Threw a new MK on a wheel, bars welded last night, sold some shit, bought some shit, bent up a bitch bar with New Kevin and I’ve got a vintage track racing bike project coming into the shop here shortly.

The Love Whip

Almost ready for the road. Worked on the love whip over the entire weekend. Smoothed out a couple dings in the tank, cut down the bar ends, and I got that sweet FMA stack mounted but I still wanst able to get everything knocked out. Need to clean up those damn cables and I’m starting to consider maybe some rippled pipes to finish it off. Paint on Friday – On the road next week!

Does the Pope wear a Funny Hat?

Been holding out for a warmer day so I could sneak out to the garage and knock out my popes hat sissy bar. Finally decided not to let the Minnesota weather get between me and my welding. Put the kid down for a nap and got to it. Just needs a little touch up with the grinder and the Yammy is out of here. If you’re looking for an XS650 chopper that runs like a rapped date – hit me up. Everything was gone over this winter and it will officially be for sale sometime in the next week or so. Check craigslist, xs650chopper.com, egay, etc, etc.

dig it.

Sissy Bar – Dig it.

It’s been so nice out these last few days! I went out to the garage over lunch and started screwing around with some round bar. A cut here; a bend there and I’m thinking I might have some new sissy bar plans. Nothing too fancy. Just a little something to strap some shit down every now and again. I’m thinking some heavier gauge round bar stock a little taller still. Dig it.

the Hard Ride – 1971

I was flipping through the channels last night and ran across “The Hard Ride” circa 1971. I remember the last time I saw this movie must have been like 10 years ago. There’s a really funny scene where the dude ties a dirt bike to his sissy bar and straight tows the thing off. It’s your typical strange and almost plot-less biker flick.
