Everything Two Wheels

Walk your dog...........

Amsterdam Breakfast

Touched down in Amsterdam. Time is 0940 and I start my Europe tour with a proper local breakfast.

Buy it, Ride it, Love it.......

My buddy Temecula Terry from Alhambra is selling his beloved Thruxton, so cash out that sorry 401K you've been losing money on for the last 5 years and put a smile back on your face. I rewired this bike myself and must say it is the cleanest Thruxies I've ever seen. Handmade gas tank, Bultaco type fairing, racing suspension, custom mods all over the place make this baby a badass canyon carver and overall head turner. Contact this crazy beer-chugging, knife-throwing, shit-talking mother fucker at BEERBOOTERS@GMAIL.COM

Long Beach Swapppp....

Picked up some neat lil bits & pieces for a top-secret project and snapped some pics of some bikes in the corral. The Raiders didn't make the playoffs but did make it to the swap.

On the Ground

Finally off of the lift. Just in time as my HF lift decided to take a shit and leak everywhere... Hanging wires will be cleaned up tomorrow.

This Thing Is Tough...

Progress

1200 kit is here!

Fork boots, highlighted heads, and improved front brake caliper. Not much done today.

Love on two wheels

Progress

The front end got a major upgrade by my friend Eddie at MBR (Munoz Brothers Racing) with Race Tech springs and emulators. Eddie works part time for Race Tech of Corona and runs MBR out of his garage, so if you want killer deal on suspension work from an honest guy, drop me a message and I'll provide you with his point of contact. Can't wait to try these babies out!

On top of the fork upgrade, the front now sports Speed Merchant's fork adjusters and a SS brake line guide made by BCM.

I should receive all the parts needed to complete the front end tomorrow. Can't wait!

Pawn Stars

Our friends from Temecula is taking over the History Channel.

Sunday Cleaning

After two days of stripping the powder coat, cutting, grinding, filing, sanding, and scotch-briting, the legs are free of all casting marks and sharp edges. The tabs are here to stay since I run a front brake and a fork brace. The top tree also got some attention and is now missing the headlight bucket tabs. Tedious and time consuming but well worth it in the end.

I should be picking up some parts from the powder coater tomorrow, so the Sporty should be put together by Friday. Until then, I will be giving the same treatment to other parts that needs some loving, including these riser bottoms to match this bad-ass Biltwell top clamp.

Late Christmas

Just got these today for the makeover. Thanks, guys!

Making Changes for the New Year

Tore the bike down to make some major changes. First, everything will be re-powder coated including the wheels. Then the forks and shocks will be rebuilt, and lastly the 1200 conversion.

And the #1 product of 2011 is.................

The Witchfinder by no other than Brandon Caquillo of Mullins Chain Drive.

  Jay from Special '79  is one of my favorite fabricators because he not only makes rad shit, he shows you how he did it with his detailed pics and videos on his very own Youtube channel. Everybody makes bars these days, but Jay just makes them better with original style and excellent craftsmanship.

Boots are a very important part of motorcycling and quality is key as is where they are made. I bought these Justin Jmax boots for myself for Christmas from a little online store that not only offers free shipping but will pay for shipping back should you get the wrong size or don't like them for whatever reason and ship the right ones back to you. Ya Heard Right!!! They are www.americanmadeworkboots.com and from the name, it sounds like they only sell American-made boots. Trip out...I did...

PANGEASPEED: Everything Andy makes is a work of art. His talent is way beyond his years and I am always blown away every time I see one of his bikes. One of my favorite items is his cast points cover. It takes me from the bronze age to the age of CNC lasers in a blink of an eye. Check it out...

  Simple is always better and Jesse Basset over at Gasbox shows this with a totally rad and simple rear fender bracket made from cast steel in Ohio.
