Henry Rollins

I've just been to see Henry Rollins in Vicar Street.

He talked at length about Lemmy. It was good.

Guinness Triumph

I don't know who took this image, I found this randomly on the internet. I'm curious about it 'cos Guinness is located here in D8, not in Enniskerry...

Fuck the Bigots

Today, Ireland holds a constitutional referendum on Same Sex Marriage.

The last bastion of conservative, catholic, homophobic reactionaries have waged a dirty, bizarre and misleading campaign to encourage anyone who isn't fully informed, to vote NO.

MERCENARY doesn't stand for that shit.

If you have a vote, you know what to do. Tell these fucking Bigots to go fuck themselves.

Buell Helicoils

Remember the other day when I broke three of the stainless-steel mudguard bolts on the Buell?

Well last night I drilled out the remains of the bolts using a series of cobalt drill bits. It wasn't so hard. And this morning I re-threaded the bores with Helicoils to reduce the chance of any future seizures.

So all is right with the world again...

Mercenary Garage

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Mercenary is going pro.

The first phase of this operation will be offering a service designing and installing vinyl motorcycle wraps. This is due to go live in May.

As part of this endeavour we've established a new Facebook page - Mercenary Garage

It will be less oriented towards Culture and more oriented towards whatever is going on in the workshop. There will be some overlap between Mercenary.ie and Mercenary Garage but there will be additional photos and stuff on Mercenary Garage that won't feature on the blog.

We'd really appreciate it if you paid a visit and 'Liked' us!

Just follow the link above or click on the Facebook doofer on the top right of the page and then click 'Like'

Motorcycle Vinyl Wraps, Design and Install, Dublin, Ireland

Buell Motorcycle Wrap

Today is shaping up a bit like yesterday...

I applied the first piece of wrap to the Buell headlight fairing. The install went okay but there were flaws in the laminate. The printer thought they might disappear with post heating but they didn't. 

Most of the rest of the prints are like this too, so I need to get a reprint during the week and do another install.

Arse!

I'm heading back out to the workshop now to do something easy and safe...
 

I'm pleased with how it turned out (apart from the flaws, obviously). I would have preferred a matte lam but it's not available with this particular type of print - at least not with the volume that I'm buying.

The flaws are visible as vertical lines in the bottom left corner of the panel.

The graphic has a purple tint under fluorescent light, in daylight it's grey.

Imelda May aboard a Honda ST1300 Pan European bike taxi racing from the Royal Albert Hall to the Graham Norton Show. I suppose a Norton would probably have been more appropriate for a variety of reasons...
