I'm going...

why not? the first time something's put on is usually the most memorable for me, gotta go somewhere this year i'm getting stir crazy, maybe i'll run into some folks i've met along the way?

WELL.....

I've been sitting idol for almost 3 weeks now just hanging out enjoying some summertime beers & haven't thought too much about my shovel. That all changed yesterday when i sold my last & only fowl weather transportation on the fly. They had cash & i said yes. I'm down to my Dyna, my dog, a guitar rig ( which i would sell too if the guy's would let me haha) , some part's lying around & my long time half built companion. I'm getting the ball rolling on this motor one way or another & hopefully enjoying the fruit's of my labor in the not so distant August heat. Not going to be impatient & rush into a frenzy though, unless i have a reason, but it feels like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my head. NO way in hell it should have took this long....It'll be a fucking YEAR in October i think? But there's been alot of fucking around time & drinks in between too HA! Wanna put in some miles when it's all over with, skipped out on too much allready it seems like, tired of enjoying other peoples trials & tales of the road.... I'm ready, let's go.....

PISSED OFF BUMBBLE BEE...

is what this thing sounded like. This is the coolest thing I've seen in along time actually in person on the road, and was hauling ass! it screamed 70's to me, complete with hex oil tank, Z-bars, & a bungied on windshield. Can't tell what the bike is but it was rode hard & had lot's of "fixen's" on it. He wasn't trailering shit! he just took the trailer with him haha, i believe the bumper sticker on the back of it said " i survived sturgis '89 " pretty cool in my book...

Couldn't quite...

wrap my mind around these Buells, talked to the guy & he was WAY too intelligent for me!! Super nice dude though, just didn't understand his lingo if you catch my drift...

More.....

Weekend pics...

I actually had a better time this year cause i made it a point to walk allover to catch the music side of it more then ever, got drunk & didn't get any pics except of Texas Hippie Coalition.





They fuckin ruled!! they were good friends with Pantera as if you couldn't tell by listening, but what I'm still high about is getting to see PODUNK!! I've been listening to those cats for 10 years or more and it just never worked out to go see them, it kicked my ass!! Still not over it!, they only have one album you can find & i suggest you do, there in the middle of one right now & said it'll hopefully be done before Christmas, super stoked!!!
Here's the few bikes that were actually cool out of 40,000 i think the papers said?
Crazy. Were more hiding i'm sure but i got tired of walking.....










I'll throw some more up through out the week....

Who's Going???

just got back home, tired. will post pics later..haven't really looked at'em so don't know what i got. Dyna ran like shit! was way too hot, guess my "southern engineering" didn't work, I'll have to put the stock exhaust back on (fuckin computer bullshit should not be on bikes i don't care what YOU say!!), if i go to S.O.W next week end...someone talk me into it!!!

Later...

So, like I said before I'm headed to the ATX today after work, pretty excited, I can't focus on work today! Not because of the R.O.T rally, but just to go back to Austin my home away from home I miss it!!! The R.O.T is dumb. Yet it's my 6Th ( or is it 7Th?) year to go. It's one of those MEGA rally's that's nothing but trailered Iron Horses, baggers, Bourgets, etc etc... That never come out of the 80 grand enclosed air conditioned trailers that are pulled by 250 grand worth of RV/rockstar buses. You can't even ride your bike around the grounds because of the 4x4 20ft tall golf carts everywhere....but oh well I guess I can check out to see if Brett Michales is gonna keel over Saturday night during his hour set hahaha. I'll try to take pictures of anything worth taking of, usually gets pretty stupid at night with all the titties & naked critters walkin around, check y'all later I'm out till Sunday

Doodles....

today at lunch, it's stupid to be this excited about the next build when I'm not even done with this one, 12 o'clock fantasies..............................................

Double take...

this came out of a vacuum pump for a machine here at work. it's a good chunk & pretty heavy. i always make a point to go by the scrap bin everyday, their always throwing away good shit i can use but this caught me off guard!








i mean,...don't get me wrong, i'm not into it, just thought it was weird that's all.....

I woke up today with my mood in the way. Then looked up & realized we are 6 months into this motherfucker. I've had my head down so busy trying to get shit done like I'm racing against something but I don't know what?, and it's been fighting me tooth & nail the whole way. Work is slow & funds are low. Motor is now waiting on me to send some green backs....so, gotta figure that out, repo my truck, re-sale it (again), fuckin yuppie ass motherfuckers. Headed to Austin Thursday after work to the R.O.T again this year so I'll get to go by buds cycle shop which is like a huge garage sale for pull off parts, I'm talking boxes, shelves & piles of shit to the ceiling, maybe I'll find something for nothing. Planning on going to the Smoke out west next weekend but I'll know when the time comes, may have to pull the plug on that one.....umm what else? Oh, my dog has fleas, computer is stilled fucked & I'm going to relax now & enjoy the rest of the summer! Cheers

fuckin internet...or laptop one is goin out the window,down again, hold tight ninjas!


pretty sure these are coming out of retirement this fall....
