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.

Engine is out..

You can tell this thing has been in a barn for 10 years... Looking forward to cleaning this guy up.

How many bands owe these guys royalties?!?

And it begins...

Started on the Iron, this is our first build so we are taking it realllll slow.

We got our build bikes..

So I found this 73 Ironhead in a barn in the middle of nowhere, after haggling with the dude i picked ip up for 2 grand. Runs ok but has all the same issues any 73 Iron would have, clutch leaks and general little quirks.
The plan for this bad boy is chop it up, pretty much rebuild the whole engine and make it rad.

And Kristen scored this XS for 2200. Other than a carb issue this bike is ready to roll. We will be taking this apart as well changing a bunch of stuff and make it to the "show parking" lot at BF4.

So we got a garage...

So after the born free show, Kristen and I were so inspired by what we saw we set out to find a little shop and build our own bikes to ride down next year.
Turned out Whitey has a hook up with this space right in the city and wanted next to nothing for it..
Let the fun begin...

Our Born Free ride video is here!!

So we took about 800 pictures and around 3 hours of video and condensed a 9 day, 3200 mile ride into a sweet little 3 minute video... hope you enjoy :-)

Another "motivator"...

Heading home..

2 day ride home....

Irvine to Stockton - 13 hours
Stockton - Port Angeles - 16 hours (4 of those in the dark in pouring rain)
The trip ruled!

You can't not dig this one..
