New Digs and Black Flag

   So got all set up and have actually been getting some work done.Thought it would be fun to make the catch all peg board wall into a homage of sorts. So hit me up if you want some fancy pants parts built or you need help finishing up a project. I am trying to bury myself in work over the winter. My old man shovel project is know into go mode so as it makes some progress I will post some pics. I am planning to ride to BF7 already so that will be the ultimate deadline. Noot was supposed to be coming into town today to hangout but his Pan has been giving him fits. Sorry bud.

Knapsack - Day Three of My New Life (1997 - Full Album)

                                             Funny there always seems to be a perfect soundtrack for ever moment in my life. Here is one that sums up a ton!

No Idea In The World

I truly think I am going to open the Anchor as a for real shop in the next few weeks. Stay tuned and expect crazy things in the barrel. Moved shops into a real building with real AC and heat. It also has real rent to pay. Fuck it right I am ready for the challenge. So the last few years have been leading up to this and all the hard work, time, sacrificing, wanting, and learning has got me to the place I'm at. Amongst other things I am currently right in the middle of getting divorced, dealing with missing my kids the days I will not have them and hanging out with the raddest chick ever. You read this blog so you probably have seen my moods and post go up and down over the last three years. Life is super fucking weird and the place you end up may not be the place you pictured for yourself or your kids. But life keeps on moving no matter what kind of shit you have made for yourself.  The kids are dealing pretty good I am super motivated to not waste any more time doing shit I don't want to do. And that goes across the boards. No more living lies and being a fucking asshole but trying to do the right thing despite the truth in a situation. Move forward people or die with your feet buried in shit. Big things indeed. In the time from my last post I have built an evo, sold an evo, bought a shovel, slammed an Ironhead together for a friend and moved into a house in midtown. So now is the time if you got a project half done or want a bike built up email me and lets get going.
Long Live the Anchor

Yes Yes

I'm still alive. Well barely I guess. Been stupid busy and taking trips then having to start a new job and build bikes. Ugh! Never fear since my last post I have built another Sportster and getting ready to sell it. 1989 883 Sportser set up like a street chopper thingy. Any takers can hit me up on the side bar. Or call at 816-694-3685. 3500 is the asking price. Enjoy some pictures of shit I love, shit I built and , some shit I took off, as well as shit I want. Ha

Heirlooms and BF6/Thanks Again WLP

Here we are again sitting and pounding some coffee. I am about to load my truck headed out to Born Free. Decided to haul the 883 out. Wait some of you might not have even seen it. I bought a 1989 883 Sportster about three weeks ago now. After I fixed all the broken shit on it I have only had it on the road about week with it being solid. So for the first time ever I am going on a vacation. The only plan I have is being at Born Free on Saturday. If you are there we can hang out I'll be the guy in Vans with a sweet beard. But seriously last time I was out there three years ago I met some way cool people so don't be scared. Count down till take off 5, 4 ,3 ,2 ,1.

When I'm Busy I'm Busy..........

Kinda been out of it the last two weeks. Sorry but by now if you haven't found my Instagram do so. Its Anchormoto. So here is the last two weeks in pictures. Been busy on customer stuff and tomorrow I go pick my tins up and another Ironhead to work on. Good times. Helped Tyler fix his Ironhead last week when his mechanical advance went Boom! Never in all my years seen a set go that bad and the bike still kinda ran. Got a 750 Honda I am throwing together for a club brother and I have Nick Reynolds Digger in for a new set of pipes. I did these real quick but Nick wants them going one out the left and one out the right. So the front pipe is gonna go out the left side and the rear goes out the right. Ill give it a go. I do like these over/under pipes though. On to the next week. Top 5 SaturdayTop 5 reason to Love/hate everything!

Number 1. It is the ying yang of the universe there is simply no way around it.

Number 2. I'll take motorcycles for example there are so many things I love about them and flip the coin and there are more things I hate about them.

Number 3. Some kind of love there some kind of Hate. I'm gonna tell you all about now. Misfits song says it all.

Number 4. Knuckle tattoo's . Seriously they fit perfect. You want to be tough then here is the answer. 

Number 5. There are some bands  out there that upon first listen I fucking hated with all my soul.Then many months or even years later I hear them again or in the background and I'm all like Huh what is this. Then I find out and they are my new favorite band till I wear it out then I hate it again.

So After.....

So after many many moons I have to report the Norton project is finally done. Like in the books I have rode it and it rips. Took it out to my favorite spot in the sticks and shot the pics of it next to the puffy clouds. I really had no idea it was gonna be so fast and punchy. I will say between a Triumph, Bsa, or Norton the Norton  will straight spank the others. So Russ the owner finally has his bike in his garage. Granted none of the extreme amount of time was do to me but the shop that built the motor did a shit job and really made the project take 2 years longer then it should have. Oh well and never ever use Baxter in Iowa for any kind of service work. EVER! Maybe one of the weirdest builds I've done but I feel more satisfaction with this one because it pushed me to think outside my little chopper worm hole I have stuck myself in. I'm right back in it now!
