Little Maxy

Posted on 16 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Big limbs! You can see how he’s going to be a big boy in this photo.


We’ve got a collar on him already.


I’ve glaucoma.


Looking towards to door at Mia.


Mia. Very pissed off.


Who dat?

We picked up Little Maxy from the breeders yesterday, he hid in the corner of his room, under the pong table for a long time, but Christina eventually got him to hop into the Fuzzyard fuzzy bed and he was kneading and purring away by the end of the night. This morning we found that he’d eaten a lot of his food and he’d done lots of poo too (he’s already well toilet trained of-course).

MIa’s pretty scared of him, which is a bit of a surprise to us as she’s damn tough with the visiting neighborhood cats through the glass (haha). She’s acting very grumpy but we’re sure they’ll both get along eventually.

Wedding cake shopping

Posted on 16 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Faye Cahill’s Dulwich Hill studio.


Taste sample box.


Naughty! Christina couldn’t wait for me…

Yesterday I got up with a rude migraine headache. Yes I did drink a couple of glasses of red the night before, I was also feeling a little sick (maybe one of the sick boys at the BMU/MCC bike night passed on the flu?), in any case we had some important stuff to do today so I soldiered on.

First up was wedding cake shopping. Our wedding florist, the wonderful Susan Avery suggested that we see Faye Cahill for a wedding cake. We sussed out Faye’s web site and liked the more simple designs she had on there so we booked in a meeting (that was a month ago now). The pouring rain + my headache put me in a pretty grumpy mood, but once I saw Faye’s little studio I snapped out of it. A really cool little set-up, basically you walk right into her kitchen, the sights and smells were awesome.

We checked out a book of hers and pretty much picked out a cake design we loved straight away. We’ll need Susan Avery to do a little magic to finish the cake off, but I’m sure that won’t be a drama. Faye left us with a sample box containing samples of cake flavours as well as filling flavours, we’re both in agreement on which flavours we’d like for our cake, too easy!

Next up we headed west to pick up our new Russian Blue kitten Maxy! Pics are on the way :)

Targa Tasmania 2011 – Longford Township Stage

Posted on 16 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Cam just uploaded a video of the Longford stage which captures the sounds of Targa quite nicely. We got there early and chose this corner of all corners, we were right at the front of the barrier too.

Zoomer update

Posted on 15 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Bought some black DEI exhaust wrap to wrap my header.


All that experience from wrapping up road bike handlebar tape paid off nicely :)


Bags of quality allen head bolts to replace all the ugly OEM hex bolts all over the Zoomer.


Lots of bolts on the engine replaced.


Took the gold forks off (might be selling them to another guy in Australia with a Zoomer) and put my stock black forks back on for now (they bottom out when you sit on the bike ahaha). My new front end is still on back-order (lower fork, disc brake set-up + new alloy wheel).

PS: Excuse the crappy pics! Better pics when there’s more light!

Spotted: My Zoomer outside of MCC Sydney CBD

Posted on 15 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Photo by Matthew Mead.

Couldn’t resist re-posting this photo taken by Matt Mead. He brought a little instamatic camera along the other night (using film). Instantly reminded me of my hero Terry Richardson. You want a raw show? Throw that DSLR in the bin and buy yourself a cheap instamatic. Done! More of Matt’s pics from the BMU/MCC bike night here.

Coming home to goodies in the mail

Posted on 14 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Bought a Bell Custom 500 helmet and I love love love it. It’s light, not as huge on my head as my last helmet and it looks super pimp.


Also got myself a Death Spray Custom T-Shirt. The guys were nice enough to send me a bunch of sticker which I’ll gladly rep once I figure out where to stick them!


Also got some gold detail bolts from the crew at Standard Functions, excited and proud to be repping them too on my chest, yew!

BMU Bike Night at MC Cyclery

Posted on 13 April, 2011 by Justin Fox


Up in lights.


Cool art = culture.


Ash and Matt.


Ash’s toys.


Ash was working on Rockstar Racing’s/World 24hr Solo Champion Gordo’s bike.


A lot of the boys made a b-line directly to the helmet display to try on some funky new Lazer helmets.


What’s a BMU bike night without beers?! Thanks Grant for the cold bevvies :)


Perhaps the only tool that’s allowed to leave Ash’s workshop.


Grant and Tom from Hell on Wheels.


‘Master of Ceremonies Cycling’ Grant busy MCing.


Jing’s BMC at Menya.


Being my first time at Menya I went for the Menya ramen with miso base and damn it was awesome. Best Ramen I’ve had in Sydney to date.


Trieu ordered the dragon, which was so hot it blew his face off. :loling:

Grant’s dream of opening the ultimate bike shop is now a reality. Last night he invited BMU for our own private bike night at his new shop on Clarence Street in the city. Having spent a good part of 6 months working on the plans for this business (the plan was to be a major shareholder but things fell through at crunch time) I’ve got to say it was sweet sweet. Not bitter sweet, just super sweet. I’m so happy for Grant and I’m wishing him the very best.

Despite not actually working on bikes, or building Frankenstein bikes or going for a drunken ride afterwards, last night’s MC Cyclery/BMU bike night was heaps of fun and I’m hoping Grant will be up for more BMU Bike Nights at MCC in future.

PS: I rode the Zoomer in peak hour traffic to get there last night. Have to admit I was a little scared initially, but once I got rolling I had a blast!
