Slow days

It's cold, dark, and I don't want to spend time at the shop lately.

So here's a photo of Piper and Ady rockin the bubble shield

new machine for the shop

its all paid for, going to pick one of these up on saturday morning

photo from this past summer

that was an eventful ride

Fender Mount

i built on of the small brackets to mount the rear fender on my XS
now i need to finish the sissybar and the fender will be all mounted up

do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong decade?

fender finally mounted

i had some spare time today, so i changed the oil on my sportster, and mounted this fender on Cal's shadow. sorry, these photos are kind of at a weird angle.

his tin's are getting painted next weekend

mark your calenders

two stroke 90cc

my two-stroke 50cc moped is slow as hell.

but i had no idea that anyone could make something thats <100cc do this

metal rack!

to de-clutter the shop, i built a tall metal rack, so i can leave the 10 footers and the longer scraps up there and have it out of the way. sorry for all the crappy pics lately... time for a new camera?

picked up a new sportster!

well, new to me at least...
i already took off a couple little bits that i wasnt too into. and took it to Rick at Dirty Rat Moto this morning to get a little air leak figured out. this thing is pretty solid. i got a decent deal!

i already my a quick sissy bar to kinda make it my own until i chop it up in the winter

fixed ady's flat on her little honda right outside our apartment, luckily the weather was nice. and took a trip to bill's boneyard. i had to take a photo there after having seen Edward Burtynsky's exhibit at Weber State.

Shinya Ishigami

and i stole this image from Falcon Motorcycles blog. this is Shinya Ishigami, of Docklands Speed Shop in Kawasaki, Japan.

i love how he has rerouted the intake and exhaust of this T100

google earth

i was wasting time searching google earth a few days ago, and found this awesome road. what a great image. i gotta go ride here

work in progress

made some progress on the leather for the saddle on my XS today.
i still need to finish tooling it, but i'll be dying it, trimming it down, and lacing it to the seatpan

XS progress

welded up my seat hinge and the mounts for the license plate bracket today.
shaved the fork tubes as well, but i dont have any photos of that.

XS650 progress

day 1 of bobbing out the XS

Shop Progress

the new shop is well on its way to being set up. we are starting a new XS650 chop this week that should be pretty cool.
the CB350 cafe started up this week for the first time with the bigger camshaft and rebuilt engine. it runs strong. so it should be on the streets in a week or two!
