The Harley's are coming...


The predictions are coming true. I beleive it was Du Keeps who predicted that within the next 5-10 yrs we'd see a flood of Harley's hitting the second hand market on account of the Boomers realizing they wernt bikers after all (couldn't happen soon enough if you ask me). This year I beleive we've seen the beginning of this trend. Although it hasn't started with EVO's yet, I have seen an unusual amount of ironheads hitting the market for great prices. I know I know not the best engine HD ever made, but a close relation to the Shovel, they have a great look and are well suited for choppin and bobbin. And for $3000 it get's awful tempting to take a crack at one. http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=156074253&ImageIndex=2

That rake rocker thing we were talking about

hey ninja I think (not that this bike is a great example) that little rocker piece of the springer front ends is there and sits so far back on the wheel, and puts the "round" of the wheel ina position where it can actually bounce over the bumps as opposed to like, shock forks that when they are that raked only compress when you use the front brake..... any on e can correct my theory....

less random less rad


C'mon, its mick on a honda. And a 350/4 to beat shit. Just hadda be here. Hey, fit was good enough for born loser......

Random Radness






Ok, I'm sure we all saw it there but it's just so kikass it needs to be permanent posted for posterity purposes. Anyone got 2000bux+ electrical parts? Hey ninja, aren't you some kind of expert at charging issues now?

CCM Cobra Mustang

Had a chance to put the CCM together tonight. I'm pretty sure it's a '69 CCM Mustang Cobra (came before the three speed Mustangs of the '70's). If anyone can verify please do. Man, I wish motorcycles went together this fast...


Painted the rims and spokes, stripped the frame, new tires (rear says K-RAD on it) Painted the frame with some metal flake from Walkers. Might need a GLOSSY clear coat yet, but the matte orange with the gloss black is kinda nice too.


'60's style pic for fun.


Before: Came in a box. I had some oem and some pixie girl bmx parts. This is as close to a bike as I could make at first.

CCM project is outta the trunk

Sanded and primed the CCM. Polished the chrome bits and painted the rims and chainguard black. I pick up a copper metal flake paint from Walkers on Monday. I think it's gonna be a sweet looking ride for the boy someday. Stay tuned for the painted pony. Check out the before pics here.

Barn Bikes of the sastards

K ninja ! U asked for it, choo got it! About half of the barnsworth. The other half may be legitimate junk, but heres a few areas of interest. The post may be need a second edition sometime with actual good pics and comments from Sastard Sr.





Sr.'s pre 1940 Norton 16-H. Hard tail, spring set, rad thumper. Over bore kit. Cruises nice at about 45 mph. Whallopping 12 hp. just kidding, i really have no idea.

Fun little yammy with timing or points issues or something. Its actually mom's bike. Some people don't get the bug. Real fun to ride in town though. Unless you were hoping for power. Which you dont need for fun. Hell even a moped is fun. Tandem twin. A bit heavy for scrumptious yet this summer. maybe next year.

My honda cm400t i fuckin crashed. Poor old bastard! Deserves better. So the lump will be removed and remounted.....
Here! In this frankenportshondaster. Gak! look at all that height that I'm going to have to get rid of. I want to reposition and remount the short shocks from the doner bike. that should shave a few inches off. If i can spring that sporty seat i'll put struts on instead of shocks and that'll help. Hoping to kind of get that skinny look for it. Lowered front, no rake, i'm positive im going to toss those gauges I bought twice now. Maybe one of those magnetic bicycle speedos. Plan on taking the grinder to that rear metal, i think its called sub-frame behind the curve where the shocks are mounted, and ideally get a fender welded to the swingarm. And dad wanted to put that little mill in a feather bed frame. Hmmm... actually............

potential tail light for the honda project. i have 2 front fenders. one should become a rear and wear this little red hat.My brothers can-am 250. 79 or something. needs minimal work but parts are scarce. I only rode it once. It wheelies like a motherfucker.

Some bird shit on dads 16-h
Indian dirt bike. Had a fuji motor or something. it went into a little chaparral bike. That little bike spent so much time in the air it never even needed tires. It might have had a short life.....
