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)
High Life Bar - Des Moines
Man vs. Food . . . Did you check that out? The broasted chicken, the bacon wrap deal . . . I didn't know they had food? I just drank the High Life and watched the vintage televisions !!
Savior
Don't know about those fender struts . . ?Another 2 into 1 (was real popular. . .

Martin Hoffman
Section of original Harley-Davidson advertisement - 1970s.Hoffman, is a realist painter from Florida. Mostly figurative paintings. How about that Sporty Roadster??? - and No face shields????
Billy Budde

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

Lights took a shit . . .
I'll just put on my "vintage electrical" thinking cap. Hmmmmmmm???Thankfully - I got a magneto, I made it home!
Boring is Boring
I'm getting backed up with work - time to get back at it . . .
The VanNorman 900 boring bar has served us well.
Custom table is set up for 900/1000 Ironhead Sportster.

HEAVY & Co.
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
Kruse's Multi-Functional Wagon
This vehicle serves many useful functions:1. Daily Transportation
2. Taxi
3. Refuge from inclement weather
4. Boardroom for important discussions and meetings
5. T-Shirt Distribution Center
6. Decompression and relaxation zone
7. Burnout wheel chock . . . (most important)
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. . .
. . . how to kick start a motorcycle.He owned Shovelheads, Sportsters, KHKs,
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.
