Grocery Shopping

With my Jeep’s transmission on the fritz, groceries have been reduced to the bare essentials.

Jeff Wright @ Church of Choppers posted up a pic of my old CT70 Bobber (complete with CoC sticker). If you’re not familiar with his blog, you better get your shit together and subscribe to his RSS feed.

Thanks Jeff!

Berke… this is the end result of the welding two posts back. I popped a shorty glasspack onto the end of the stock 2-1 for my XS650 daily rider. Sounds much better. Pretty shitty welds, but I’m happy with it for my first-ever welding experience…

Some Pics From Mods vs Rockers 7

Making Three into Two

We have too many nice parts left over from the second KZ400 (last post), and parting out a bike sucks– too many boxes, haggling, and trips to the post office. Ended up buying a shitty KZ400 for the titled frame and motor onto which we will transfer the nice parts. The kid I bought it from proudly did all the mods himself, because he “only rides cafe bikes.” Nice work, indeed.

How not to make a "cafe racer": 1) Spray paint everything matte black without removing it from the bike or doing prep work, even chrome (note the gas cap, bars, shocks). 2) Crookedly mount a stock Honda seat on your Kawasaki. 3) Remove front brake. 4) Fit drag bars that smash your hands into the tank on every turn.

Before we could afford motorcycles…

…we rode lawn mowers.

I voted for this '74 IronHead in the "Best Modern American" category... there were no modern American bikes at the show so it won. Ha!

Another Vino with a windshield? Get real.
