Cannonball Run 2012

It has nothing to do with choppers but everything to do with kool.  My buddy Doug from Alabama is riding his Indian Scout this year, good luck man.

Another Lucky Guy

My buddy Potter got a sweet deal and landed this Panhead in his garage. 

Cigar Box Guitars

My buddy Tye Dye Joe is making these sick ass guitars out of Cigar boxes.  Creative minds are awesome.

2 Plans

Number 1 this weekend in jacksonville we are having our big BBQ so make plans to attend that, Friday night pre party, Saturday night is the big shin dig, Sunday is the hangover ride come join us.  An on-site photographer will be there to take family photo pics in your best chopper shirts.

Born Free 5 is a go.  Me and Dave-o are pinching pennies already for our cross country ride to Born Free.  Our rear wheels will start in the Atlantic and our front wheels will hit the Pacific.

The reason I Am The way I Am

A Good weekend

 Me and dave made the lift more reliable

 Found the wiring gremlins in Chip's shovel.

 And watched these to old guys fuck up new paint.

 If you wear shorter shorts than we approve then you get short additions.

 Did a little regular maintinance to my trusty rusty bike.

And all the bikes got baths

Adjustments

 Dave-o finish welded his bars.

And had to add an inch to the center of the rear fender so it fits the tire better.  We just got alot going on and the rain has hindered our progress.  I think it has rained a week straight here.

Chip's Re-Do

Chip has been the traveling man this summer but he is back in America and is getting back into the swing of things.  But his Panhead is in need of a makeover due to a wreck that did some damage to the bike, and mainly more damage to Chip's pride.  Can't wait to this bike finished.  but these are the before pics.

Randomness

 It's been super hot so I been spending some time at the beach catching fish and rays of sunlight.

 Teaching the kids to play cornhole

 Panheads at the HD museum

 pickled eggs and pickles

 We got stickers in Japan

 Not sure if Chip caught this massive thing or the chick did.

One of the Koolest belt buckles ever hopefully enroute to my hands.

2 Bikes

Its been busy in the shop as of late cause we have 2 bike builds going on at one time along with me doing regular maintinance to my Panhead. 

The Gift

Bobbi brought this kool print over to us last night, it fucking rules!!!!!!

Rollin's Helmet

 Billy from HellMutts relined this helmet and did a bitching job I must say. 

Handlebars

We started on a set of handlebars last night for Dave-o's Knuckle, they turned out really good we just have to slug them and finalize weld them.

Dave-o welded the hinge back into the center of his fender too.

The Weekend

 So we had this killer magazine release party, that was an awesome time, we took the jukebox over, and literally the whole bar and made some of the regulars think what in the hell is going on.  Well my dumb ass didnt get one pic at the bar because I was socializing and playing music on the jukebox and losing pool games with Madi.

 So we brought the party back to the shop and me oh my, what a time.  Billy rode with Dave-o at warp speed home, and the fun continued with stories and nachos which we devoured. 

 Tim brought Dave-o some goodies for his Knuckle project so they immediately went on the bike.

 Monday when we finally recovered, did some work in the shop I think me busting dave-o's balls about building a full tilt bike has finally paid off.

Took 2 inches out of the center of this hinged fender, its gonna be PIMP.

He has to put the hinged part back in, but it will look good.

 Indy Bill came over and started assembly on his FX-Gay-R which is a crazy 9 foot long, but he has ridden the hell out of it with over 200,000 miles on the bike, he re-manned the motor and freshened everything up.

 Dave-o is making the template for his seat pan for a King and Queen seat

All it was missing was the original idea, to run the Invader on the rear
