Parts

...are slowly coming in. One delivery down, four to go.

Tires

Blew some tax return money on tires tonight. Hope I made the right choice...

Burnout Pit

IMO the burnout pit is easily the stupidest manifestation of bike abuse I can think of. Surely it only exists so show organizers can sell replacement tires to gullible morons. I'll reluctantly admit I've seen a few bikes abused over the years in novel ways that involved some unique level of skill and occasionally found myself somewhat entertained or impressed. No skill involved here, just stupid.

This poor sap burned his Panhead to the ground in Daytona last week. Maybe a few doo-rag sporting dentists will see it, take the hint and just stop.

More Daytona

Lot's of cool photos from Daytona making the rounds today. Here's one from Matt Olsen's blog taken by Speed King Photo. Pretty sure I'll be getting this bike for my birthday.

Jameville '37 U

Lifted from the Jameville blog in Copenhagen. I think I'd actually prefer this bike with 18" wheels but they do build some really cool stuff.

Ride For The Cure

Joey convinced me to go on PJ Triumph's "Ride for the Cure" today (and it's her birthday, is my wife cool or what?). I ended up meeting a guy named Justin with a pretty cool Triumph cafe. It's hard to tell from this photo but some of his fabrication is very sweet. He's also working on a model A truck hot rod too which judging from his bike should be pretty bitchin'. Seems like a cool guy. Unfortunately there were not really any other old bikes there to speak of.

Silver '70 Bobber

Parts!

I had an in-laws sponsored birthday parts shopping spree this morning. Woo hoo! I'll take two of everything.

37 Knuck

I've kinda been following the build thread for this '37 Knuck on JJ.The builder just posted a picture of the motor. Total bike pr0n.

Black Bobber

Found this one while screwing around on the Interwebs. Like it.

Life Celebrates Daytona

Too cool, gotta check this out.

Broked 2.0

Not to be outdone by Flathead45's mad bracket fabrication skills (siblings are competitive), I had to break something so I could show off my own skills. Ever wonder if you were diligently replicating every detail of a part someone else made in their garage and that's why it failed? It doesn't seem like that Sparx/Zenier heat sink weighs all that much. Whatever, I'm ready to ride again and missed a day of incredible weather today.
