Shocked

Shock towers are done. Now I go to Montreal for my brothers bachelor party.... Lots of work awaits on the other side....

Time warp

Pictures don't let you express the crazy amount of hours I've got in this thing.

Fixin still

Who has time for anything but work??

Rust for days

It's been an uphill battle fixing these rusty bits. Finishing what I started. Here's the dig on one side. The fill to follow.

Pants Off

Dance Off!

Greendoor Greenbacks

There is this little show in Eyota every year & we always make it over there to just totally raise hell.  Between myself, Mikey & Joe we have won the burnout competition 4 years running. It's hard to beat those upswept pipes blowing the smoke up in the air, 5th gear, 120mph. Yeah it's LOUD!





Old timer wisdom

Pulled up behind an old guy riding a sweet FX shovel. He was wearing a pair of these without socks. He says to me,"When they run good, they run good. When they run like shit, they run like shit." Old shovelheads.. GOTTA LOVE THEM.

I have been going to this show for the last 3 years and it never disappoints. You won't find a more diverse motorcycle show or people show. I think its awesome that both can be so different and I appreciate them all for what they are...still talking bikes and people!

Everything from choppers, stock restorations, brits, homebuilt death traps, moped gangs, its all there. The highlight of the show for me was seeing Jordan Dickinson's bike he built for Born Free 5. It is probably one of the nicest bikes from a point of fabrication and simplicity that I have seen. I got to catch up with Jordan for about an hour and just stared at the bike for another half hour. Pics do it no justice at all, hope everyone gets to see it.

The Yamaha ran great but snapped an exhaust mount on that shitty section of highway 61 from miesville to red wing. I can do just shy of 40 miles to a tank and can hold about .7 of a gallon.

Just when I think I can sell it, I find myself loving it even more. Its a keeper it looks like.

Lets Party!!



















We Boogied Full Tilt to St Paul yesterday & just had an absolute blast! I was really excited to see some of the areas latest builds & catch up with people I haven't seen in months. Joe's Knuckle won an award which was really cool. We had a lot of smiles & laughs. The bikes ran awesome, & we all made it home safe, which when I think back on it sometimes, seems to really be a miracle in itself. 
You should have seen it, heard it, smelt it, felt it! Fun Times. Full Tilt 2013
