Deutschfieber

Someday I'd like to get my hands on a Fastback aka VW Type 3.

More pictures of this one here.

Idle hands

I really should not take time off work, it leads to obsessive Craigslist watching. This thing is a behemoth. I bet the fairing alone weighs over 100lbs. The price was right though....

Konichiwa bitches...

I'm out way early to my next destination...I'll be in touch. New belt made completely in the USA...can't wear it until R&R (about 6 months), so I packed it until then...damn.

I Hate Hippies

HKG's heading my way from Cali

Goodbye, shop

Farewell, xing fu.

New shoes

Converted to tubeless after some nerve racking drilling of the valve holes. Thanks for the valve stem advice Dan!

Toilet company

From our visit to the Kohler Design Center this summer...Kohler has a program that allows promising sculpture students access to the company's forging and casting equipment, then displays their works around the company's grounds.

And if you ever get an urge to see more toilets than you ever thought you wanted to, this is the place.

gnarley...

It's kind of a long video, but it's got some great moments in it. Fucking awesome machine.

Friday

On the subject of seat covers...

Duane Ballard is the shit...

He also built the pink taco a couple of yeas back. Respect.

Tom's Dream

You can put skis on the front for winter and shout mush! to imaginary dogs...

Only $150, what do you say Tom?

speaking of H.S. Thompson...

Read the chicken scratch, it's his cure for a hangover...

it's 12 amyl nitrites (one box), in conjunction with as many beers as necessary.
sounds like breakfast.

House cleaning at Aarons...

I really think we made a bigger mess than if we had left them alone, but it was fun pulling motors and front ends from three different bikes...




not the same without you buddy, we will all account for that.

Non Normal

One of the better ways to start the weekend: shiny presents in the mail, packed in Japanese newspapers.

Primus

Crappy phone video but you get the idea

The Curse of Speed

This is for everyone except lucky Aaron F., who gets to live it:




Read Hunter's review of the Ducati 900SS here: Song of the sausage creature

DR650

found on chopcult. cool details all around.

notice the cool loop hardtail, the monoshock is attached to the seat, not the swingarm. Wonder how it rides? It looks like a fun bike.

This made me laugh...

Especially the GG Allin story...

nuthin but class

and a $5.00 sissy bar.

Half Track

We've all seen the motorcycle with a track on the back but what about a bus?

Hmmm

So I found these resy shocks on e-gay. they are 11" eye to eye and they will fit inside the stocker swingarm mount. Only kicker is they are a mono for a CRF or XR50 Honda dirtbike. While I could settle for some standard 11' rear straight rate or progressive shocks I wanted the "cool" factor of a reservoir shock...cause as we all know this all about looking "cool".

Anyone have any input on whether or not these would support the weight of me and the XS while also being stiff enough to not rub on the rear fender??

Aaron has always wnated a band

that toured on bikes, well, these dude's in Russia have taken it one step further.
