Well folks, I am very pleased and proud to announce that Anglo-American Custom Cycle Ltd (www.4HD.net) is the FIRST UK member of The International Master Bike Builders Association (IMBBA)
This is indeed an honour to be a part of an organisation that strives to give independant custom bike builders recognised credentials.
Unlike the Big firms like H-D, there is no way to check on the skills, qualifications and reputation of a bike builder other than word of mouth or their own websites. The IMBBA provides a certification track from Mechanic through to Master Bike Builder and believe me, the coursework is no walk in the park. This is a huge step forward without having to suffer the regulations that Government approved schemes force upon small builders.

Guns, great to see your supporting the lads. I myself am ex-forces, served out in Iraq back in 2003 and as a result suffer from PTSD from many traumatic experiences. My life has never been the same since but I am slowly trying to build it back. I have experienced first hand the lack of support for soldiers effected by physical and mental trauma and the ignorance from the government towards the support they need. I currently attend Combat Stress in Shropshire every 6 months for a 10 day residential stay to give me and my family a break and to get the support and help I need, I'm actually due down there again on 4th April. I am currently, with the help of Paul (Artspray) in the process of securing some airbrush equipment from Ken badger (who is kindly donating it to the charity) for their activities center. He has promised us some compressors and airbrushes and hopfully they are being shipped as we speak. These charities rely on fundraising and donations to survive and I just think it's criminal that the government who are happy for people to put their lives on the line are unwilling to care for them after the fact. So once again Guns, I speak for myself and all veterans and thank you for your support, P.S. if anyone knows how they could help out in any way with this venture or could donate anything airbrush related, that would be fantastic.
Kind Regards
Hasey

Hasey mate, if I can sort something, you know I will. Not sure what sort of thing I can scrounge up from people but I'll drop Daniel Power and Mike Lavallee a line and see if they can make a contribution to the cause, maybe they will let us have some dvd's or stencils or something. I'll put the feelers out mate.
