Another Sunday ride

Pics from last Sunday. My Bride, Daughter and I took a ride up to Merryman Falls. A nice short ride and the falls are right along side the county road, most people drive right by and never see them.

Cutting firewood and taking care of some other chores this weekend, the weather is cool and good for working but I still wish we were riding.

HAPPY EASTER.......

A little update, the Flyrite is a roller now, the neckcups came in last week and my son and I got them put in, I cut some spacers for the front wheel and its on too, woo hoo. I have been working on the oil bag a little but my day job has left little time to work on things during the week. When the weather gets good again, I'll roll it outside and get some pics, maybe I has the oil bag so I can put it on to see what it looks like.
------------------------------
So yesterday I took the bride and daughter for a ride, I have kicked around an idea of putting a small run together, something similar to what the El Diablo was from Cali or the Gypsy rum on the Eastcoast, we checked out a location and I think it will be great, even if I am the only mofo on the mountain. Its pretty remote by most standards, the cell phone coverage is so sporadic that I would be driving and get text from my son that he had sent an hour before, its a great place. Anyway I know a few guys that will go and may even post this on a few boards. More later, but if you are interested in coming or helping out get ahold of me.

There are 3 campgrounds in the area, we only got to 2 of them, this is my favorite.

The shelter, located almost in the center of the campground.


A larger camping spot, this is one of about 8 areas.

Bomb shoots, his and hers. These are maintained pretty well.


Skinny dipping anyone?

A few large spruce trees in the campground, man my daughter is getting big, funny how fast they grow up.

My love and I hanging out on a picknick table looking at the river after enjoying a picknick lunch.

The moss is longer tham my whiskers up here. This is in the campground.





A pic of the river at a lower campground.

Chickenhead

This is the chickenhead rock. Its a rock that's just the right shape, someone painted it up and set it on a stump, I thought it was pretty cool.

I started working on the oil bag, got the main tank finished and and working on hammering out the ends, I have one done and now need to go hammer out the other, make a few bungs but its coming along. I'll get some pics of a play by play when I get closer to having it finished.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Last one

For a while. I am going to try and concentrate on the SG build, I have most of the parts to get it to a roller. I now need to start putting it together, finish the gas tank and build or get a oil tank and modify it to work how I want. I wish I had time and content to update the blog more often but I dont. This summer should provide more content, Beck and I will be taking 2 weeks and traveling on our bikes to Idaho and Montana maybe Wyoming and Utah so that should give me some good pics to put up, maybe even while we are away, if I can figure out how to update with my cell. Thanks again for stopping by.



I like nipples, and I think the guy thats getting this does too, he better.

Busy week

but a good one. I posted last week that I cranked out some aluminum filler necks. I finished 3 caps to go with them this week.

Stay tuned I'll have some more caps for sale in the next week or two that can go with either steel or aluminum filler necks, I have necks in both material ready for caps.

Quick update

Work has been WFO the last week, I'll take it, I have a feeling it isn't going to last much longer. We've been slowing WAY down and it may come to a screaching halt for some time, we shall see.

I took this pic out the window with my cellphone the other night on my way home from work, at 65 mph. Kalaloch is a beautiful place.


Aluminum filler necks, some of them are spoken for, I will make the caps and get them finished soon, the others will have caps made and be listed for sale here as I have time, I also have some more steel necks that need caps, they will be listed here to, same deal.



Not much new on the smokin gun project, it is in its own little corner of the living room begging for attention like everything else. I have the material to finish the gas tank so I may get some of that done this weekend, maybe....................... probably not, its supposed to be in the 50's tomorrow and Beck wants to go for a ride.

Good say-bad day

Good---- I got the wheel for the SG project, it was a great Bastard deal from DFB, thanks man. To bad its over shadowed but finding out this morning that a buddy of mine, Roni, was killed at work yesterday. We never worked for the same outfit but worked together quite a bit. He was a great guy that worked hard and earned his keep, leaving behind a wonderful bride and two children. The job we do can be boring at times but is high stress and can be high danger, yesterday we had some pretty ugly weather and that never makes the work any easier sometimes deadly. RIP Roni, log hard!
