Flat Tracking...

Gotta love A XR 750!

Seat on...

A couple of preview pics. The seat is on...too bad the motor is getting ready to come out for a minute. Gotta correct a mistake. Hopefully be good and roadworthy by the Ride For Lightning.

Hurry up Cables...

So me and the boys threw the motor in the dyna this weekend. I finished most everything yesterday, just waiting on throttle cables and a Throttle collar. Got a bad itch that needs scratching. Nine weeks is way to long. but hopefully this thing runs like a MOFO. Shakedown this weekend and the next and to work everyday in between. Should be ready for RFL. Can't wait!

3.5 Gallon left side tank...

Looking for one...anyone have a decent one they want to part with? I don't want anything that's been fuggered, brazed to death or beaten senseless.

Hourglass...

Definitely one of the cooler things I've seen. A Lamb of God boxed set on USB drives. Hourglass is their anthology and available in a variety of sets. Too cool.

Finally....

Tonight at 10:30 if you have HBO watch it you will laugh your ass off.

Grayson Beer Festival...

Apparently plans for tomorrow have changed so we might ride out to this Grayson Beer Festival and see what's going on. It's from noon-4pm tomorrow.

Stolen Johnny Chop pic Friday...

I remember when this came out in Easy Rider the same month he died. I lusted over this bike (the model was hot too) and how simple and cool it was, but still had plenty of class. I didn't add it to my top ten, but this should've been in there. I completely forgot about it.

Sweep the leg, Johnny!!!

...or punch her in the cooch. Whatever works for you.

Harman Front Ends...

I still have dreams of owning one. Juice told me that he was bidding on a Dick Allen front end the other day...I wonder if he won it.

Ya'll better be here...

Metal Swim...

The folks at Adult Swim on Cartoon Network have so much fun with Dethklok, Metalocalypse, Mastodon's spot on the ATHF movie soundtrack and other metal wonderment, that they decided to make an album called Metal Swim available for free download on their website. Bands include some of my favorites like Isis and Pelican, as well as acts like Zoroaster and Kylesa. You can download it by clicking on ADULT SWIM METAL ALBUM.

Timebomb Tuesday...

I had another song in mind, but on the way home from work the ole IPod decided to play this. If you don't like Lucero there is something wrong with you and you might wanna have your head evaluated. Cheers!

Lil Joe's...

With the Ride For Lightning coming up I decided that I wanted something to keep my torso warm without having to worry about wearing a leather or textile jacket. If you haven't seen the weather, there's a bit of a heat wave down south and it was 93 degrees here yesterday. There's no telling how long that'll last, so in preparation I thought I'd just go ahead and order one of these Lil Joe's Black Magic Denim vests. I would of ordered a leather one, but this is a little cheaper, less dense and less Sons of Anarchy looking. Who knows, I may still get a leather one later, but I'll see how I do with this one first.

Motor is finally done...

This is not my Dyno sheet. My motor has all of these goodies, and maybe a little more cause compression. This is top of the line dyno run, but if mine makes close to this should be pretty awesome. Hoping it doesn't start breaking shit in the trans or belts. Remember this is in a stripped down 2003 superglide. Ain't no ride like a superglide.

More seat pics...

Here's what Christian sent me. He had to do the funky bottom cuts since I welded the mount solid to the pan. I also got him to do a SUBTLE BDAC logo on the back/bottom of the pan. I like crazy tooling, but I wanted this one to be somewhat simple like the rest of the bike. I've always liked the top-stitched look and I wanted it to be extra comfortable since it's a regular rider, not a show piece.

Done...and badass.

Crazy Christian sent me pics of the finished product. I'm stoked to get it back.

Juice Bar...

S2 350 Rebuild update...

Because of everything else, this kinda got the backburner. I finally went back to it and decided I would "bob" the frame for more of a racer look...here is the beginning of that. I'll relocate the shock mounts inboard just a hair, cut a large section out of the frame, add some supports and make it good for a nice, low slung seat.

I can't believe we've been doing this shit this long.

If anyone remembers, a few years back Hank Young was selling oil tanks like this. They were actually made by Mike and Zack Saligoe (as were several of Hank's creations). This was chilling on Zack's welding table and he has since moved to Vegas. Last time I was there I grabbed it and told Mike that we were going to test fit it and possibly modify it for the next Shovel build. Well, it fits nice, so I guess with a few changes this will be the new oil tank for #2.

Ohhh So Cal Mexican food....

Need I say more.

For Beaner...

Monza Red.

"It's made of PEOPLE!!!"

Still wants...

Sure, older Harleys are what I eat and sleep, but I still have dreams of cruising down the highway on one of these some day soon.

Mean as a rattlesnake...

From the RFL site...

It's nice to be a part of this. Good luck Lee.

Timebomb Tuesday...

So been listening to these guys alot lately. Digging the shit out of them. Sounds kinda like a new age Neil Young in alot of his stuff. Cheers I am off to SOuthern California again. Looking forward to some time off and some cooler weather. Yep it is still hot here in the ATL. Cheers!

Protect yo neck...

Doing 80 down I-85 means I don't want my face ripped off. I don't care if you hipsters like it or not.

Some people...

I'm about ready to give up.

Sneak Peek...

Christian sent me some pics this morning...just a little peek of what's coming soon. I didn't want anything flashy...

New toy...

So my Garage has it late night perks. A beer fridge, Go Kart with no brakes, and now I have added this little jewel. It hasn't ran in like two years or so the guy said. I am soaking the carb in some parts cleaner as we speak. The gas tank smelled like a Tijuana port-a-potty. I look forward to the late nights on this beast.

Dock Ellis recounts the no hitter...

Dock Ellis...

Wanna hear some crazy shit? Read about Dock Ellis' 1970 No-hitter (the only in his career) in which he has said that he was tripping his ass off the whole game...

Here is the Wikipedia article on Dock. He was apparently a character. He even spent 4 innings of one game attempting to hit every player on the opposing team to "prove a point."

Shakedown successful so far...

Some Swag...

Buy some shirts Folks 15 dollars shipped to your door.

Headshot Bitch...

Seth's Shovel...

I shot these for Seth a while back with different intentions, but the pictures weren't exactly what I wanted and I didn't want them to get stale. I figured I'd post them here so they didn't go to waste. I'll redo them, Seth.

Big Baller...

For the low price of $12,500 you too can support abortions across America. Thanks Joe for lifting this off of Craigslist.

Article #3...

Timebomb Tuesday...

So this is Tim Barry former front man of Avail, most of you probably know that. Him and Ben Nichols of Lucero,Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Austin Lucas and a few others do a revival tour every year I have been to two of them. If you get a chance check all of the guys, Super talented group of guys always makes for a good show. Cheers!

A good day Saturday...

Drinking, cooking and football. If there was a way to add bikes and guns to that then it would be what I imagine Heaven is like.

The Dawgs rolled the Louisiana-Lafayette Cajuns in a 55-7 victory.

"You got Boykin'd."

Sons of Anarchy...

It's cool to call it gay, but wouldn't that make it cool if went against the grain? I dunno, I can't keep up with the hipsters today.

I actually like the show and I'd show Peg Bundy my chicken heart.

Season 3 starts tonight at 10pm.

The Horse #102...

If someone has a scanner and can email me a copy of "Buford Shovel Pt. 3" from this month's issue of The Horse, I would appreciate it. For some reason the people that live everywhere around me has the issue at the beginning to end of the week before it hits the newstands, but yet my issue still hasn't gotten here. Way to go subscription service. It would be nice to read my own fucking article.

Enjoy yourself...

Sunday Sunday Sunday...

So NASCAR was in the ATL this weekend. My Popps and I went down. Hard to beat night racing. 200 Mph at night is some seriously rad stuff. I also won some money on Tony Stewart so thats a plus thanks for my rotor and stator Mr. Stewart. Cheers!
