Care package

Big thanks to the Dudes at Loser Machine! It's always nice to come home from work and find a box with your name on it...literally! Jack and Advil...definitely two of my favorites.

In the twenty or so years that I've been riding,I've never had a righteous pair of motorcycle gloves. that is until I opened up the box and saw these! For Me it's always been leather Trucker gloves. These are gonna be Sweet!
thanks Guys

Dynamic Duo


The homie Rick from Canada sent me this pic today. Awesome to see the bikes together still. I think they would have been sad if they had gotten split up!

Doing It Euro Style

The Dutchie' hooked it up with "Big Twin" mag from the Netherlands.
Always a good time when Maurice comes down! Good enough reason for all the Homies to get together,throw some Asada on the grill and have a few brew's. Take care Maurice!

MOUNT UP

Finally got a new chuck for my lathe! Actually,it's from the 50's,but it's new to Me. The old one was too wobbly. It made centering your work piece a real bitch! First pieces I made with the new chuck were the sissy bar mounts for the Born Free bike. Worked great!
Started out with two pieces of 3/4"x 2" roundstock. Drilled out the center for the 9/16" roundstock I'm using for the sissy bar and rounded off the edge.
flipped the piece around and rounded off the end
almost done
cut a 3/8'' x1'' section out. A cut off wheel on a 4" grinder works good.

cut a 2'' long piece of 1/4" x 1" flat stock. weld and blend it and your good to go!!
The portion that's welded to the frame is 3/8" x 1" flatstock.
3/8" is good because you can tap it and have plenty of threads. 

                                 Born Free's coming fast........And I still got aloooot of work to do.
                                Sometime's you need a little pressure to let you know your still alive!!
