From The Vorhese Blog. Was on his blog but it's never been on my blog before...
Too damn funny.

PJ's First Annual Bike Show

Justin and I went down to PJ's First Annual Bike Show today. Some cool bikes, met some really cool guys and the Icon Stunt Team was pretty damn cool despite riding on about the worst imaginable surface.

Two trophies, my girl 'Liv had a pretty good day for a woman in her 40's. I guess $20,000 of carbon fiber doesn't necessarily = coolest bike...

The Horse

I guess it's finally out (Issue #104 I think). Justin sent me this photo, hence the beautiful backdrop. I haven't found a copy anywhere yet. Seems like the photos aren't very good. I guess we'll see.

GS Seat

I've been doing lots of build planning and research. I'm using this post primarily as a way to save some referenced URL's.

I've been looking around quite a bit both from the perspective of building my own seat or finding a pre-built one I really like.

This CB75021M seat so far is a favorite. I suspect I can probably buy one like this cheaper than I could build one. A seat pan is available too.



Been kinda thinking a '50 Pontiac taillight would look pretty cool.

I've learned my lesson that running filament bulbs on an old bike is a PITA. Should probably get an LED. Frenching buckets are available too.

I might end up just running a Lucas 525 taillight under the seat/fender. Some of the knockoffs have a built in license plate bracket.

GS Cafe Progress

I got the gas tank back from the radiator shop last night and started Joey's GS for the first time. It's always cool to hear something run that hasn't for 10+ years.

It's only running on one cylinder. It has good spark so I'm thinking I must have missed something in the left carb. It was a real mess.

Triumph Thunderbird Drag Bike

Lifted from Bike Exif. This bike and picture are so damn cool.

Riders Feature

I received a copy of the Riders magazine my 'Liv has a small feature in yesterday. The magazine is really nice, it reminds me of GQ with a motorcycle bent. Similar quality, photography, art, advertising and sense of fashion.

I'm not embarrassed to admit I think it's kinda cool to get a little magazine attention. My daughter shot the photo, her first photo widely published, which to me is even cooler than the feature (proud papa). Too bad my Italian is non-existent. The article probably says I'm a big douche.

Vincent Cafe

Screw the GS, I think I'll just build a Vincent Cafe.

Sweet '42 U

C@D Report

Pretty quiet day at C@D this morning. Justin & I were the only representation from the ABQ Meridan Syndicate.

There was a guy up there with a dual axle trailer load looking to sell a good portion of his collection. There are apparently a couple of teen era Indians he didn't bring (priced in the teens). I'm not really sure how to get a hold of him but if you are looking for a pre-1920 HD or Indian let me know.

GS Cafe

This bike by bhppy101 is very close to how I hope Joey's will one day look.

Decker's Lair

Found a cool Jeff Decker interview on the Knucklebusters blog. Imagine having a Miller race car and a T100R in your living room...
