Mr. White Lightning himself sends this little beauty to us. My passions for old bikes usually extends only as far back as the '30's, but in this case I will make an exception. Check out this old beauty of a bird. Gas lit lanterns, leather choke valve, lever clutch and it sounds...like a harley. Don't know how they've managed to make a bike sound the same for that long. beautiful. So neat. Good commentary. Thanks Pete.

workin on something

Brief hope

Had a brief moment of hope when I got these raked neck cups and thought I'd found a solution for returning my ride to the rake I dreamed of with the adjustable trees. But alas, the bottom one is not gonna fit my neck. Booo

The hard way

Billy popped over to the tiny garage las night to pull a tire off his accord with my spoons. After breaking the bead with a jack and the Biscayne we finally pulled the rim free. We cleaned up the edges with a drill and a wire wheel to get a clean seating and muscled the new tire on. As we began to fill'er up we heard the satisfying *pUNg* of one sides bead setting...then hssssss. Turned out after all that there was a hole in the side wall. Billy rode home on the donut. Anyway. Good excuse for a night in the shed I guess.

Cole is the bomb

Cole undid all my prep work to get the job done right. Pulled the dents from my tins properly and is now painting . Thanks buddy, you are the shit!!

Off to E town for some chrome action.

So the local guy here in stoon basically said that he won't even look at my stuff until he gets caught up with the orders he has right now. When I asked him when that would be his response was....I don't know. So thanks for nothing I guess. Anyway phoned the guys at supreme plating in Edmonton and they said no problem having it all done in 2 weeks. So off all the turds went to become shiny turds.
