BMR 2010
Sorry for posting another video. But Our friends Jeremy and Jessica Harp at Hate City Cycles made this video. I am stoked for the BMR this year. Can't wait to see all my buddies and raise a little hell.

The signs of the times...
I just noticed that on two regular blogs that I read people were talking about helping other brosephs on bikes out with parts in their stash. I think it should just be out of common decency that this type of thing should occur, but I didn't know that it was as rampant as it is among all of you fools. Me, Seth, Justin, Eric and John are constantly swapping around parts/time/services/etc. with nothing more than the knowledge that "what goes around comes around." Luckily, collectively, we have a pretty big stash of shit (Me and Seth are horders), so when the time comes we usually have something that someone can use. I think that should be the case in AT LEAST all crews, if not stretching out also to acquaintances.
Unless it's some rare piece that you paid good money for or is already slated for a build, toss it to a buddy if he comes asking. It'll pay you back in the long run.

Road Trip...
So I decided last night that I am gonna do a weekend trip on my bike. April 15 thru the 17 from ATL to Chattanooga to Charlotte and back home. Good roads from here to Chattanooga then take 74 east thru the mountains to Charlotte. My reasoning is that Lucero is playing the Vans warped tour all year so me being the fan that I am these shows will be better than a festvial. So if anyone wants to join hit me up.

FIRE...
Seen this tow truck engulfed in flames on my way down into the city friday night. The cab had already sunk in by the time I passed and the firetruck was still not there.

Does want one...
Check out the new Rotrax powered EBR 1190 from Erik Buell...I was thinking about getting a Ducati this summer, but if this isn't too God awful overpriced I would consider it as well.
Wiring...
I'm in the process of doing this, but from what Irish Rich said, the Pollak marine switch will allow me to use the threaded "M" terminal as a ground for the magneto...that's pretty rad. Everything on with the same key switch that I had on it before. It was a simple matter of pulling the other ignition and now I just have to run one more wire.
Now to figure out whether or not to get rid of the battery and replace it with a capacitor.

Gay post...
My wife works for Sprint and got me a Samsung Galaxy Tab because she thought I'd like to be able to have a computer while I'm on the bike. Neat idea. The problem is, I can't stop playing this game called Angry Birds. If you have an iPad, iPhone, Android phone, etc...get this game. You basically slingshot birds at buildings with the intent of killing green pigs.

Shitty Day...
So I got on this!
And went here, I love living 50 miles from some of the most unmolested land in the world. Sure makes a short ride awesome.
Good Times...
If you're in Atlanta on Saturday you should come by. Our buddy Jeremy from Muttin Cycles is helping with the bike show. So come by and support a good cause in Cathy's Help, a program run by Jeremy to help families dealing with the struggle of cancer.

Keith Moon...
I'm not a huge The Who fan by any stretch, but it's hard to deny how good a song like Eminence Front is. That combined with how good the musicians involved were from Pete Townsend's amazing guitar work to John Entwistles crazy Alembic basses and Keith Moon's perfect drumming (albeit missing from this album since this was done posthumously), there is a reason why they're still loved today and considered "classic" rock.
This isn't about The Who though, this is about Keith Moon. If you've never read up on him, please do so. He reminds me of some people that I know today and it's a damn shame that he died at such a young age, even though it was seemingly inevitable. Ringo Starr once told he that he was going to die if he kept it up, to which he replied, "I know."
He was known for crazy acts of random destruction. He would crash cars into pools of hotels, throw furniture out of windows and (his favorite) blow toilets to pieces with dynamite. One time at a hotel Moon was asked to turn down his radio because the band was making "too much noise". In response, Moon told the manager to come up stairs, lit a stick of dynamite in the toilet, and shut the bathroom door. After the explosion Keith turned to the manager and said, "That, dear boy, was noise." He then turned to the radio and said, "This is The Who."
Apparently there is a biopic in the works to be released in 2012 in which Mike Myers is to play Keith Moon. I imagine it'll be a good one.

Parts galore...
I got a set of 80" Harley flywheels from eBay on the cheap because the dude had only labeled them "Shovelhead flywheels stock stroke." My plan for the motor is an 88" using these wheels (4 1/4" stroke), the S&S forged pistons I have (3 5/8+.020" bore) with matching jugs in a set of S&S cases that were with the motor that I bought when I was building my CFL (I'm going red glyptal the interior), crown top heads with dual plugs, Jim's top end oiling valvetrain, split rocker boxes, external oil drains, an S&S pump, The Dyna S ignition coming off of the other Shovel and a couple of other little tricks. It should be a SUPER neat motor when I'm done and be a good combo of fast and reliable.
My thoughts Exactly...
Stole this little gem off of zen of neato. I can't wait till I have the Triumph finished to work on my 28. Good ole american steal is hard to beat.
