my shop

is a mess, but soon it will take on the more hospitable, bright, organized facade of summer.

way back machine...

Ben put a rad story on his blog about his take on, and history of the contemporary chopper scene in Nebraska.

loosing weight...

I had no idea just how much the front cowling/fairing actually weighed until I yanked it off. I'd guess its between 30 and 40 pounds. Then bike feels SOOOOO much better. lighter, more responsive, more fun.

Coolest chop ever

new lid day...

Not bad, 2007ish Bell moto helmet and some near mint oakley goggles for 40 bucks. A little primer spray paint to hide the previous tacky graphics and I'll be rollin in style.

My Ducati

My 1995 900SS in 2008. It still looks like this. I need to get to work.

Decker's Crocker

This is inside Decker's trailer, so it's not a great shot, but it's the only one I got of it. This was Davenport a few years ago. One of the coolest custom bikes ever.

Awol/Wisco style

Is Neff reading this blog yet? This bike is neat, and fun to ride.

stolen

from Sideburn magazines blog. I am completely infatuated with the bike on the right. Looks to be a sportbike with knobbies. Oh yeah...

jms's gt550

Is going to be a little nut cracker when its done for sure.

call me a hippy...

whatever. Boycot fish from Canada. I know, canada is a cool place and all, and dave is a hoser and all, but the government turns its ugly head with the fishing industry as they bash in the heads of baby seals, gut out one little part and leave the bloody carcass on the ice.

sick fuckers.

H2 Interceptor (Scooter Therapy...)

Its a crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Randy at scooter therapy is a true madison motorcycle icon. Great mechanic, nice dude, doesn't care if you ride a moped or chopper or whatever.

For Tom...

Apparently they made a documentry about Skatopia or they are making one...



I think its time Tom returns to Skatopia...we need to go there on our bikes and camp on the way down this summer. I think it would be cheap. Think about it at least...

when I was younger...

I couldn't roll with Jackson.
Now I find him a fucking genius.

gonz

gettin radical.

awesome.

this is exactly

what got me into bikes, and hondas in particular. I was probably eight or so when the bug bit.

for dave...

I know you've already started, and decided on just the tunnel, but this is just for inspiration...



this is part one btw...I think there are three or four...

Garage dayz...theze dayz....

Oh. my. god. I can't believe how easy it is to cut the tunnel out of a gas tank with a plasma cutter. I bet some other people I may know wish they could cut through metal that easy...hmph...guess they'll never be as cool as me...

Some new metal bumping tools I acquired these dayz...

Garage dayz dude...
