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!
$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.
This 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. ( Hint: Drill a hole in the wall and run your shop vac outside to suck out the dust and keep the shop clean . . .)
Harley-Davidson racing engine builder and historian. I like to pick his brain about cams, compression, carbs, anything HD . . . (I needed his new phone number)
Smith wins the Springfield Mile - edging Chris Carr at the line. Bill Werner and Springsteen take the credit for tuning this fast bitch. Carr said the Kaw was too fast to draft . . .
It's more than just: No Windshields & No Front Fenders If you really want to know what it's like to be a rider. A rider of classic Harley-Davidson choppers . . . all the feelings you get - All the gas stops - All the bugs, winds, animals, rains, the earth, cold, hot - everything . . . just ask these guys. I always look over their machines. They are built to run. Precautions have been taken to make sure they run. And the few times I see them - and say a few words to them - they are always smiling.
One of the coolest, nicest cats you'll ever meet. (Just for the record, Bacon's knuckle is in that pickup box, you just can't see it from all the stuff - if you zoom in, all you can see is the sissy bar and part of a handlebar)
Can the tuner team of Werner/Springsteen and their Kawasaki win at Springfield? Bryan Smith did it at Indy ! Coolbeth best put the hammer down or get beat by a fast "Brand X" . . . Kaw or Duc . . .
