Thanks to Tom I was able to get this front end for a song. The deal was sweetened by adding the brakes and a custom made axle that will fit my 19" stocker mag...he said "no prob, I'll just throw some material on my lathe and crank one out for ya!". This way no rebuild is needed for the stock front end and I will get some killer braking power all run on the stock mag which really tickles my fancy.

swap meet score...
got some stuff for cheap...
Now, I'll be the first to tell you, I fucking HATE cheesy "mock up", but, here I am guilty of it.
The sun wasn't even up yet as I zipped down to Belvidere, Il. Had to be back early and wanted to see what it was all about. I bought the window bars from one of the kemosabe and the lodge guys, the shocks are 12" off a cb450. Got it all for $65.00. Not to bad.

Sector 67
and yet another reason why Madison is a kick ass little town...
Nothing quite says small town charm like a collective of engineers, mad scientists, and artists (smart ones...)
this is what they say
"Sector67 is a non-profit collaborative space in Madison, WI dedicated to providing an environment to learn, teach, work-on, build, and create next generation technology; including software, hardware, electronics, art, sewing, pottery, glass, metalwork, iPhone/Android applications, games, etc."
Check out some of the cool stuff they have going on here
Oh yeah, they have a CNC router and a 3D printer (it's a loaner)

every once in awhile
weird shit happens. At work today, drunk guy comes stumbling in and sells me this 1984 original Mike Mcgill for way to cheap.
Now I never rocked the McGill back in the day, but like every other red blooded skate rat, I worshiped the bones videos. Notice the dpr lettering. This one isn't worth the silly money that some are, but it's a wall hanger anyways.
