A little time away from the bikes...

Is there any better way to spend an afternoon? Ok I can think of a couple too...

One down..

First attempt...

Got a couple new benches in

Spent the afternoon putting in a couple benches, better height, more work space... stoked

Getting ready for a shave

Pulled the forks on the Iron, all I got is a bandsaw, file and sandpaper... Here goes nothin

XS Engine out

Pulled out the engine on the XS today, gonna clean it up a bit and install a boyer ignition

Jonesin' for spring.... or any good weather

Watching old videos, reading blogs, wrenching on our bikes.... Just looking forward to spring to light up the bikes and get back out there... Winter sucks.

Movie Monday: Angels Hard as They Come

Angels Hard as They Come is a melange of sex, violence, leather, and souped-up Harleys... aka just another sweet old school biker flick... enjoy..

FTW II

If you're in the Victoria Canada neck of the woods and enjoy yourself some bikes, broads and beer with a dash of angry loud music....

All primed up and waitin for the black

Got the frame of the xs primed, this pic looks like a scene from Saw or something but it worked out really well. Kristen is going with a gloss black for the frame, battery box and wiring "oil tank". Should be hitting it this week, also putting in a order at 650central so the parts will be coming in as we get her back together... stay tuned, shit is gonna come together pretty quick.

Heard around the shop today...

To springer or not to springer...

Picked up this springer this week, now trying to decide whether i want to run it on this build. It looks awesome, just needs a bit of elbow grease to make her shine.

This is my kind of graveyard

Avi and I took the hour long rain filled drive up to check out this shop Re Cycle.  Talked to the dudes there, super helpful, lots of cool old parts and manged to snag a wiring harness for the ironhead.

Oh yeah, also picked up a sweet 4 over springer... pics to come

Play it loud or don't play it at all...

Back to the Iron...

Got the tires and wheels back from getting mounted... finally starting to come together, will be putting the bars on tomorrow and then its time to get that fender mounted... Liking the looks of 2012 so far

It's gonna be a good year..

The little garage we started up a few months back is really starting to take shape. The bikes we are building (our first attempts) are coming along nicely and with any luck will be pissing off the neighbors pretty soon... Stay tuned..

Happy New Year....

Looking forward to another great year... Lots of cool rides, more bike builds and Born Free 4!!

Got the engine out..

Kristen and I got the engine out of the xs today, got her up on the bench ready for a sweet polish. Gonna make that rats nest of wiring in the ammo box make a little more sense too.. Also on the frame, gonna remove all the crap paint, clean up some ugly welds and get her all nice and glossy.... 

Ps sorry for the shit iphone pics

If this doesn't inspire you to get back in the shop...

Amazing looking teaser trailer... Cannot wait for some good weather....

Cash rules everything around me...

It's a one of a kind something....

This is one of those times where you can either go "why the fuck?!?" or "what the fuck?!?".... I'll go with why bother...

Sounds good loud..

Seat is back and it looks sick

Joel from the upholdery knocked it out of the park with this one. Leather is good, foam is great and it's looks speak for itself..
Thanks Joel

All I want for Christmas, is you....

Looking to add to my collection with this beauty.  Been watching Hell on Wheels and loving the old cowboy action guns...

Love the fuzz... Wait, what?

Cardboard Queen..

Josh came out to the shop to mock up Kristens seat... Me thinks it's gonna look sweet.

Movie Moday: CC & Company

C.C. Ryder (Joe Namath) is a biker who rescues Ann McCalley (Ann-Margret) from a rape attempt by a gang of malevolent hippies. Nuff' said...

6over teaser.. Looks sweet

We're in...

Born free 3... The unseen shit

Had a little free time and decided to put together another take on our trip with clips from the cutting room floor.

Movie Monday: Hells Angels 69

Classic biker movie with actual members of Hells Angels.
Two yuppies pose as bikers and use the hells angels to create a diversion so that they can rob a casino cash room in Las Vegas. The Angels catch on to the caper and get their revenge.

September gone...

Not much going on at the moment, took 3 weeks off for a little European tour.

Saw these guys in '88... Rulin'

New tires and wheels are in..

Going with a 16" rear and a 21" front. First time lacing wheels... other than being a bit tedious it's pretty straight forward. Stoked to get these tires mounted.

The shop is slowly bringing these guys to life

Everyone seems to be bogged down with work, life etc.. But make no mistake these bikes will be rolling by spring...

Thanks Lowbrow!

More stuff arriving for the Iron.. Stoked!

We got a parts washer..

Love this thing...

Coming together

Got the hard tail set, Built some slugs, fish mouthed the ends to get it right tight to the down tube, put a couple old tires on and like the line... Now I just gotta go borrow a welder.

Chop Socky

Got the frame out, our hard tail from old-stf showed up so now we are just lining it up,  a couple little adjustments and we'll hit it.
