Shout out to Wilford and Sons

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.

All I REALLY Need

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.

Bumped into Lucas (Choppahead) at ZuZu.

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 eBay

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!

Chopper Blog Slack

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.
