Last weekend....
Me, Mailbox, and The Leg went down to "the space" for some good times. We all wanted to come back home around Midnight but the festivities didnt end till my puke filled beard hit the bed around 6am. This place is fuckin rad. So much cool shit goin on and everyone we met was a stand up dude. Hope to make it down sometime soon. This time I am staying away from the whiskey!
Heres some blurry as fucked up pictures.....man, I really need a camera bad.
Me and Mailbox woke up around 11am on Sunday and road up the the Dwight House for some good ol hillbilly lawnmower races. Some dude had one with a sportster motor that was fast, squirrely and loud as shit. Lots of cool shit.....but my still hazy mind was floating in other places with barely enough thought to grab a couple of pictures.
Up above is Big Jays Evo. This thing started off as a stock Heritage softail that got hardtailed. Badass bike and I hope to snap some better pictures off it sometime soon. You can follow some of the build on the Jockey Journal if your good on the search thing.
This bike caught my attention because of the obvious. Nope, thats not the NOS energy drink. Thats the real shit dude. I wonder if he has actually ever used it???
It was so nice on Sunday we decided to do some cruisin around up north for a bit. I got the word that C-bass picked up that sweet Pan/Shovel and went over to his place to check it out. All in all, it was a great fuckin weekend. Theres still some time before it snows so take advantage of it you fuckers!!Monday, September 28, 2009

DUCKTAIL / JAMES DEAN
EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED FOR THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOWS, (AND THE MORNING OF FOR THAT MATTER) WE PRESSED ON AND RODE DOWN TO THE DUCKTAIL AND JAMES DEAN ANYWAY. EVERY SEPTEMBER THESE 2 SHOWS GO ON AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME WEEKEND, AND EVERY YEAR THEY'RE BOTH PACKED. THIS IS A SHOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF JAMES DEAN AND ONLY GETS A FRACTION OF WHATS THERE, AND DUCKTAIL HAD EVEN MORE, WHICH IS THE SHOW I PREFER. IT'S ALITTLE MORE FUN AND DIRTY.
THIS PROVES IT. MOST OF DUCKTAIL LOOKED LIKE THIS, MUDDY SWAPPY MESS, BUT THAT DIDNT STOP ANYBODY. EVEN THOUGH THE PLACE WAS A MESS, CARS STILL CRUISED AROUND, AND EVERYBODY AT THE SHOW IS USUALLY MORE LAID BACK. CARS ARE ROUGHER AND TOUGHER. MORE MY STYLE.
MY FAVORITE ARE FENDERLESS RODS, I THINK OF THEM AS CHOPPERS OF THE HOTROD WORLD. STRIP IT DOWN AND MAKE IT FASTER. IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, TOSS IT!
WUSSY SHOCKS
SO DECIDED TO MAKE AT LEAST ONE OF THE SICKLES PASSENGER FRIENDLY AND STUCK SOME SHOCKS BACK ON THE SPORTY INSTEAD OF THE STRUTS. PROBLEM IS, YOU CHANGE ONE THING AND IT STARTS A CHAIN REACTION. FIRST I HAD TO RE-ROUTE THE REAR PIPE FOR MOVEMENT. DON'T TOTALLY LIKE IT BUT HAD TO BE DONE QUICKLY AND CHEAP. I'M LOW ON GAS FOR THE WELDER, CAN GO WASTE'N IT ALL JUST YET.
THERE WERE A COUPLE HOLES ALREADY IN THE FENDER FOR PREVIOUS IDEAS. THOUGHT I WOULD USE WHATS THERE AND GO FOR A SPARTO-ESQUE LOOK.
THIS IS THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH IN SHORT TIME AND STILL MAKE ROOM FOR SOMEBODY ON THE BACK.
PLUS I USED UP ALL MY GAS BY THIS TIME.
AND I NEEDED IT ALL DONE BY THE NEXT MORNING IN ORDER TO RIDE DOWN TO THE DUCKTAIL. A QUICK SHOT OF RUST-OLEUM BAKED AT 100 DEGRESS FOR 45 MINUTES MAKES A COMPLETED PAINT JOB IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.
Here She is........
So,picked the new bike up today.1948 pan/shovel 84i stroker motor,std cases blah blah blah......The guy had tears in his eyes when we left.I think Bobby knew more about the bike than the guy did.She runs strong and I can tell we are going to be friends.
The thoughts are running rapid in my head,I can't wait to chop this thing and make her my own.I can't control my brain,all I can think about is what I can do to her and what I don't like,kind of a hot chick. I'll start getting rid of stuff once I get my hard-tail section....That side mounted front end is going,seat,tanks,fenders,bars and risers......
The guy told me Big Al built it out of Florida,who's trade mark is a welded quarter down by the foot break.....I have know clue who Big Al is.......I guess if I talk up Bobby when I sell this thing years down the road,he'd sound like a big time builder too........hurry winter,lets chop.......

Fags......
I hate these motovational poster things....but,i like this one because it reminds me of the type of shit my buddies would do.........
Mailbox is chopping another jap bike,well,bobby is chopping another jap bike and mailbox is helping.Mailbox picked up this flat fender for the bike and the Leg sat on the bike to size her up for any hogs that scott decides to bring back to camp next summer.
She's a keeper,if bobby can fit on the back of this jap bike,then mailbox is sure to score some major omega moos next year....fat girls are never safe when scott is looking to wet his noodle......Sooo Weee piggy piggy

GAY,GAY,GAY!!!!!
My old man has his own buisness,it's a third party service and he has contracts with a few relocation companies.Well, the other day one of the companies sends over work for a guy up in Milwaukee that works for the ''Factory''.
This guy had boxes of bolt-on shit and chrome this and like 6 seats that come on stock bikes.you could have built a bagger out of the box of shit he had.....You should have seen his closet,they had harley t-shirts for everyday of the year.
Then I found this sign in his garage,read the fucking thing and then look at the whole image.
