Dirty Work

Moving well on the wiring for the Buell. The goal is to wire the entire bike using only a cannibalized version of the stock harness. The skill is in being able to cleanly strip the unnecessary wiring and then neatly apply what's left to make everything work. That step separates the men from the fags that watch too much American Chopper. A whole lot easier said than done, but I make it happen.

Good times are finally on the horizon. A couple days in Daytona this week, the swap meet at the end of the month, then two months to the Long Road, Smoke Out, and Faro. Since taking pics of wiring a bike would be fucking boring, here's a morally casual young lady posing with my bike from a shoot a few years ago.

The Sun Also Rises


Heading for Daytona soon. Going down for the show at Willie's and to remind Roadside he couldn't judge a little girl's jump rope competition, let alone a chopper show. With my current ride it might take a few days to get there, but there's no substitute for style.

Bare Knuckle Brawler



Making it look easy on the Buell. Tailight mounted(the side mount Kury-Akyn unit just wasn't working with the bike), sweet battery box set-up fabbed and mounted nice and snug behind the motor, and likely the slickest choke bracket ever made by a man.


My only disappointment is that I don't get to keep this thing. I just hope that damn Disco Dave appreciates the sweet work I'm turning out for him.

By Land & Sea


It's been cold for too damn long, so what can you do? Look at pics of trips you've taken of course. This is me, Mike, and John lining up to get on the ferry out of Larne, Northern Ireland headed over to Scotland. This trip was the first time I'd taken a bike onto a ferry(twice) and it's pretty cool. You ride on, strap the bike down, then head upstairs and chill out until the boat gets you across the water. You get the high sign, strap on your lid and ride off into another country. Can't wait to get back to riding in Europe this summer with the boys.

Beautiful Baby


Miss Dayna Delux. This shot reminds me of Heather Graham in Swingers, easily the hottest role she ever played, even if she was only in the last part of the movie. So fucking money!

Rare Sighting

This picture was captured early this evening. It's the ultra rare Alpine Snow Bulldog. Even using a high speed camera, it was impossible to capture a clear image of this elusive beast. Be on the look out.

Buellshit


I've been getting a lot of the detail work finished on the Buell lately. The stuff that you blow off when you're first starting the bike, but now it's got to get done. Among other things, I trimmed down the sprocket cover and re-did the mount for the rear master cylinder reservoir. I can't help but think about how many of these little details will go unnoticed by 95% of the people who see the bike when it's finished. I find my own personal satisfaction in the little details.

Business Time


Like when you say, 'Is that it?'

I know what you mean, "Yeah, that's it......" It's Business Time.

The 70's May Have Sucked......


But this bike doesn't. Complete with accessory coke whore. Rock on.

Fuck You Winter!!!!


Crazy snow storms all over the North, shitty rain and cold here in the South. I've ridden maybe 100 miles in the last two months! Fuck that. You never really appreciate the good riding weather until it's gone. I'm ready motherfuckers. I'm going to ride my ass off this year. Long Road, Smoke Out, Europe, wherever. I'm beyond ready.

Evil Has Many Faces

And a sweet one like this could make you do a lot of bad things.

A Greasy Good Day

We took the carbs off of Jimmy's CB750 and brought them to Bad Monkey so he could clean them up. A nice 60 degree day in early February and as a bonus my Evo fired on the first kick after sitting for two months.

Gooney Goo Goo

A couple shots of Disco's Buell. I can feel it, 2010 is the year!
