A Fine Chariot

2012-02-05T16:39:00.001-08:00

I saw these pictures on Facebook the other day and couldn't resist posting them. I might resemble a bit of both, hahaha!!

Mock up

2012-02-05T16:33:00.001-08:00

I think this is how she's going to look.

One of these things..

2012-02-05T16:31:00.001-08:00

Is not like the other. Stock shit fits, that's it.

Stash

2012-02-05T16:28:00.001-08:00

I was up north at my folk's place all last week working on my bike with Uncle Bob. In between the trips to the hardware store and other crap I got to look at a little bit of Uncle Bob's stash.

Moped Monday

2012-01-30T22:38:00.001-08:00

Skatin'... Drinkin'... 2 stroke... No joke... Seizin' shit..

If Blk Blk were into cars this would be them. This video rules!

Speaking of swap meets

2012-01-25T12:57:00.001-08:00

My Dad and I will be out at the AMCA meet in Fremont, NE this year. At this meet I will have my last apprentice judge meeting and I will be a field judge. We will have a table in the swap meet and are bringing some cool stuff. I know it's going to be cold as hell, but if you live around there come check it out!

Denver Swap

2012-01-25T12:48:00.001-08:00

We will have a booth at the swap right next to Deluxe. I have to work at the bar Saturday but I will be up on Sunday. Hope to see you there!

2012-01-14T20:40:00.001-08:00

I put in a good day at the range today and got to try out my new Smith and Wesson .38 special. This little dude unfortunately didn't make it out alive.

Balancing Act

2012-01-13T19:23:00.001-08:00

My mentor Mike and I have been working on balancing the fly-wheels for his '42 U. Here's a few pictures.

Another tranny project

2011-12-22T18:51:00.001-08:00

I'm tearing apart this ratchet top trans this week. I giggled when I took the top off because it looks like someone used white house paint to seal it up, brush strokes and all. Oh well, it did it's job!

Fixing Frames

2011-12-22T18:48:00.001-08:00

A few weeks ago my mentor had me fix this frame. The neck was hideous, it had no foot board tabs, the seat post had hideous welds and holes and the area where the oil tank goes was cut off. So I made it all pretty again! I should've gotten some before pictures but I didn't. Life will go on.

My Sissybar

2011-12-10T20:50:00.001-08:00

I don't know if I've posted this picture before but here it is again. I found this beauty at a chopper shop in Colorado. It's from the 60's and some dude probably on acid made it. The chrome was coming off and it was a bit rusty so I had it polished and re-chromed. I can't wait to put it on my '49.

Yours truly

2011-12-10T20:46:00.001-08:00

I got a good laugh when my Mom e-mailed me this picture of me when I was a kid.

Leonards Flatty

2011-12-10T20:42:00.001-08:00

I can't wait to see this bike when it's finished! He's bringing a few more projects down to the shop tomorrow and I can't wait to jump into working on them.

2011-12-10T20:40:00.001-08:00

I'm in the middle of porting these heads.

2011-12-10T20:38:00.001-08:00

I went shooting with a friend last Friday. I love a good day at the range!

Pretty sure...

2011-11-29T19:56:00.001-08:00

I think I have a different Harley shirt for everyday of the year. This is just one small pile.

Eye see you....

2011-11-29T19:52:00.001-08:00

I got caught partyin' earlier this year.

2011-11-29T19:38:00.001-08:00

Last week we had a guy call up and say he bought a '47 Knuck from the old guy that lived next door from him and he was going to bring it in for a tune up. Turns out the old guy bought it brand new in '47 and has kept in mint condition since then but hasn't rode it since '72. This bike is immaculate, I mean absolutely beautiful. It is hands down the coolest bike I've seen so far. Anyway the kid got it for a great price and wanted to keep it exactly the way it was, just try to see if we could get if running. Well it's running and amazing to see such great history in motion.

While I'm here

2011-11-28T18:47:00.001-08:00

I might as well share what I've been thinking about lately. Houses. Cool ass houses...and of course, Harleys. I am no longer living in Denver, I moved to southwest Colorado by the Royal Gorge. The more I'm down here the more I love leaving the concrete, bums, soccer moms and bullshit behind in the city. I'm in my mid 20's and I'm still figuring out who I am and my place in this big world. A few things I think I've figured out about myself.
1. I'm really indecisive
2. I love to day dream
3. I love the outdoors and nature
4. I want a kid one day
5. I would love to meet my partner in crime, aka, husband in the next few years.
6. I'm selfish and need to be told I can't have it my way all the time
7. But I will still know I'm right...
8. I want a house in the woods with a shop
9. I really hate that I'm losing faith in my generation
10. But I keep some kind of hope in the back of my mind
Anyway, back to the house thing. Here's a few pictures of houses I like.

For Sale

2011-11-26T17:29:00.001-08:00

I found this little gem yesterday on my way to go antiquing. I guess it's been for sale for many years with no takers. I could see myself buying it to live in and have a shop one day. Hey, nothing wrong with day dreaming right?

Bishops Castle

2011-11-26T17:17:00.001-08:00

I've heard stories about this place that have always peaked my interest and I figured since I live close to it now, might as well check it out. John Bishop is a very old and talented iron worker who has been building this castle on his property for many years now and it's always a work in progress. It's completely free but donations are always accepted and if you get hurt, just remember, you came here at your own risk. Mr. Bishop is not a fan of big brother and rightfully so, they have been trying to turn a profit off of him anyway they can through fines, zoning issues and taxation on donations. There are hand painted signs everywhere voicing his opinion so do yourself a favor and read the pictures I took of them. It's people like John Bishop that will keep this country good and honest when shit hits the fan. Remember your rights because if you forget them, you might as well not have any and Big Brother can and will take advantage of that.

Well...

2011-11-03T14:32:00.001-07:00

I'm pretty much re-building everything.

Halloween night

2011-11-02T20:48:00.001-07:00

After having strep last week, recovering just in time to party all weekend and work I just didn't feel like dressing up for Halloween Monday night. I called Johno to see if Moped Monday was still on and he said yeah and that no one was dressed up. I was stoked to have a nice last night in Denver with good friends. Well after a few drinks people started dressing up in dead animal parts, hides, furs and feathers. If you know Blk Blk you'd get it. We heard about a house party with good bands playing. We had a fucking blast. Needless to say there were so many people at this party the floor broke.

Making progress!

2011-11-02T20:15:00.001-07:00

I had strep throat last week so needless to say I didn't get anything done. The ratchet top is finished as well as the trans case. The only thing left to do is the kicker side. That should be finished tomorrow!

Secret spot

2011-10-24T22:45:00.001-07:00

Did a little bit of soul searching today at my secret spot near where I grew up. I love going to my home town to clear my head.

Knife Fight

2011-10-17T02:11:00.001-07:00

Friday night we ended up at the Shred Shed shooting a video for our friend's band, Knife Fight. Here's a pic of me and one of my best friends Babehammer.

Portland

2011-10-17T02:06:00.001-07:00

A few friends of mine are on tour from Portland. They are on the road for the next 45 days slaying venues with their killer metal tunes. Check 'em out. Elitist...

2011-10-17T01:56:00.001-07:00

After moving some of my stuff into my storage unit ( my folks basement, haha) I got a little bit of work done on the '49.

2011-10-14T19:35:00.001-07:00

It's coming along! I've gotta take a short recess for the weekend 'til Tuesday then we will be back at it!

Tranny time

2011-10-12T13:42:00.001-07:00

I'm gettin' started on putting the trans back together for the '49.

Backyard

2011-10-03T19:39:00.001-07:00

I'm trying to enjoy my backyard at my place in Denver while I still have it. I'm moving to southern Colorado to work at the shop I've been apprenticing at for a while now. Pretty stoked!

Tank!!!

2011-10-03T02:17:00.001-07:00

Thanks Justin for the rad paint! It's coming together....slowly.

Do yourself a favor and come to the Love Thy Chopper show this year, it's going to be epic. I'm going to have an art display in the show, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

YOB - Ether

2011-07-06T11:32:00.000-07:00

So YOB played at my work last night. If you live in Colorado and missed it, you're clown shoes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

2011-05-25T15:07:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't been on here for a long time. Life kinda hit me with a few low blows and I've been trying to bounce back from that. Good news though, I feel like I can finally start breathing again. I got my old job back that I loved and made great money at, I found a bitchin' place to live and I'm starting to get into the swing of things with motorcycles again. Unfortunately, my Sporty will not be alive this year, but alas, I'm building a '49 Panhead with my Dad and Uncle. We should have it running hopefully by July and I look forward to seeing all my old friends on the road this year! Oh, I guess at some point I should post a few pictures of our progress, haha!!

Ahh, the Blk to the Future moped rally. If I could sum it up in 3 words they would be insane, dirty and drunk. These are the more "boring" of the pictures. I had just been given a camera for Christmas and knowing how my friends party, I had to put it away for fear of it getting soaked in beer or broken. People from all over the country came to see how we do it here in Colorado. How do we do "it"? Well we do whatever the fuck we want.

My Ladies...

2011-04-08T13:46:00.000-07:00

Rule. I don't care what they ride.

Tranny talk

The Black Angels are one of my favorite bands. When I hear them I envision a pack of motorcycles charging down the highway at night, searching for enlightenment or just a good time. Either way, this band will help you find that mental freedom.

2010-11-09T19:41:00.000-08:00

I live to see the friends I've made that live across the country. It seems like in the motorcycle world, once you make a bond, it's there forever, no matter if you see the person every day or just a few times a year. Teach is a wonderful guy who always puts a smile on my face. Here he is hanging out with my Dad at The Horse Backstreet Chopper Show in Sturgis this year.
