There are very few photos of this guy. A man of mystery . . . He has the best sayings and quotations.
This bike ran the ice, the Black Hills, over to the Mississippi, over hill & dale and never let me down - why I sold it???? I had too many motorcycles. They really wake up with a pipe, bigger main and cut the CV spring a couple coils. Then it snarled . . .
New mainshaft and countershaft. New door bearing. All set up and ready to go in the case.
I dig the fairing ! . . . and the bright tangerine, - you can't be too bland in Vegas or they look at you funny.
Jesse gave me a lighter that day . . . said to keep it. I helped with some barriers and we talked about Leo Payne and Bonneville - I was just gettin' ready to ride out to Deadwood. I was kinda a geek . . . still am a little. (easy now)
Don't know about those fender struts . . ?

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 !
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
Save for Future Reference: Your basic belt drive, shift, foot peg set-up for open primary.
I'll just put on my "vintage electrical" thinking cap. Hmmmmmmm???
Zac and crew are first class (ok, you knew that) - An intellectually stimulating conversation was had by all. Great wares ta boot . . . get yours at www.heavy-clothing.com
This vehicle serves many useful functions:
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!
Only a couple hours away . . . kind-of a no brainer . . .
$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!
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.
Lots of 1st time riders bit it on these things - gnarly little dinger !
