GOT A CRAZY FRANKS FENDER

2012-02-12T20:40:00.000-08:00

Love at last...

2012-02-11T21:39:00.001-08:00

What can I say, Jeremiah welcomed us with open arms and did such a killer job in every way. He gave us an excuse to take nice long ride, build nice long pan head and hang out with good friends for a nice long time. I got to meet some really cool people with great stories that were down to share them. I really dug everything about LOVE and everything that he had going there, good vibes for sure. This show was down to earth, jeremiah and his whole family working together really stoked me out to say the least. Thanks You so much for a great time and also thanks to Robert and ryan at the chopper wedding for your hospitality. You guys are all genuine dudes and that's what matters most.

Well Jeramiah from Love cycle asked us to be apart of the

his show this year and this was the cycle that we got together for it.

It's a kick in the balls.

51F, 19" over harley springer thanks to my pal Blotto Mike D

and T bone at Noise cycles for doing a incredible job replacing the stem.

Chase painted the ttank my pops lacing up some wheels and wiring it, and the turk making it even harder to ride with a jockey shift

It turned out bad ass and is unreal to ride.

Thanks alot to Love cycles for having us out there and putting on a great show.

Wanted!!!!!

I got to hang out and talk to Tom Fugle for a while at the love show. Let me tell you, I couldn't be more stoked about that. A wallet, a Polaroid and some great stories he had to tell as a couple secrets about his choppers.
I've always really admired his work and to finally meet him in person was pretty cool to say the least.
Thanks Tom

Last week me and turkey went out to the dessert

To pick up a couple bikes and ended up with this little gem.

65 sportster xlch, was built in the early 70s by a COP!

Yep thats right, the dude was a chicago cop for 30 years.

He built it in the early 70s, and it has been in a dessert garage since.

It runs perfect, and doesn't break your leg when you start it.

I'm kinda lovin this thing and don't wanna sell it.

Dale Velzy brought surfing and hot rodding together better than anyone. He passed away in 2005 and I was lucky enough to go to his memorial. It was just as much of a surfboard and car show as a funeral, which I'm sure is how he would have liked it...

Andy Roy has always been one of my favorite skateboarders. I got a chance to meet him about a week ago, which happened to be the day after he apparently tried to choke out DMX the rapper (?) while he was on stage. Whatever, it was epic. Last thing he said to me was "keep skateboarding tough". I don't know if he meant it to me personally, like hangin' tough, or if he was talking about the act of skateboarding not turning into some Life of Ryan crap, but either way it's good advise. I'm gonna say that he meant both

Front End Time

2011-12-17T00:44:00.000-08:00

I've been swapping bars, risers and tube lengths for a while now and I think I'm done.

Wide glide, sportster clamp, rubber mount risers and low z bars

Early top tree that a tweaker must have gotten ahold of and drilled holes to take a sportster clamp. I was psyched when I found this, but I could have done it myself so easily

4" tube extenders. An old dude at the swap meet shuttered when I first came across these telling me I was going to kill myself. He must have read it on the jockey journal

Early speed-holed sportster brake with glide drum. I like it, and it actually kinda works!
