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!

Its started..

I've mocked up the oil bag, gas tank and rear fender, so far, I'm liking it.

The frame is real nice, straight, true and built hell for stout, I'm not going to worry about breaking it when I ride it like I like to ride.

Excuses excuses

First off if you're still checking my blog, thanks, you must be really bored or enjoy the freak shows at the circus. I'd like to appoligise to you for not updating, I have been slammed at work and working on a few side projects so not much time on the web. My new frame should be delivered tomorrow, maybe I should call in sick. Even if I had the frame I wouldn't have any time to work so it hasn't been a distraction to me. I am trying to finish up a few projects then maybe I can start focusing on the new one, or maybe it will get set in the corner and I will spend all spring and summer riding and say"F^CK it" stay tuned.

This is a little project I finished up a while back and didn't post about, Nate seems like a great guy and was great to deal with, thank you Nate it was a pleasure. This is a little something that I do on the side in a littel place called the "choppin' shack" my kid called it that a few years ago and it been fun, we may have a few things this year that we'll market, depends on how it goes, how lazy I am and my day job or I may just leave it in the corner and spend the spring and sum..................you know the story.
