Nice patina. This has been mounted and run. It should definitely clean up nicely and make someone very happy. Ships from MN. – $125 – SOLD

the LackLuster Express

Lackluster has some plans of his own this winter and he’s got all the right parts. You couldn’t pull Jordan away from this thing last night. Gotta love that red tractor paint on the springer. Dig it.

the Used Parts Biz

So it looks like Speed Club is now in the used parts biz! I managed to scoop up some items here and there and am now finally starting to list everything in the shop (Chopper Shack). The plan is to list at least 2 new items each week on the site and in the cart. With the swap season coming up, Im hoping to move a lot of the stuff Im posting so get it while it lasts! In other news; Speed Club is now syndicated on Chop Cult. Had to do some quick code bullshit to output my wordpress site to blogger, then to CC, blah, blah, blah. Also, I obviously gave the site a new skin and we will soon be doing away with the forum and replacing it with a simple events calendar. If anyone out there has a suggestion, please send it. Now that the snow is here, I finally have time to clean a little house. Im working on a new shirt or two and some stickers. Lastly, Im hoping to do some collaborating with some friends this winter. As always, stay tuned.

Next time you need a part, email me first. If I got it, its for sale.

A Texas Style Trip

On our way back from Born Free last year, we made a number of stops at some long forgotten holes in the wall. This one in particular sticks out. We made a few calls while traveling through Texas. A lot of the bike junkyards had long since closed but one guy gave us a lead on someone. He said “yeah, call Dan… He’s got an old grocery store full of stuff.” Low and behold, He truly did have a grocery store full of parts. We met up with Dan and his buddy Mustang. After they sniffed us out to make sure we weren’t trouble, they let us dig through anything and everything. Jordan scored big. Old pan trans case among some other stuff. I just grabbed whatever looked shinny. The whole time, Dan is sitting out front on a lawn chair pick ticks off his dog. It was surreal. It crazy to remember that we went from standing in the middle of Born Free 3 to a grocery store in Texas full of HD parts in less than 24 hours. There is a second half of this story better left untold for now but… I realized this morning as I glanced at some of the parts I got from Dan, that I never posted any of the pics. Enjoy.

Born Loser

Big thanks to Mike Davis over at Born Loser. Mike has been helping me out now for the past couple weeks by posting some of my parts on the Born Loser site. Ive received a lot of visits to the product page and have even sold a few things here and there. Mike is one of the founding fathers of the infamous Born Free show. Planning a show of that size takes a lot of effort so the fact that he’s still willing to do me a solid really means a lot. Thanks again Mike. I recommend everyone hit up his site and support this guy. He’s good shit.
