Dyna Fever

I think a modified stock bike is gonna be in my future this summer. My Chop is at my Dads in his garage and it would be nice to be able to leave something on the back porch, covered, and ready for abuse at any given moment. Work this summer is gonna be crazy and having some sanity within arms reach would be some good therapy. Sometimes I still wish I had my Buell. I guess its nice to have options.

Clean Dyna

I was searching through some threads on Chopcult and came across this amazing Dyna. This guy really nailed it on the head with everything. The narrow glide,bars,pipes,relocated shocks, fender, and EFI to carb conversion is just awesome. I wouldn't change a thing. Great idea on how to turn a stock Harley into something amazing.

Madison, WI

Decided to head up to Madison WI this past weekend to visit with my friends. Madison is such a great town and I really wish my last job wasnt so shitty cause it would have been nice to experience it a little longer. In the short time I was there I feel like I made some really good friends with some solid dudes. Heres a sneak peak of a bike they are building for a friend. Gotta say I'm pretty jealous of the whole shop set up. Its a chopper freaks bachelor pad dream. Who wouldnt want to sleep next to their bikes and have a shit ton of room with no one around to fuck with you?

These guys can crank out full builds, paint, hardtails, service, pretty much anything without the tough guy attitude. If your in the area and need something done check out their blog

Chopper Time

My good buddy Scotty Marone came over tonight to give me a hand getting my period correct Taiwanese Evo chopper on the lift and up in the air so we could pull the front end off. The tubes will be looked at next week to see what is causing all the extra play. Races? Dampner?

Yep, I got lots of bars. Sometimes you can over think your bike entirely during the winter. Its good to have a second eye to keep you in check. Think I will stay with the originals with some taller risers.

The man, the myth, the legend.....Scotty Marone

We got the sissy installed and installed the license plate bracket (not in picture).
Next on the list is an aircleaner that won't catch on fire, and my new transmission that I will be ordering from my good pal Buddy at Action Cycles in Lombard. Its all small shit, but it feels good to get back in the garage, shoot the shit, drink a beer, and look forward to spring. Evo's for Life!

What to expect. First night of VT...Savanna IL

Ahh. The good ole Whiskey River Saloon. This place gets fuckin weird right around midnight. Most times they have a DJ blasting shitty music. Josh said he saw some chick dancing on the bar and her old man came in and pretty much knocked her on her ass. This seems like the lesbo,freakshow, i'm gonna fight you bar....Shit, it is called Whiskey River. Across the street is Greens Tavern, we stock up pork rhines, and the bartender Rachel has always been cool to us over there. You want fun...go to these two bars...only after midnight. Too many stories to tell at these places.

Heres the inside of the Iron Horse Social Saloon. The owner collects and has on display lots of old Harley's, hillclimbers & memorbilia. Hes always in the bar drinking, and if you start him talking he seems like a decent dude.

Old Mighty Miss. How have you spawned so many half retarded mississippi rats?

Heres the back of Poopys where we will be camping at on Friday. Free camping, free showers, tattoo shop inside as well.... just ride up the dirt/gravel hill and make your home for the night. Poopys has actually the best food in town and a good breakfeast. Poopys is about 5 minutes from downtown Savanna IL
