Progress!!!......

(Sort of...) Was out at Sr.'s today so me, him and sonnyboy rolled the little twin project into the shop and bust out the grinder. There were two metal bars welded onto the frame so the p.o. could run a suzuki seat on the honda bike. Because it was free-er that replacing the missing original I would assume. Those two bars were preventing me from removing the stock airbox and throwing it out. I managed to grind one off before real life kicked (me) in (the nuts). But it falls under the category of better than nothing, b/c now i'm more motivated. Plus once you've had a grinder on it its officially a "chopper project" right?

The Fringes of Born Free

Found these shots on my phone from the streets leading up to the show.
Most of this shit wasn't even entered to win. This is just what the
BFII crowd rolled up on.

new bike mock up?




why does this bike look waaaayyyy long? oh ya my last bike was waaaaayyyyy short. its going to have a wheel base of 58". has ground clearence of 4.25".I think the tanks suits it. probaly going to have high pipes, short sissy bar. i would really love to get my hands on a car tire for the back, somthing really beefy like a drag bike. Anyway any comments?

Shit I loved at Born Free II

Okay so I shot over 200 shots at born free II but I'm only gonna post a few cuz damn...
The amount of cool shit I didn't shoot probably out-weighs all the cool shit I've ever shot. Bike shows around here usually show 2 or three bikes that really make you smile. the rest is new school OCC ball sweat. Sooo this was off the hook. And I don't use gay terms like "off the hook" unless that shit was unreal enough to make me loose my fucking mind.

Favorite shot:
Love this pic below. The bike in the foreground won "most way out". Great category, beautiful bike.

This is gonna take a while...sweet.

Sounding the trumpets:
Turns out I love fucking Triumphs. I mean I knew I loved Trumps, but man. Seems I really love 'em cuz damn did I end up with a lot of favorites from the British Isles.



Here's a piece of Canadian Honda Bacon I've shown before as inspiration for Billy Sastard's 400, but this time with new paint.


A lot of the shit I dugg-on was bit's and bob's. Paint, tanks, sissy bars, all those accents that make a machine personal.

Celeb's:
I'm gonna keep most of my "celebrity sighting" photos to myself outta shame, couldn't be helped. but to all those bikers and bloggers who inspire me on a daily basis...I have your picture and yeah you can be certain that shit's creepy. I will however share this one with you, because I think it's a badass shot of a badass builder. respect.



Winner's got just what was comin' to them and at times, just a little lick more.

Great fuckin show! Amazing that I got a chance to be there. Pretty lucky boy for sure. Heading back to my rental car I caught this beauty that really cherried my day. Probably the sweetest 650 I've seen. period.
