We’ve returned from the shovelhead underground. Managed to come out the other side with a couple shovelhead motors. One complete and the other is a basketcase shovelhead. The dude I bought everything from is a pretty cool fella. The more we hung out the more stuff he threw in with the deal. Managed to drive off with 2 motors, coils, carbs, a spare engine stand, a set of straight pipes and he even tossed in a few books and hard parts catalogs. I gave him a list of some other odds and ends that I’ve been looking for so hopefully I’ll be headed back soon for a few more goodies. Speed Club Approved.
Proceed with the following commercial carefully. Do not be fooled. This is NOT brought to you by the dudes who did Harbortown or Choppertown. This is brought to you disguised as one of those documentaries.
Why didnt I think of hanging my signals under my bars and mounting a solo seat?… Oh wait – signals look stupid and I made my own seat. I like to think that my chopper and bobber enthusiasm ultimately has nothing to do with Harley Davidson. Yet – here comes HD trying to steal my thunder. Aint that some bullshit.
Stompin’ around out in the Midwest, you cant NOT stumble onto Zac Doom (or as I like to call Heavy Himself) and Heavy-clothing.com. This guy really represents for the Midwest Moto Culture. In fact, he recently made it to cover of Iron Horse Magazine. I’m definitely not the first guy to report on this but I had one of those 1 degree of separation moments this morning when Eric dropped off his bike to get some work done. Eric mentioned knowing Zac to some degree and I realized damn… this dude gets around. With that, I thought fitting to show him a little extra love via the Speed Club Chopper Blog.
Zac,
Congrats on the cover. Much love, respect and appreciation for keeping the midwest Heavy. Hope to see you around this year.
The king of cool, Steve McQueen. Seriously, this dude could make needle point look cool. I was just goofing around Youtube yesterday looking at videos of midwest trails and managed to stumble across this sweet video. I think that’s a Manx kit he’s got on the VW but I’m no Dune Buggy aficionado. Anyways – watch the video, pop some amphetamines and drive fast.
