Drink it dry

UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO THE WINTERY GRIP OF DEATH.

Some hep cats coming in from Winnipeg in a couple weeks so we thought it was a good opportunity to drink beer (like we needed another excuse). You should come help.

Shovel luv

Putting some time into the shovel. Rebuilt the oil pump, finally! And I reapplied the tank badges that have never really been straight. Also did a little rewiring just to clean things up a bit. Gotta get her all tickityboo cuz she's currently my only bike. That's a little scary but also awesome.

Taking spring by force


Elliott and I dug the Mule out of about a thousand pounds of snow on the weekend. It took some muscle and ambition to get it freed from it's icy bear cave (four flat tires made sure of that. I let it thaw in the sun for the morning, but couldn't resist a little run to the beer store today just to test'er out.

With no plates, at a time when I should really have been at work, and on my way home from the beer store with a 2-6 of whiskey and a case of beer riding shotgun, it was only natural that someone had to bust me. I'm just glad it was Dirk and not the po po.

Candy paint

I had to match the base color on Brian's vintage tank and it ended up being a candy. A metallic gold base with 4 coats of transparent red over top. And then eggshell clear to finish it off! It was a lot of fun trying to get enough color on the frame tubes.. Keep an eye on the fiftys haze blog to see this project progress..

Joe King is the King

Chances are if you've seen a 3/4 helmet in the past couple years and said, that thing is the sweetest little lid I've ever seen, it was likely a Joe King Speed Shop creation. Paulo has been hand making these lids literally from scratch for a number of years now and pretty much rules the market. No one makes a higher quality head hugging mini lid than Paulo. Today mine showed up in the mail and I AM STOKED. the craftsmanship is incredible. Definitely the most comfortable helmet I've EVER worn. It kinda feels like boobs on your ears. Amazing.

Thanks again Paulo. See you at Born Free.
