Bro

Ryan's never ending obsession. His rx7. How much of this is stock? Not much I'm sure....

Without this guy I would be lost or unable to do some of the things I try to do with these bikes. Thanks Ryan!

週末

6th period on Friday one of my students girlfriends brought me 3 vegan cupcakes. A great way to start the weekend. Little things like this keep me doing what I do. If you know you know.

Dessie is getting bigger. I can't wait till all my nieces are mini people, walking and talking and old enough to have conversations with. I love this photo........

Happy dad on the drill press. I have no idea what he was doing in the crawl space under the house this weekend but I am sure he finished what he started.

shoeboxes

tell stories sometimes. Found about 8 old boxes with cd cases and pictures that I had forgotten about this weekend. Lost memories found.

Does anyone else think the best skate shoes were made 10 years ago? The emerica JT's and the Creager es's were amazing....and I had about 8 pairs of the original low side wall, minimal padding heretics.....my favorite shoes.. I remember searching for the old leftover gross colors when I lived in Japan. I think I bought all white ones and painted them red then black so as they wear down they look like they are bleeding....

Build #2

I probably shouldn't be trying to build 2 bikes at the same time but it's winter and we still have a long way till the weather gives us anything decent to work with for skating or bikes so what else am I supposed to do?

I have two 350 twin projects. I stripped down 2 cb350's and as I sell the parts on ebay, I buy what I want for my rebuilds. I just got the this tank in the mail. In my opinion, this is probably the best looking tank to come out of the 70's. I found one from a shop that was shutting its doors in Canada and the buy it now price was insane for what arrived at my door today. I think that this bike will be built around the color of this tank.

I need a cl72 tank for my other project. Anybody? Ebay has one for 2,500 right now. No joke.

Does anyone that reads this want to have a bike night soon? I will donate my house. Lets sew seats and rebuild engines!

Happy dad

Need one......
This and a kerosene heater keeping everything toasty and my brain a little off center.

Dad is always up to something. Right now he is rebuilding/modifying a boat lift. All the cutting and welding is done, time to paint.

Almost done? Let's get some food, cheeser!

Chimp

Dad had the heat on so the frame got scratchblasted and first and second coated. The swing arm will eventually be removed and painted again but need it there for the welding next week.
