Take the easy way . . ?
All these big custom bike builders usually just take the easy way with a Super E or G . . . come on guys . . . anybody know where there's a blower I could put on my '65 stroker motor? Let's build a bomb !
Gak's Pan (from Hawgholic)
This is fuckin' huge . . . I've been sending some e-mails back and forth to Gak from Japan. I've always admired the builds that come from Hawgholic and Sporty Garage. Best wishes and I'll catch up with you sometime. Ride on from across the pond ! -Noot

Lords of Loud
This Lords deal in Cedar Rapids was like really fuckin' cool. These guys put on a great show on short notice. Somebody worked really hard on making up some cool trophies. Despite the rain, everyone just sucked it up - and brought their neat old iron anyway. The different engine configurations is what I really get into - and there was plenty to look at . . . Hope to see you all again real soon - and if you missed it - I'm sure they'll be another one next year!
Bring your dirt and a bag . . .
Only a couple hours away . . . kind-of a no brainer . . .Go Czech-it-out bro !
Epoxy Paint Sucks !
$7.00 can-o-stripper, a scraper, sand blast, another scraper, a propane torch, and more stripper. What a son-of-a-bitch. That shit was tough - but I'm winning now!
Norton Glory
To see these bikes is one thing - but, to hear these nitro machines run a full, clean pass through the 1/4 is music to the ears . . . sounds which will be lost forever.
Widowmaker
Lots of 1st time riders bit it on these things - gnarly little dinger !"Hey, take it for a spin . . . then - deader than a doornail . . ."
Elvis knows. . .

Elvis rode the cool shit.
Skat Blast from TP
Model: BB-731This little benchtop blaster works great for Harley parts . . . I use the Skat Magic beads for a really nice finish on cast aluminum cases. Always bead blast those used gears to check for cracks, pits, etc.
