That’s right. I’ve got a machinery boner and I’m not afraid to share it! Just last weekend, I had a new printing press delivered here to the shop. Built on January 10th, 1967 and placed on my shop floor just 1 day prior to its 42nd anniversary of production. It was clearly meant to be. This mammoth 1-ton fully automated Kluge 10×15 letterpress is naturally referred to as “Killer.” This thing is capable of 700 impressions an hour at its slowest speed and when she’s fully wound up, its like a steam locomotive running through the building! Production capacity tops out around 3 thousand impressions/hour. This thing is gonna save me a world of time and likely save me from loosing a few digits while I’m at it.
Killer… welcome to your new home!

Speed Club’s day at the Races lat summer. Everybody was out there to witness some good old fashioned flat track racing. The sun started to set and the racers rolled out the bikes to run out a few exhibition laps. I’ll definitely be back next year to catch up with the AMA stuff but right now my mind is all caught up new builds and upcoming bike trips.

Born Free 3 Poster and Ticket ordered. No idea yet if I’ll even be around to make it to the party but the poster will go perfectly over one of the letterpresses at my print shop. Dig it. Get yours sooner rather than later. Even better, make the pilgrimage.

Much thanks and appreciation to Diamond Dave who was kind enough to let me stop by his garage last night for some much needed advise and inspiration. Dave’s a real cool fella. He’s got style and an endless stash of killer chopper parts. He knows his sh*t and is willing to share some knowledge. All you gotta do is listen. That’s good people.
