Monday is here again...

I'll be out of town this week, but will be doing mobile updates from the woods. Gotta get out of the city for a minute.

Beat up, rusty Shovelhead...

Guy says, "I've got this old beat up, rusty Shovelhead if you want it. I've got no use for it, so come get it and it's free."

Found this...

And thought about buying it...I swear I can't just focus on one project. It's a 175, so it'd be fun as shit to putt around on.

Lucero...

It's good for the soul:

Slow posting...

Things have been slow around here...I've been covered up though. Shit'll get back on track after the first of December.

How'd that happen?

How did CCE go from making Randy Smith's badass rocker boxes to a fake magneto? What went wrong?

Monday...Ducatis...

Christmas is coming...

Have you made out your list?

Evel...

Tear shit up.

Want your mind blown?

Go listen to this nutjob make a guitar his bitch...

Everyone's seen this...

But I wanted to post it here...awesome.

I know they're cartoons, but...

This album still rules:

Happy Veteran's Day...

Thanks to all who've served.

One day...

I'd love to go out there for Speed Week.

More progress...

Pulled the jugs. One of the cylinders needed a base gasket pretty bad, but the hones look clean though.

Noggin warmers...

Yessir...

Trying to make Monday not suck...

This helps.

Hells yes...

Lion riding shotty...

Of course we've all seen the greatest pic of all time (the lion riding shotgun on the motordrome), but here is another I've never seen that my buddy showed me.

Been kinda sick...

But I wasn't going to miss High On Fire, Converge, Mastodon, and Dethklok last night. I forgot a camera though and took pics with my POS Blackberry.

You Think You're Hard?

Ride a rigid front end then.

Swine Flew???

Damn H1N1 vaccine had me feeling like hot vomit last night.

Unique Swingarms...

I always like seeing a swingarm that can sway me from thinking about hardtailing my Shovel.

Movember Proof...

Yeah, me and Easy shaved our shit. Go to the other Movember post and donate money, you cheap bastards. It's for a good cause.

Best Website In A While...

Happy Monday...

Went to the Barber Shop...

To nab some pics of the bald faces for Movember...me and Easy. We got there, but it wasn't open, so we just took pics outside.

Got into the '77 this weekend...

Redbuilding the oil pump, top ending it, re-ringing the pistons, putting in a Jim's oiling kit, splitting the rocker boxes, polishing the heads, maybe doing a port and polish and putting on a mag...a lot of work, but it'll be a badass when it's through.

The Great Misdirect...

Between The Buried and Me came out with their new album this week, titled The Great Misdirect. I've always been a fan of them, but this album is even better than a lot of their old stuff, in my opinion. If you've never heard them, the're progressive metal and the only way I can describe it is a mix between Fusion Jazz and Metalcore...more of the metal though.

Stolen Pic Mufuggin' Friday...

A couple I took from the Jockey Journal...both make me drool.

Pat Kennedy Rocker Boxes...

I'd trade a kidney for a set of these.

Movember...

Some buddies and I have started a team for Movember. Basically we're going to shave our faces bald and grow mustaches for the month of November, all the while raising money for prostate cancer and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Here is info about Movember:
http://us.movember.com/about/

Our team name is the Peach State Fuzz, and here is my personal page.

Feel free to donate, join our team, start your own, whatever...but remember, you get to grow a mustache and it's for a good cause. We'll all get together at the end of the month and have a little throw-down to commemorate it.

Another Bad Creation...

Not the shitty boy band group...Sid's (Jimmy's buddy) bike.

The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party...

This weekend in Jacksonville. I haven't gone since 2007, but here is a fine example of a Florida fan. That fat fold in his head has hair in it...he couldn't get to that shit with a razor.

Xian Leather...

Christian sent me these pics the other day of his experience with the FDNY on 9-11 of this year. I'm not much for the whole theme bike thing, but Christian's leather work is insane and he was more than happy to do this seat since he lives in New York. He said it was a pretty emotional experience for everyone there.

Look at that seat...it's like buttah.

Halloween...

Hell yes. I need to go get a pumpkin to carve. Here's one I did last year:

Slim's Garage...

John had met Jimmy and them down at Barber a couple of weeks ago. As ya'll know, I had a kid that weekend, so I couldn't go. Well, we ran into them at the Hell on Wheels show Satuday and he invited us back to the shop for more beer drinking. He's a nice as shit guy, but doesn't bother with the internet. I told him I was a total dork (and proved it a couple of times) and took pics around his shop for The BDAC. He didn't mind.

Cool old tank.

I wish I had a stack of cases like this.

MMMMM...Morris.

I know that if I get to the point that I'm okay with drinking High Life, I've had too many. That was the case this night too. I need to stop when the tall boys come out.

John's ugly ass.

Slim's '57 in an all '48 roller Pan. So nice.

I was drinking High Life because Eric is the one who made the beer run. He loves High Life.


This '69 was clean as a whistle.

Hell on Wheels...

500th post:

Saturday was Hell on Wheels. Shitty turn out, but altogether ended up being a fun day. We ran into Jimmy from Slim's Garage and his friends and went back to his shop for more beer afterwards.





A critter for the Haints...this was nasty.

What fun drinking at a brewery if you can't do the Laverne & Shirley?

Eric loves beer.


They have trike races with these things.

Ducati Hottie Monday...

Tomorrow...

We're gonna try and make it out for this. Come drink beer with us.

Stolen Pic Friday, son...

Stolen from T-Bone at (((NOISE))). He just posted it recently, but this bike is TOO badass. If you don't ever check out that blog, you should.

Just for using his pic, I'll order a velocity stack from him.

The old goat...

Rode her to work today. She's in kick-only mode right now, but she's agreeing with me which is great for my right leg. 96" with no compression releases will kick back like a mofo if you don't hit it just right.

Southern Cycle...

I went up there yesterday to get some stuff. They had this Panhead outside advertised for $9K. 52 motor, ratchet top trans, tin primary, swingarm frame, some modern parts. Pretty ugly, but it would be a start.

It got cold this weekend...

Enter the turbo propane heater.

Little Son of a Bitch...

Things like these make me want to make everything kick only. I replaced this yesterday and now I think the starter motor is shot. Fucking turds.

I've been dragging ass...

On bike posts the past couple of days. I was off and actually working on the Shovel and riding it.

Winter Months Toy...

A little wheeling and dealing and I got this for those days that it's too cold to be in the garage.

In need of...

A stock Harley inner primary for my '80 FXWG. The POS Taiwanese chrome piece on it won't work with my incredibly sweee-eeet tits new outer...there's a big ass gap when the starter shaft is all the way seated in the bearing.

email me...reply here...whatever.

Ducatis and hotties...

More dechroming...

I hit up the air cleaner, even though I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it and I started making a fork brace out of an old Wide Glide fender.

Got her down on the ground...

And it was dry today so I got to ride her too.

God that all sounded nasty.

Sammich...mmmm...

I go to a local shop called My Friend's Place for lunch regularly. I always opt for either the Triathlete or the Really Hot Roast Beef. Friday I went in, looked at the sandwich girl and said, "I want a Really Hot Triathlete." This is what she came up with. I told the owner Steve that it should be called "The Jarrod."

The Complete Led Zeppelin...

When I was a teenager and in need of weed money, I sold off a bunch of my classic rock CDs. With those CDs were my Led Zeppelin albums, which I've never replaced. Well, the other day I stumble across the boxed set on iTunes. 165 songs for $99.99...every album they'd recorded. I bought the hell out of it. They also have it in tangible form for a little bit more money.

Stolt ass pic Friday...

I've posted this from another angle before. I love the look of this.

RIP Buell...

Story here.

This won't be the end...

Taking advantage of the day off...

...and finishing up on that primary cover. Sanding and steel wooling left in these pics, but I already finished that. I'll pull the starter shaft needle bearing and toss in a new one tomorrow, then it's done.
