Was out on the East Coast for a while again. Swung by a few spots I haven’t visited in more than 7 years. Caught up with some old friends and officially lost touch with others. I guess you really do win some and lose some. Found this pic today and reminded me of Wilford and his boys back in DE. Wilford and his two sons ran a little bike shop from a padlocked garage behind the old train station. Good guys. Good work. Cash only.

Gotta get the garage lift installed. Gotta get a couple bikes finished. Gotta get the Queen Bees scoot going. Gotta get the shop finished. Gotta find those parts. Sh*t is never ending. One of these days I’m gonna get that Northern MN cabin idea going and just disappear. I’m convinced all I really need is a shovelhead, a 4×4, a barn, shotgun, and a wood stove.

Poured out of the cab onto Mass ave. We’re here to see John Funkie. Before my eyes was one pretty sweet little trump. I drunk-photoed it and made my way up to the bar at Zu. My buddy Matt was already sharing a pint Lucas. Lucas is the Choppahead dude in their volume 3 video who’s drinking beer of a garage floor. Apparently Lucas and Matt go back a ways. Cool dude. Sweet bike. Lots of beer and some of the best jams in town. Dig it. ~ Speed Club Chopper Blog.

Gotta love that eBay. Picked up this Wagner style brake setup complete with a ratchet top mounting bracket. It’s even got the switch and line still attached. All in perfect working order for $15 bucks. Sure beats $65+ for something new. It’s gonna be a busy winter in the Speed Club garage. 3 cycle builds lined up and even including a little propane heat action!

Yup, I’ve been slacking a bit. We’re moving to a new shop and trying to get the CHOPOUT plans finalized which is leaving little time for anything else. Hell, I even missed out on fellas night, last night. No tacos, no beer, no nothing. On a side note, I learned that using a spray gun for interior painting is the only way to paint! That roller BS is for chumps. New Digs photos coming soon along with some a whole Midwest garage series I’m planning for the winter. Choppers, bobbers, cafe racers, the whole thing. Check back often. Here’s a little trump I’ve been eyeballing.
