Hate sanding Love painting

Well Tony and I finally got all the painting done. You have no idea how paint turns out until you get to the buffing part. I had the idea of keeping the whole bike in a 2 color scheme. Silver and black then we threw on the super subtle purple pearl lace. Now it just pops. If you stand at the back of the bike the sqiggle flows over the bike and really shows off how skinny the bike is. Of course everything is small but the motor,Fully detailed and totally rebuilt with new everything. This bike will also be at wow for its debut. Enjoy

Ironhead on the mend

Finally getting the Ironhead done. Everything is being replaced or cleaned then put back together. Truett and Osborn are doing the barrels right now and the primary and new kickstart set up are all done. Did some wacky engine turning on the side cover and on the plate I made to block off where the starter would be. Should be at wow in two weeks done.

Why I do what I do

This is the bike that made me want the girder on my Triumph. This 55 is one of my holy grail bikes when it comes down to it. I might even love this bike more than my own bike. Old Street chopper mags are my new addiction.

Sneak peep

I wasn't gonna show anything until World of Wheels but the 750 is looking so damn good I have to share. We got all the powder coated items back and we are painting the tins this week. I am gonna try and get my Iron head done also but we will see. Enjoy and within the week the 750 should be done.

Dig this

This digger is thee sickest two wheeled contraption ever. I have sat and stared at this magazine so long that this is ruining my life. I read the article so many times I could probably recite it on command. Am I the only person that lays in bed thinking about this bike? This bike was built when I was 4 years old and is still cooler than any flash in the pan scenester so cal pile of shit that people are building these days. This wannabe biker faze will pass and we will still be riding and looking for our holy grail, which just so happens to be right here.

2 just like this

Girder is all set up and makes the Slut 2 feet longer and a whole lot taller.70's bikes are the flavor of the month so I am just following the trend. Just wait until 400 series tires hit the market, or better yet 23"front rims on baggers, or flat black and red rims. Enough!

42 Degrees and I am riding

Like I said it was 42 out and I wanted to ride my new bike. I hadn't rode it since finishing the bugger. It rode like a dream and sounds even better. The 21 on the front rides smooth and the seat is super sweet. Desperate times call for freezing your ass off but with a smile the whole time
