Good-bye Aqua Lung

Many people have never asked how I got a aqua colored motorcycle but I'm gonna tell you anyways. Many many many moons ago i bought this gem off of my painter Bert, well actually it was a three way trade and I dished out some cash and helped a friend in need and I ended up with the bike.
One night in the shop me and my dad were sitting around and drinking a few (which means alot of BEAST LIGHT) and decided to start cutting up the Ironhead, we cut the rear fender, made new bars, put the peace sign tail light on. Then me and Dave-o got the bike mechanically sound.
Her maiden journey was the Revenge Run last year. I wasnt able to get off work so i shot up to Cedar Point to meet everyone off the ferry. Well I was a bit late and was cresting the last bridge only to see this huge pack of bikes. Well when I got turned around and met everybody at the gas station everybody was loving the Aqua machine.

She made it to the Smoke Out where beautiful almost naked women fell in love with her.
Me and Dave-o decided to make pipes because we both hate the stock drag pipes for Ironheads that everybody has.
She was a life line for me and Dave-o when his Shovel was down and needed and ride.


Well I sold her and that was the meaning behind this post, she is going to a good home and she is kinda still in the family so.

Good-Bye Aqua Lung

Planning and Organizing

So we have been busy in the shop working on our bikes, basically my Panhead trans is tore down doing a rebuild along with rebuilding the front end and jockey shifting. Dave-o's Shovelhead is down with the head off getting the head fix he was losing compression past the spark plug, Nate's sporty is down cause he was doing rolling burn-outs showing off for the neighborhood kids and snapped the belt, Jason's Ironhead is down and I'm not really sure why but Dave-o says it is, and Chip's Panhead is getting a motor rebuild and he waiting on his tins from paint. The funny thing is that each one of these bikes is scheduled to be on the Revenge Run. So basically we have to kick it up a notch and finish these projects. So sorry for the limited posting.

Nice Shovel


Daytona


Found this old pic from Daytona a few years ago, who knew XXSpeed could pull off the Hawaiian shirt look. That was a good trip tho I buzzed down from ATL on my 68 Bonnie with Troll on his Panhead.

Big thanks to friends

Kyle came through and saved my life by welding up my invader rim
Chip hooked me up with a shifter arm


I've had for a while this shift skull, the panhead is coming together thanks to Dave-o and Kyle, and I'm having great luck finding parts too.
