Clockwork Orange Motorcycles |
Splendid news! Lamb Engineering are returning again to the Piazza, bringing yet more jaw-dropping bespoke motorcycles. For those that missed them last year, Larry's bikes have travelled the world, (and America) and scooped about every prize and accolade going. The craftsmanship and eye to detail begger belief. Not only that, Larry's bikes run as well as they look, and who can forget the sound of Larry's Jap Bobber bellowing up the High Street? Take a look at these amazing machines, and come along and see them in the flesh, and have a chat with their creator.

Clockwork Orange Motorcycles are a happy little crew of builders that were new to me until I saw some of their bikes at The Happening last September. The quality was obvious straight away, and I didn't hesitate to invite them along for the Festival this year. A lovely Triumph Bobber and a stripped-down Suzuki GS550 done in the fashionable "Wrenchmonkee" style showed real class then, I wonder what they will bring this year?
