So much time in it, but what an experience.

Finally back together...

Everyone wish your favorite roof jumping redneck a happy birthday. Here hit the big 30 today and is laid up after an appendectomy.

The BDAC...for life...

2012-02-09T14:34:00.004-05:00

When I was 14 years old, I entered the 9th grade. High school was a pretty big deal and seemed like one of the most memorable experiences of my life. You look back on that time and realize that it is a time frame of nothing more than 3 years and 10 months of your teenage years, and by relative standards, that's a substantial portion of your life. I still know people from high school, have fond memories of high school, and know that it's part of who I am, so it made a pretty big impact.

I started the BDAC 3 years and 10 months ago (April 2008). This thing has officially been out there for as long as I was in high school. That's absolutely nucking futs to me, but in the same vein, it's had the same effect. Because of it I've met some cool people, had some great times, and made some lasting memories. In April we'll have the 4th anniversary. Maybe a party is necessary. Either way, thanks for reading this whole time and thanks for indulging me on this insignificant date by reading my drivel once again.

And here is something funny for you...a mugshot of me taken at 19 (nearly 13 years ago).

Comforts of Home

My hotel tonight had an IHome docking station bedside which I put to good use by playing Ride the Lightning full blast. That'll show the Sheraton to put a greasy hillbilly on the concierge level.

Daddy got a new bolt turner

2012-02-07T22:58:00.003-05:00

Got me a new 1/2" drive MG725 in Lime Green to replace my thunder gun. Never had a problem with the Ingersoll but it's just to damn loud in close quarters, plus a lot of my friends have this gun so with 810lbs. of working torque thought I'd give it a shot.

Me and Old J Rod were at this show it pretty much ruled shit. This the end of the night and all the bands from the missing link tour came out pretty rad.Cheers!

Good memories...

2012-02-06T16:48:00.002-05:00

This came out after my freshman year of college. I remember it like it was yesterday and shit like this makes me think that time is just passing me by. Nobody can mess with original Outkast.

Beer Post...

2012-02-06T09:13:00.001-05:00

Usually I'm not a Flanders fan, but I had to try this since it was from the local boys at Terrapin. Flanders will typically be a sour red ale that is outside of my liking, not bitter, but overly sour. This though, was not overwhelming and had a good hop bite combined with a slight hint of sour. It was a good balance that I wasn't expecting, as I had bought this bottle about a year and half ago and "cellared" it to open at a later date.

New Seat...

2012-02-05T11:17:00.003-05:00

Don't really know what to say about it other than the work is flawless and I am speechless still today. Xian Leather is hands down the best leather work I have ever laid eyes on and now I own one of his seats. Couldn't be happier or chose the art better. Thanks to my wonderful Girlfriend and best friend for having this done I am stoked and can't wait to show it off.

The 72 is a metal flaked Sporty with white walls and mini-apes. The Slim is a "50's style bobber" with a 103ci Twinkie in it. EPA, DOT, and NHTSA regs keep them from doing anything unsafe or unfriendly to the environment.

Good on them for trying I guess. Factory still doesn't equate to custom though. There will be plenty of hardasses piloting these faux choppers this summer.

Magic Fingers

2012-02-01T23:15:00.003-05:00

This is from the Hilton Garden Inn. Is this the 2012 equivalent of the old Magic fingers.

Welding

2012-02-01T23:04:00.003-05:00

I have never claimed to be a fabricator or welder, but every once in a while I surprise myself. I haven't stick welded in about 6 months, but today I broke out the old Miller 225 & a box of 7018 & laid down something I was proud of. Now don't go looking for these bitchin welds on discovery channel or cycle source, because they are buried in a milling machine where no one will ever see them again. Material was 1" flat plate to 1/2" wall 6x8 tube.

Beer post...

2012-01-17T12:54:00.002-05:00

I don't feel like writing much.

The Davey Jones Lager had a smooth, malty, sweet bite.

The Fresh Hop was reminiscent of So Fresh & So Green, Green...a very grassy fresh taste.

The Punk IPA is a strong IPA with a very hoppy flavor and is made by Brew Dog in Scotland (the guys that make Tactical Nuclear Penguin, Sink The Bismark, etc.).

The Chatoe Rogue is rogues attempt at an all organic, locally grown beer. It has a very good, hoppy flavor without too much overpowering bite. I'd drink all of them again.

Triskaidekaphobia...

2012-01-13T15:25:00.003-05:00

Shooter Jennings got a little weird on his last album, but I dig it. Anyway, I saw a couple of blogs earlier where people were talking about Triskaidekaphobia, which is the fear of the number 13 (Irish Rich in particular). Well, on that album Shooter and the bunch had a song called by that exact term. I subconsciously convinced myself to listen to that album (kinda like swearing you see a UFO after staring at headlights) after reading those blog entries and that's when I remembered about this song...anyway, here you go.

Head Work

2012-01-12T19:08:00.003-05:00

Here you have a fully polished intake port on my Branch heads. Sometimes I take the intake off just to look in & say hi. Notice the amount of material that has been remove just around the guide compared to the stock pic below. Also notice all the work that went into the floor area.

Here is the ugly stock intake port. It's dark gloomy & just not very pleasant. Maybe one day soon I'll put the leineweber in and see how she likes it.

Cause we don't post enough....

2012-01-11T17:59:00.003-05:00

2012-01-08T20:05:00.003-05:00

Put a 530 chain on the dyna this weekend. Got some stuff done on the triumph all in all a good past week. On another note I have something else to vent about. I hate people who run off at the mouth and aren't man enough to deal with their own problems, but have no problem talking shit. Grow up take care of your shit and quit being a lil boy about your problems. Feeling guilty maybe you need to change how you do shit.

Just because...

2012-01-06T13:13:00.000-05:00

I like it.

More free parts...

2012-01-06T10:19:00.002-05:00

So Justin comes over to borrow my mag timing box and decides that he wants to bring me a present...a single sided Harley 21 with a 21x2.75 Avon and a brand new XR1200 rear wheel. Do I have a use for them now? Nope. Am I a parts hoarder? It's starting to look that way.

I have to build some wood shelves in my other garage for parts. I'm thinking about starting to buy/sell/trade shit.

Thanks Justin. I love you buddy.

One for Kustom Jeff...

2012-01-05T11:50:00.003-05:00

I actually learned a lot while painting this helmet...enjoy buddy.

Beer post...

2012-01-05T11:20:00.002-05:00

First off, I was disappointed by the Rogue, as I expected it to really taste like a maple bacon donut and while it was sweet in the beginning, it left a smokey aftertaste which is not something I enjoy. Smoked beers are gross to me...maybe it's an acquired taste, but a beer that tastes like Liquid Smoke is not appealing to me.

I would like to thank my brother-in-law though. This beer isn't available in Georgia through regular distributors, so he ordered me a bottle for Christmas directly from Rogue in Portland.

Hebrew Jewbilation 14. A 14th anniversary beer for the company with 14% alcohol. Sweet and strong at the same time, this is like a thick malty whiskey. I've been holding this bottle for over a year and I cracked it open to celebrate New Year's. Absolutely awesome beer if you're not afraid of an EXTRA high gravity taste. It's definitely not a chugger or for the faint of heart.

Timebomb Tuesday...

2012-01-04T18:15:00.000-05:00

So I am still recovering from New Years and didn't post yesterday due to being busy running all over GA. I hope all you had a good Holiday season I got drunk and got to ride yep the weather was still awesome. Cheers!

Seriously though...

2012-01-04T09:50:00.002-05:00

I gotta have one of these. Willing to sell sperm, kidneys, nude photos of myself...whatever.

Another night in the garage before we head out to Mikie Webb's Benefit, he lost his brakes on his Iron Head and ran through an intersection and got popped in the side. He is a tough SOB broke his legs and his arm Gotta give love where love is due. Gonna put some new black on this one for one of the import shops around here, it's a clean lil 500.

New Camera....

2011-12-28T18:03:00.002-05:00

So I got a new camera for Christmas can't wait till spring to take some sick ass pics with it. These are a couple of ones I took Christmas day when I took the kiddo's bowling. Pirates and staches never die. It's a Nikkon D3100 and I still haven't figured it all out but it takes sick ass pics.

80ci jugs with built in drains...

2011-12-27T19:15:00.001-05:00

These plugs seem to be there for an external oil drain. The exit inside the cylinder is at the same height as the internal drain. I've never seen these, but that's cooler than the other side of the pillow. I was planning on tapping them anyway, but no need for aftermarket when you have stock goodness.

My two favorite presents...

2011-12-27T09:36:00.003-05:00

I'm a simple dude. I don't really care much for people buying me things because I can't explain that I would rather have the money spent on an S&S oil pump for post-81 motors (you gotta drill that extra hole) than a gang of shirts from (your favorite store here).

With that being said, my in-laws and my wife did good at giving me things that actually made me smile this year. Of course both were hints that I dropped, but isn't that kinda the point of a surprise.

1) An Anza knife made just for me.
2) A UGA jersey with my bulldog's(that I lost in September) name and how old he was on the back.

Timebomb Tuesday...

2011-12-27T07:37:00.000-05:00

So I took the weekend off now I am a bit backed up, oh well back to the daily grind. Hope everyone had a good christmas and spent time with their families.

The most important thing in the world...

2011-12-25T21:16:00.000-05:00

I hope you all got to spend plenty of time with family this holiday season. It's way more important than motorcycles.

Day of Birth Bitches

2011-12-22T23:36:00.003-05:00

Today is the 29th anniversary of my birth. My wife took me to Cheeky, a restaurant in Suwanee that has the tap right at your table. They used to have 3 with Dos Equis & 2 with Blue Moon, but now it's all the most interesting man in the world at all tables. And since I was recently voted the second most interesting man in the world I'm on board with this. Two have amber & three with lager no pics because I figure you can use your imagination.

Xian Leather Helmet...

2011-12-22T09:45:00.000-05:00

I did this helmet for Christian (Xian Leather). He does all of my leather work (belt, wallet, motorcycle seats, patches for the BDAC, rocking chairs for me daughter and dad, etc.) and needed a nice helmet. He said he'd been making things by hand for people for years, but nobody had ever handmade him anything.

Hi-diddly-ho neighbor!!!

2011-12-22T09:42:00.001-05:00

My neighbor/drinking buddy went to FSU and sells supplies on construction sites now. He has to wear a hard hat on site and I told him that his current one just wasn't cutting it. I made him this for Christmas.

Good beer post...

2011-12-20T10:23:00.002-05:00

It's been a while since I made a beer post. I've been in and out of town and wrapped up in too many projects to post anything worth a shit on here in a while. I promise to get the ball rolling again.

What can I say? Terrapin came out with a beer repping the A-Town to the fullest. A lot of people heard of Outkast when Andre 3000 hit the top of the charts with that "Hey Ya" song. Okay, good on him for stepping outside the box and being himself, but that's not who Outkast is to those of us who have been fans since 1994 or so (and even those that came later and remember the real thing). Outkast had a song song called So Fresh, So Clean. The hook went, "Ain't nobody dope as me, I'm just so fresh, so clean...SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN, CLEAN." Well, there you have the inspiration for the name...

The beer itself is hoppy without being overpowering and has no crazy fruit or sweet hints to it. It is a hoppy beer for people that like that green, fresh taste of hops. Hence the name. I enjoyed the shit out of it.

Next up is Abita's Andygator. Abita is brewed in Louisiana and they have several beers that are well-known here in the south. This one doesn't disappoint and is a sweet, smooth bock. It lacks the blah taste of pungent malt extracts that a bad bock will leave you with and just has a strong, sweet flavor. I enjoyed the shit out of this one too.

This pic is for Nick of the Haints. The Circle of Life.

Paint Work...

2011-12-18T10:38:00.004-05:00

Joey and I
painted a road glide yesterday This is how it turned out i like the really subtle contrast of the dark green stripe Joey hates hope the customer likes it.

Cheap parts haul...

2011-12-15T10:12:00.003-05:00

My Pop calls me yesterday and asks me about some wheels that he's stumbled across at a flea market. I'm convinced that it's a dual flange Shovel 16" rear and a later model narrow glide single flange 19" (which they were). He tells me he's got the dude at $30...well being the horder I am I'm thinking, "Hells yes. Ask if he has anything else." He calls me back a few minutes later and says he got a bucket of shit for $15 more and there might not be anything in it, but he'll take a couple of pics to send to me when he gets home. Well, there is a right side FX mid control, a set of FLH trees, a kicker arm, some fender trim, a kickstand with mount and regulator bracket, sissy bar and other odds and ends. That with the two wheels was $45...not a bad haul, Pop.

This is how the blue bike started and is titled. It still had plenty of the original cues when I got it, but obviously those went south when I decided to rebuild it. It's cool to see the original brochure. I would love to have a copy of this.

So I got a shit load of work going on but I think I am gonna find a window in my weekend to switch over the Dyna this weekend. Been wanting to do this for a while. Just makes sense when you make big horsepower you need good final drive parts. I am lowering the gearing a bit for that whole light to light thing. I don't think I will ever grow out of going fast.

Dan "Bacon" Carr tonight on the internet...

2011-12-12T09:38:00.003-05:00

Every week Timebomb joins Jeremy from Muttin Cycles for an internet radio show called Chophouse on Garage 71 radio (www.garage71.com). They have weekly conversations with people of interest in the motorcycle industry. Last week they talked to Roadside Marty, but this week they'll be breaking down last week's Bike Build-Off with Bacon. Don't forget to tune in from 6-8pm EST to listen to catch Dan's perspective on the events.

Oh yeah, and that's a Drake water cooled Knuckle that Bacon and Jesse put together a while back. Thar motor is too badass for words.

Okay, so it's not 100% my style, and I couldn't give less of a shit about what he did to "America's Sweetheart" or that shim, but Jesse is a talented dude. Even though he followed a similar WCC protocol with this build, it still has some classic cues that make it a WAY better choice than OCC's Terminator Salvation tank and the PJD's HUMONGOUS (seriously, look how small that Indian Power Plus is in that frame for perspective)airplane theme bike. The handmade springer is drool-worthy and if I knew he wouldn't charge $20K a pop for one, I'd gladly take one of those fuckers.

Am I gay for watching that show? No...I'm gay for all of the hand shandys I've taken from Waylon.

I don't think they could've portrayed Bacon as more of a hapless idiot.

And I haven't watched an episode of American Chopper in 8 or so years...is Junior's shop sponsored by a chocolate and butter covered donut company? Is there going to be an American Chopper/Biggest Loser crossover?

More alloy fun...

So this lil gem got some new aluminum heads and a lil thumper cam in it this week. This car has been my old mans favorite thing since it was done. Pretty awesome that the old man still has that old drag racer in him.

NOS Akront wheel still in the original box. It was never even drilled. The funny thing is the label on the box shows where it shipped cod from Jim's Chopper Shop in Melbourne, Florida to a dude named Bob Cornelius on N Highland Ave in Atlanta. I bought it from a guy in Minnesota...kinda funny it making its way back here after 30 or 40 years. I'd love to find out when that guy lived at that house so I can get a better timeline on when it was first bought.
