Whats Happening

The Triumph is back together, the 750 is in final build mode, Tony building fancy brake parts and Ricky see's how skinny you can make some after market Z Bars.I think we have it all covered so if you need anything just e-mail B44tubiewatt@aol.com



Before and After After

Yes this is my bike. 08 Triumph Scrambler and I went and did The Anchor treatment to it. I like this bike to just get on and haul where ever and when ever I feel like it. Only thing left is the seat getting covered. Scored this crazy beat up Sporty tank and new I had to just run it like it is. Any ways the Orange paint was OG then I painted it the blue and now this . Bang

Dig This!!!

Picked up this Girder from a local guy and finally got around to setting it up. I can't believe how long it makes the Triumph look and how skinny the overall lines are now. I love 70's diggers and now the old slut is wearing her new grill. Just picture it bouncing down the road and me with a big giant shit eating grin!

Lead shoe boogie.....

Something about old school flat track racing is so freakin cool. It was like climbing on and knowing you were gonna eat shit every time you went out there. Watch
On Any Sunday and you know what I am saying. The Hillclimb section of that movie I have watched a hundred times and it never gets old. 100+ mph and then pitching it sideways, CRAZY.

The new Horse has Tony's 550 Honda in it from the Smokeout. The pictures look great. I will try and scan it in tonight and post it soon. His 750 Honda chopper is almost done and is gonna lay waste to the masses. Anyways I have a screaming baby in my lap so later skater.

So it be done!

Well here it is in all its glory. Well maybe not glory but the motor is in the frame and the exhaust is all tacked together. I was sworn to that this motor will run. I need to yank the motor out and finish welding the motor mounts. I am building a 2 into 1 intake for a Mikuni carb. Motor will be polished and painted and the exhaust will be ceramic coated black. I am gonna run a 16 on the rear. Anyways I will be riding this within the month then I can focus on the Ironhead.

From the beginning...

Maybe the only good thing my pops ever did was knock my mom up and gave me the love for two wheels. Like most kids I grew up riding dirt bikes and that turned into street bikes. We would be out riding and if our bikes broke my dad would just leave us out there and make us fix it or do the walk of shame. Good life lessons when I look back at it. He would bring home 50 dollar bikes and let us tear into them. Any ways here is a picture of Rick Sr. the year or so before I was born. Back in the day when dirt bikes were seriously dangerous. When we were kids he would be riding a Husky and I would be on a YZ 80 trying like hell to keep up with him. He could ride a mother fucking dirtbike. Anyways found this in a pile of stuff and it made me happy.

Lots of this!

Two weeks old and I still haven't got more than three hours of sleep.

ARGH!

Prime example of what I was talking about. Dual drums on both ends, simple paint, totally clean and everything was thought out. Brat style stolen from the Noise blog

More Chicken Shit....



Slick as Chicken Shit!

Some people like to see a whole bike in its done form. Some like myself like to see all the individual parts that make a bike flow. Lately I love front ends.Like most parts if the front sucks or is just thrown together you can tell. It is ok to mix shit up as long as the effort is there. I also really like how headlights are mounted, high and tight is the key. Here is the Crack Pipes front end. I smoothed out all the triple trees by cutting off all the tabs that where for the speedo/tach. A couple of hours with a hand file and then the top tree got chrome plated and the bottom I painted with black lacquer. I had built these bars for the red bike a year ago but they really look good on the Ironhead. Anyways that is my rant for today. Front ends 101. Next I will go over seats I think!


P.S. I am sick of Japanese Mother Fuckers building the sickest bikes in the world. I will bring back the glory or die trying.

Staying in KC

Well nobody wanted the slut so it looks like I will be keeping it. I can't freaking believe nobody has 5 grand for a slick limey chopper. What are we in a recession or something? Anyways I will just keep riding it and wait till some asshole coughs up some jack. Also the new shop is all official now. Keys in hand I already started moving stuff in. I will post some pics soon of the shop.

Frankie Von Dell Big Thanks.

Frankie hooked up a Mexican brother and did the striping on my tank. She did amazing trying to fix my wobble lines. Now this thing just pops. Thanks again and I owe you girl.

Red Bike Lives Again!

One bike is going away so this bike will be built for the 6th time. This is the initial throw together. I had built the sissy bar and handle bars for a different bike. They have since landed on the red bike. Bought the seat at the last swap meet for 20 bucks and it fits perfect. Figured out the front end and headlight then made some spacers for the rear. What motor shall find it's way into the cradle? We will see what transpires.The last pic is my view from my stool. Many hours are spent just like this. It takes time for my brain to click but when it does it goes BANG!

Dumb dumb stuff

I just listed my Triumph on e-bay. I need the money for my other bike and to get us through winter. If it sells I will be stoked and if it doesn't I will also be stoked. Kinda messed up to hope it don't sell. I love this bike and I am sure someone else can love it also.

Chrome bits

Got the chrome bits back today. I almost died on the spot when I was told how much this cost. I went home and got the front end back together and damn if it doesn't make all the difference in the world. Enjoy
