Ebony Queen

Shit is cold out here in MN these days. Been busy working on the EBONY QUEEN. Listening to a lot of Pussy Galore. Just got my slot in the Donnie Smith show so definitely come out and have a look see for yourself. Im hoping to bring a little California style presentation to the midwest. Its funny – last year, I walked outta the Donnie Smith show rolling a girder and wheel out he door. This year, Im rolling that shit right back in.

Later Gator

Headed over to the house of the unholy for the typical Thursday night round up. Something made me go. I was gonna sit around and watch TV but I realized this might be the last time to hang out with Gator before he leaves for FL!

Everyone was out. There’s lots to celebrate. New Kevin’s bike is in this issue of ShowClass Mag. I’ve almost got my shovelhead flywheels trued. Blaine has just about everything to start assembling his pan. There’s a swap this Sunday and I picked up a sexy girder from Pete! The bummer was that with Gator splitting, things just won’t be the same. I’m sure Gator will be back in town now and again. Here are a few quick photos I managed to snag while running around the shop.

Enjoy-

Girder and Spooly

The chopper gods have passed on a new treasure. Girder and spool front wheel set up. Tire was brand new, everything looked pretty straight, the spool was still pretty clean and the price was right. It does need a stem but that’s no big deal. Dude had it sitting behind his table as if it wasnt for sale. That’s the funny thing about a swap. Sometime you gotta dig. Other times, you just gotta ask nicely. Dig it

Todays moto blog post. Imagine running up a 72% incline on a hardtail with a girder front end. Well that’s how my Pappy did it ~ god rest his old soul. Dig this great clip I found on youtube today. Pics are always great but videos are so much sweeter. Special thanks to Akron MC History. Check back often for more form Speed Club Inc.
