I want my two dollars...

Jake and I went out to the bike swap meet this weekend and I was surprised how small it was this year compared to years past. We went to try to find him a skinny solo seat and oil tank for his rigid triumph project. Unfortunately it was not meant to happen this weekend, but I spent two dollars on a new coil cover and a cool aluminum points cover.




So the hunt continues for Jake's seat and tank so if you have something or know someone with spare stuff kicking around, hit me up please.

On the Olds front, we are now back on all four tires AND we fired today for the first time in over a year. She ran pretty good considering I had never heard it run when I started on it and the gas in it is older than my first post on her and has had no stabilizer added to it...whoops. So now we're going to bang out some brakes and we're almost wrapped up with the majors.

I'll have more soon boys and girls, just sit tight.

I know, I know...

Every time I don't post in ages I say it's the last time...my bad.

After this little hiatus, I've got my battery recharged and I'm getting back to giving a shit about life.

That being said, I've been pretty busy doing all kinds of random shit. I joined a band, built some new fixtures in the old lady's store, fucked around with the bike, dicked with the olds, yadda yadda. Here's a peek.

Here's the new shelf/rack I built. The old one served it's purpose well when I built it almost three years ago but has developed into an eye sore. So now there's a nice black and chrome job that runs the full length of the wall.



The old lady's happy with it so that's good enough for me.



Done with all the "necessary to run" wiring on the olds. Should be back up running next weekend. Then brakes, interior bs, and the less important electrical (courtesy lighting, heater control, audio) and she's done.






Here's how the bike looks now with the striped scallops I did. I might change it again in a minute, but who knows.



I'll have more soon.

If your in the neighborhood on April 19th, check out the show. It should be pretty bitchin.
