My return to the world of twin shocks has made it possible for me move into untried territory,at least for me. Because I have rewired my bike yet again for its new life,I was able to delete even more electrical stuff and still have most of the basics.But because I junked the headlight bypass...

yeah,that's right,this old fucker is returning to the mainstream, Had a sunny day today and rebuilt the back of the bike. Stock length swing arm,laid down twin shocks and a beefy 1-1/4" DOM rear end.Some gussets here and there,a new battery box,seat/fender and a new shorter chain are all on the...

I pm'd several people about this and looking at the Cascade Moto calender today,they now have it listed for Sunday the 22nd instead of the 21st,so if this messes up your plans [like it does mine],I apologize.

Yep,I'm on vacation. Two weeks off.Not paid vacation either. Just testing the waters to see if I get bored or anything,because technically,I can retire next Tuesday. Not the same vibe this time around as my last "vacation" in Nov/Dec.Been fiddling with the bike,new mono shock setup,reinforced...

Easy to say,simple to mentally design and a pain in the ass to make,so far.. But,made some progress between rain storms. Will have to get a couple sleeves made to match the Bonnies axle to the bigger adjusters from the lowly '74 CB450 parts bike that donated its arm ends/adjusters. And...

with you guys?? For years now you've been buggin BlueJ and BonnieLass for THE pic and they finally give us what we've been begging for,and all we can manage is a few Mmmmm's and yummies. Whats the Bonnie world coming to,when one of the hottest chicks we know,bares it all for us to enjoy,as her...

Have had these drag bars laying around for a few years,and today ,thanks to the risers I got at the ABATE swap meet last weekend,I got them mounted.Oh yeah,pimp stylin now...

My dad decided he only needed one vehicle to drive [at 81] so he handed me the keys to his "old" truck this morning. "Gifted" it to me,which cost $25.50 to transfer the title. 1991 Mazda B2600i,extra cab,5sp/OD,AC,PS,PB,canopy and dealer maintained for its entire,gulp,68,000 miles. At 70mph,in...

Thought I had this thing all worked out and went for a pleasant ride this afternoon....All is well until I hit the first big chuck hole,then bam,the back tire hits the bottom of the battery box.I am startled,then start laughing my ass off. Almost 5 inches of wheel travel ! Gonna make another new...

Jeff gave me his old Predator pipe to play with,so I cut my modded HD can off,and welded the Pred on,full length.Will have to wait for glue to dry until tomorrow before cranking up a 2into1,high pipe Predator.... Pipe was cracked nearly all the way around the inlet reducer.Looks like they got a...

Well its been a few days and its almost time for a change. Met a young guy this weekend that's starting up his own fabrication biz and the work I've seen at his one man shop is amazing.Everything is built by hand,using giant,old shop tools [mostly very early 20th century] that he has modified to...

My new Speedmaster tank project that is. Now to decide what to do with it.. But I couldn't pass it up for the price;perfect paint,dent free,cap,petcock and Heritage badges,oh my..

to all of you,my friends,for your words of kindness and support,during my wifes trials and tribulations this past year and a half. My wife Jeri,died in her sleep last night,beside me in bed,while we slept.I believe she felt no pain and now,her ordeal is done.Please give your spouses,kids,GF`s...

After seeing how fast things go to hell around here,I`ve decided to quit being a pussy and just do shit that I want ,to my bike. Here`s the start of winter phase1....

The day after Thanksgiving,that is. No "black Friday' bullshit for us this year. The wife and I are heading to Las Vegas in the early AM on Friday. Staying at the Flamingo for the first 2 days,then on over to the condo that my dad is giving us for the next 7 days. Its been a year and a half...

And it was as simple as buying a new helmet.Have only worn full face helmets the past 30 years,but after meeting BillyD of HellMutts at this years Billetproof show,I`ve kept looking at the old 3/4 lids of my youth.And by youth,I mean the non bubbled headed type like Bell and Buco. Well thanks to...

disconnected the TPS that is.Bike started just like normal,warmed up a bit quicker and pulled harder/revved faster.Seemed like a little bit of good,just about everywhere.:ride:

Got a wild hair on the porch this morning,while waiting to take the wife to the doctors,and thought my bike needed a change,so I made a new cooler. And because its Bonnie`s 50th this year,I decided old skool would look the best,so I went oil in frame.:eeek: Popped off the right lower frame...

after sitting a spell. Suppose to be a 66 Daytona,but I think they were twin carb bikes and this is a single carb,2into1 high pipe bike.The model search is on.:shh: The chrome is all gone along with most of the wiring,but the bike is very complete.Should make for an interesting project.

picked up a can of Rustoleum black BBQ paint a few days ago and sprayed some on this morning.Its not flat black,needing the steel wool to bring out a shine. Its semi gloss right out of the can and stayed the same after riding around a bit today.I sprayed some on the cylinder barrels also,leaving...
