Just a little . . .



Threw some simple stripin' on Kelly's pan parts . . . jazz it up a bit.  Nuthin' 2 funky.  Jus a wee bit 'o One Shot.  Git it on my clothes, my nails . . . my ear? 
I git it all over.  More on me . . . I look like Roth.

Early case ?

Late model pump ?  Use this handy jig from S&S to drill your hole.

Hungry for turkey ?

I just can't get my mind off Miss Turkey.  She is just the sweetest . . . 
and I'll bet she has a cool accent.

This ticket is becoming worth less and less everytime gas goes up . . .

Totally Righteous Dude

Carl is alright by me.  He sure helped me out of a jam, sent me a spring and a plug & gave me some great technical advice.  If you need anything for your early 61" or 74" restoration - get with these guys.  They've done their homework. 

Grand Theft Auto

The last couple weeks (yes, weeks) this 'vette has been sitting at a local grease monkey auto shop outside.  I'm thinking car trailer, 4:15am, log chain, drag it through some guy's front yard, get it to California, strip it, sell it, pawn it . . . go to jail?

XLCH

Rode the '61 to work today . . .

I need to get the Fastlane series on DVD.

Out with steel . . .

Good Stuff

Cheryl makes the best homemade pizza - with crust from scratch.

Jumpin' Out

Hux's Sporty is jumpin' outta high.  We gotta keep 'em high.  High is good.  Maybe we fix it?  Why you say?
I like Hux. 

Bits & Pieces

Mismatched cases, mismatched flywheels, different years, different tapers, different ways of doing things . . . all adds up.  Hope it runs someday?  Still is progress.  Still staring. Still dreaming.

Gator's Motor

Custom airhorn . . . and those nice original aluminum toadstools - Nice !

Tank Art

She kinda looks like Charo . . .

Rare Engine

Innovations

Innovative Sportster heel-toe shifter . . .

Oh shit . . .

Sticky front brake had me pushin' the front on sandy corners.  Like riding dirt track.  Get it fixed before you bite it . . . Fixed it last night . . . gummed up - needed a thinner washer . . . The K is back today - No harm done - All is right again . . . whew. 

GS at Donnie Smith

This cool 550 Suzuki is the one I picked . . . Neato Street Racer for Urban Assault.  Plus, the plaid paint matches my boxer shorts . . .

Original 1939 EL is together and bolted.  Spins free with proper end play.  Thanks Carl and Matt for your help over the phone.  Thanks Wiley too !   Dynamically balanced at 52%. 

Crisis in Japan

You can Paypal $20 to maguro999@hotmail.com if you want to help Motoyan get some water for the Japanese people (especially children) that can't drink the water because of the radiation.  All gifts are appreciated.  Thank You !  PS. I know not everybody is rich, but every little bit will help.  I talked to some people who know Motoyan - and they all said he is legit and a super person . . . so, there you go.  It least you know your money will be spent wisely.  Thanks Again !

Harley Factory Photo

Looks like he's testing a 5 speed transmission - with a neat jockey-hand-shift-deal to get it in all the gears.  A factory 5 speed jockey shift !  A product that never made it to the dealership . . .

Allan Girdler

Nobody knows more about a Harley XR, XRTT, XLR, K, KR, KK, KH, KHK, KRM, XL, XLCH, XLH, XLX,  (I'm sure I left a few out) . . . he's the guy.   You've seen or read a book or two by him over the years.  If anyone reading this has his phone number, email or address, I'd like to pick his brain about a couple things sometime. 

Through all the dust and dirt . . .

Quit your whining . . .

If you're doing much for engine work . . . changing cams, pinion gears, etc.  You really should have the neat little kit available from Jim's.  You get a couple sets of pins and some detailed instructions (and chart) that tells you how to measure your camshaft and pinion gear.  This way you get the correct cam / pinion gear combination so you don't have a "whining" or "clicking" gear case.  You don't want binding or undue stress on your pinion shaft, bushings or bearings.  Retail: about $20.00

Latest Spina Shirt Design

Czech dis shit out homeboy . . . go Vegas baby or go home . . . badass on yer back or on yer Merc . . . totally cool designs from Uncle Bob . . . been there - done that - still doin' it !  Only in Vegas - git with me and I git you some . . . (2 blocks off the strip)

Valve Grinding


My panhead seats are sunk in a bit - so, I want to move the seat out . . . a larger valve was needed.  Everybody has the 1/8" oversize - I needed about 1/16" over.  I took some 1/8" overs and turned them on a lathe and reground the head.  This will give me proper valve protrusion.  Back where I wanna be . . . fun stuff.

No Way

I like funky chopper paint just as much as the next guy . . . but, this one . . . looks like the painter didn't really try as hard as they could.  Kinda just "blah" on that one buddy . . .

What if . . ?

If this shop was down the street, I'd be hangin' around there all the time.  At least until Simms kicked me out !
