Tuesday Bored Day....

Going to really start pushing the bike show stuff soon. I will say sorry now and probably won't say it again. It will be coming up fast. So enjoy the random stuff.

Favorite Old Dude, Sonny Rogers

  Not many people would disagree with me when I say Sonny is a KC legend. He has been around hot rods and sickles since the 60's. Went out to his place this morning to look at a flathead he has for sale. About shit myself at the wall of vintage plaques hes got hanging up. Then he went and showed me about 50 more he can't fit. So we start talking chopper shit and he goes in this little cabinet and starts pulling out all his old chopper parts he never got rid of. Needless to say I was stoked. Brand new Triumph petcocks, 2 new lucas taillights and a bunch of other stuff all coming home with me. Here is a pick of him with my boy and the article from Roths Chopper Magazine. Sonny's shotgun bike was in it. Fucker had a double barrel shotgun that worked built into the sissybar. Crazy mother for sure. I bet all those guys from Cali about shit at that. It was like the old west still. He also ran all of Ray Farners WOW shows for years in KC. You should see his shop it is full of cool hot rod shit. When I go back to pick up all my stuff I will post a part 2 to this story.

Get Your Grill In Order/ Top 5 Saturday

One of my favorite parts on a motorcycle is the front wheel. In most cases it says stuff like hi nice to meet you, or if it is ugly it says hi I am a piece of shit. So here are 5 cool and looking good front ends. Spool wheels obviously look the cleanest but if you want a front brake there are some very bitchin wheels out there. Of course the forks play a important part in all of this. I have been stuck on using 39mm sportster front ends just because they are cheap and work good. But I have been looking for a Cerrani and right now my Ironhead has a RD350 front end that I built up years ago. They work great I just had to rework the pre-load with some spacers. An Ironhead weighs a lot more then RD350. Research and destroy. If you haven't checked out my Instagram just go and type in Anchormoto. Trying not to get sucked in but it has been a great time waster so far. Ugh

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.
