Big Jake is Selling This

Tony and I built this bike about 2 years ago. Jake has one of the best xs's out there and he wants to sell it. Anchor built hardtail, exhaust , sissy bar, etc etc. Bike is titled and is a solid running machine. 3500.00 or best offer. Hit me up and I will pass along his #.

Two Days in....

So two days in on the fab work and I am making some good headway. Pipes are done and mounted SOLID. I want to know I could stand on my pipes and they aren't going anywhere. Carb is on and cables all run. Waiting on a tank and bungs so I can mount the fender. Still need a ton of little bits that always add up to a large chunk of money. So I will plug away at the fabrication and start thinking of paint. So far I am loving the stance and that is a good start.

Some WOW bikes

The little blue Triumph is the bike I finished up for Webb in the club. Super fun little machine and everybody that rides it falls in love. Super nimble and pretty quick for a 500. Check out the Hill climb/dirt drag sportsters. Looks fun and really stupid. I love it. Fritz brought out his pan and I love the gold Bonnevile.

Silver Surfer

So Shea got his bike up and going right in time for WOW. I finished up the wiring last week and all that is missing is the crazy tall exhaust that is still at the chrome shop. The bike took on a new look and motor for that matter. Look out world its silver and its gonna get surfed.

WOW 2012

Top 5 Saturday

A little view into my reading. So top 5 things you should be or want to be reading. My taste is mostly along the magazine line but I have read some great books.

Number1. On The Road. I have read on the road like 6 times at this point and every time I get something else out of it. I long for a time that you could just leave a place and thumb your way across America.

Number 2. Rodders Journa.l Best car rag out there. If you want details and history about the cars you are lookinh at then this is the one for you. It is more a book then a rag and cost allot. There is no Retro BS going on in it. Just real good cars and the writing is always top notch.

Number 3. Chopper mags. There are quite a few out there now and I love all of them. My favorites are old rags but My collection needs some more in it.The end

Number 4. Ugly Things. Ugly Things is all about 60's punk rock. Every issue is crammed pack of knowledge and facts. I love music so reading about a band from the 60's that only made one 7 inch record then fell off the face of the planet is very fun. The writing is the best and again it is a large periodical type magazine. They do include some new record reviews and I have found some great bands through the Ugly Things.

Number 5. Hop UP. Just buy the first 12 issues book. It has all of the first 12 issues in one book. Timeless hot rod photos and has some great write ups. Like all things old I am fascinated by mechanical genius, so this will blow your mind. Men drove deathtraps at unimaginable speed ust for the fact of going fast. Great product reviews and always a legit girl in the back.

Des Moines or bust

Not much to say about the drive up. We got to the show about 10 and was driving back home by 2. Scored some trinkets and got the motor. Out of the car and into the frame. Thanks to Shea, Michael , and Noot for making the trip a good time.
