Bars alignment

Had this set of old brass original Flanders risers in the Shack sitting there to get dust. Think this are perfect for the panhead. I've straightened them up 'cause they were seriously bent. Now I only have to try them on. Have to wait for the fork to get back from chrome ...

I really dig it!

Neat ... From Chop Cult Brooklyn Invitational Focus photo feature. This bike seems to have arrived in a time capsule ... survivor chopper ??? Immense ...

Back to the bone

It has been a while since I posted anything here. Rehab, the time at the beach, the back to work months, Family first ... I'm on the Project now, again. Slow process as I said once ... now at least I can handle tools well and they won't fall to the ground. I had to drop the bars for a while now. Can't wait to fire up the Old Boy and go ride it. It's just a matter of time ...

Hot Days

Noisemakers ...

A really nice video of my hometown from a Good Friend!

A few weeks ago my friends Jim and Sona came to visit from Australia. I know Jim for almost 20 years and it's always nice to hangout and spend some time together.”Fortunately” I'm still home from work for rehab after the surgery, so we could go around a bit and I showed them a few right spots around the area. Jim had this brilliant idea to make a video from the footage we took with his camera while he was here ... has come up with something cute and funny from my point of view, with a lot of suggestive views of the city and the short trip we made to the regional winery in Dozza.

Thanks my Friend, this is really neat!

Rear brake set up...

Found this original rear brake pedal that comes from a '48 Panhead. Mounted to the frame, fitted the crossover pivot and installed the rod to the drum (had to adjust and smooth out transmission plate a bit). I also installed the squish pipe underneath the motor and welded the bracket that was missing over it. Mids are on as well. I'll go with a pair of spoon pegs.

U Fuck!

I've been away for awhile, submerged by the shit that happen every day, filled with crap from pundits testicles disguised as men ... real world for these subjects is fake ... you poor bastards ... do I really look like I give a fuck? You don't know me Jerks, not enough yet... Swear I'll find you one day, you put me down, I'll scare the shit out of you motherfuckers

dedicated to those shit heads who know what I'm talking about

Back to business...

Hero ...

That's cool!

Same people of "The Race of Gentlemen"! Holy shit, look at those machines, pure beauty ... that Hill Climber J model from the '20 and that white Indian in front of the workshop, then the black Indian "55" and that Flat track racer, maybe a '46 ... all surrounded by Hotrods ... Speechless
What the hell am I'm doing here?

A week ago I heard Mattias "LeBeef" Andersson by email. He took the plane the next day to SoCal to start building his bike for Born Free 5. I do not have instagram, but I follow it on the web and I'm pure stoked of how his work is fast, brilliant and neat. He's going to work to all the fabrication now. I'm proud to know this top talented Dude, an authentic and true craftman and a great builder! Keep going Mattias, looks definitely Badass!!!

Otto Rules!

Today I heard my friend Otto by email . . . is the Man! Thanks to him I had the opportunity to find the bike I wanted once ... He's always a great person and a cool guy! I have taken this photo a few years back when he used to ride his '42 WL as the everyday scoot to go to work. I have to admit I was mildly attracted to that motorcycle ... Good Times!
