Need some new Gear

Some new boots, jacket, and helmet are in order. I've been looking for these this past year, reading reviews and what-not and I finally came to a decision on all three. I'm starting a trend here so pay attention, hipsters:


O'neal ATV shorty boots($99), Executioner armored leather jacket ($119),
and a fullface AGV S-4 helmet ($130).

Solid Dudes

I snapped this shot at the Old Gold Garage Party last month. Each of these guys brings a unique style and passion which commands respect and admiration. Support these RULERS:

Sneak peek at my Family Jewels....

Problem:  Broken tail-light/tag bracket. Ford repop was heavy and the vibration sheared it off (pictured below)

Solution:  Build another one from a Biltwell flared exhaust tip, an LED from ebay, and trick ruby jeweled glass. This one will mount on the upper shock mount and will have two mounting points instead of one. The light housing is adjustable in order to shoot laser beams at unsuspecting tailgaters. I will be making more so if you want one, let ME know.

Buncha Bitches...

...in California. I should know; I see them every day. Someone please hack this site:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Signs SB 435 Into Law

  The California State Government has passed SB 435 that aims to increase enforcement of current anti-tampering and noise-level statutes for motorcycles.

  The ear-splitting roar of illegally modified motorcycles will be quieted despite opposition from motorcycle rights groups that have lobbied to weaken the legislation. The bill was sponsored by Senator Fran Pavley (D-Santa Monica) and signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who rides motorcycles.

  SB 435 would require that motorcycles maintain their federally required emissions equipment (on both original, and aftermarket exhaust systems), including a readily visible EPA stamp certifying compliance. These regulations have been on the books since 1983. This gives law enforcement the ability to cite violations under the CA Vehicle Code, using a readily visible and unalterable stamp, already required by Federal regulation.

  A violation will be cited as a secondary infraction, meaning the rider would have to be pulled over for some other reason initially. A first offense will be punishable by a fine of up to $100 but that can be dismissed upon proof of correction. Any subsequent offense(s) will be punishable by a fine of up to $250. This bill will apply to motorcycles and aftermarket parts going forward from 2013.

Tatuesday

El Camino Swap a few weeks back...

This Saturday... Suckas

Tatatatatuesday

I'm alot cooler now, trust me

Works like charm and fits the frame rails like it was meant to be there.  Do what ya gotta do with what God and Ebay gave ya.

Long, long time ago...

That was my grandfather on the left. He sold John Deere tractors in Costa Rica. A true hustler.

I'll make it my damn self

As you may know I don't spend a dime on shit I can make myself. Take for instance this baffle I machined from some spare aluminum tubing. I turned a step to make it appear to be floating in the pipe, and I added a screen for a little more back pressure. RRRRRRIPPPPPPPPPPP.

Thruxton Speed Holes

Sprocket Cover: I bored these holes for my friend Terry's Triumph in order to gain 50hp, increase top speed to 250mph, and to help him with the ladies. I made sure the center hole is concentric with his sprocket. Check out his blog The Glass Boot and learn something useful for once in your life.

Meet Bubba

He chews fuckin everything, including my new FMA shirt. I taught him how to swim for that one. Now I get home and he's doing backstrokes in my pool.

Not so cool now !!

This guy thought he had the raddest tattoo...until he went to prison.

Ultimate Roadtrip

This guy knows what he wants and how to get it there. I snapped this  yesterday on my way home. Towing a kayak, a cooler on the other side and plenty of storage, he was still zipping through traffic. Judging by the smile on this dude's face it could either have been the start of an epic adventure or the glorious end to a great weekend.

Smooth Operator

I met this cool cat Sander over on KZrider and he wanted me to make him some velocity stacks for his Mikuni 29mm smoothbore carb set. Not your everyday streetbike, his no nonsense KZ is punched out to 1075cc with all the goodies, including web cams, ported & polished Larry Cavanaugh head, AIRTECH fiberglass and so much more. I made him two sizes which  after dyno testing will prove which set will give the most bang. Check out his ride....badass. 

Almost Forgot...so here's a RedHead for ya

Who wants it?

I made this friendly stamp for the baddest leatherworker I know, Duane Ballard. Get your seat done and a matching tool roll or a spiffy new wallet today!!!

Just the thing for Outlaws and Speed Demons

How about a BRASS KNUCKLE pull start lever for your solenoid-mounted starter switch?
Or an aluminum fork brace for your Narrow Glide canyon carver?

Enjoy Tatuesday while I catch up on work...

It's HOT so....

I've been meaning to install an oil cooler on my whip and I finally made some time this week to make the rear fitting. Parts bought include a left side oil cooler from a BMW r12 or something like that, an 18mm banjo-fitting from a Lexus turbo intercooler and some AN-6 fittings to connect to some 3/8 braided hose and I'm in biznass.
