Hell or Highwater.....



Someday some way I will own one or both of these bikes. Shea is astride the XLCR factory cafe racer. I personally think it is the coolest fucking bike ever made by the factory. My second is the Boattail Super Glide Shovelhead. I sat at the museum and stared at this bike for along time. It is something between being so ugly its cool again and something off an episode of Buck Rodgers. Don't care some day someway its going to happen.

Joined The Village Of The Damned....

Its all official I have a Instagram Account. Look up anchormoto and I will start the post on there as well. This is  all my attempt to drum up business and show what these hands of mine are capable of building. Already wasted about two hours on there. Ugh

Harley Museum Bomb......
















We ended up staying at the museum almost all day last Friday. I will say that because of the insane collection they have under one building you could spend at least a week just taking it all in. I think they said they have every year model covered except one. So as you walk through the museum it really starts to get to be to much really. Very good mix of stuff in there from stock to full dual engined baggers. They had some great examples of factory race bikes and Noot was giving out proper period correct seminars on Ironheads all day. I learned a lot and enjoyed the whole day. We went to the factory as well and got a tour of the plant. Basically every motor except the Vrod is built under one roof. 850,000 square feet of robots and workers putting your motor together. We passed the old factory where both my bikes motors were built and I had a little moment of reflection. With time a motorcycle takes on its own soul, or path. They can be cranky sons of bitches or the eye opening portal to living in the world. All fucking built in Milwaukee, USA

Gonna Need More Wall Space......


















Maybe my favorite part of the Museum was all the bitchin old print items. All the posters and sales stuff is so cool. Not to mention the tank wall of all the paint and emblems for like 60+ years. Of course I like all the late 60"s and early 70's stuff best. The Amf stuff is so over played but honestly it was the craziest stuff the ever did.

Evel Ways.......








At the Harley museum there was all kinds of cool Evel stuff strung about. So thanks to the guy Scott that put on the Mama Tried show, we got to see the behind the door archive room. In there were these Xrays of Evel after a not so clean landing. Broken up to shit . Also a cool sign that was on his jump ramp as well as a neat little cut out to be awesome in. Evel was the best jumper in the world, sadly he was also the worst lander in the world. Ha

In The Books......








































Here are some of my favorite pics from the Milwaukee trip. Noots new nickname is Bang Tango.Had a blast and I will post a bunch of stuff over the week to fill it in.
