ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I GOT BACK FROM A 1100 MILES PLUS RIDE WITH THE THREE AMIGOS, I HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY SHAKE IT DOWN CHASING THEM ON THEIR NEW MODERN RIDES. OUR CRUSING SPEED WAS AT AROUND 75-80 MPH. AT AROUND 85-90 MPH, MY FRONT END GETS THE SHAKES. I`M HOPPING ITS JUST AN UN-BALANCED FRONT WHEEL.......
I PURCHASED THE BIKE FROM AN OLD TIMER IN FLORIDA WHO HAD A PACK OF OLDIES HE WAS SLOWLY SELLING OFF. I STRIPPED ALOT OFF RIGHT AWAY AND SOLD THE PARTS (MADE A LITTLE OVER $2200, YEAH!) AND LET IT SIT IN THE GARAGE AND COLLECT DUST FOR A BIT.
DYNAMITE ASKED ME 'WHAT THE FUCK I WAS DOING',
AND I SAID I WAS BUSY BUT ACTUALLY I WAS JUST BEING LAZY. " GET THE BIKE OVER TO MY HOUSE AND I`LL START FUCKING WITH IT'. I HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE SHOCKS AND TANKS AND WAS DECIDING ON A SEAT AND BARS. JOE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY RIGHT AWAY. LUCKILY JOE WAS BORED WITH NO PROJECTS AT THE TIME AND JUMPED RIGHT ON IT. BOUGHT A NEW 21 FOR UP FRONT, HAD A FEW SEATS TO CHOOSE FROM.
JOE GOT ME MOTIVATED AND BACK ON THE RODE. THANKS JOE, YOU`RE A GOOD FRIEND! GOT RID OF THE GIANT HEADLIGHT, STILL LOOKING FOR TALLER BARS.........
PUT A LITTLE OVER 4000 MILES ON IT THAT SUMMER AND EVERYWHERE I WENT EVERYONE HAD TO POINT OUT HOW MUCH OIL WAS POURING OUT. HELL, I`D JUST FILL IT BACK UP AND RIDE IT. NEVER LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT MY OIL STASH........
AFTER I RODE TO SLAB CITY RIOT, (THATS A WHOLE OTHER STORY, SORRY SHAWN) AND A CENRAL CLIFORNIA RIDE, IT WAS TIME TO GET EVERYTHING BUTTONED UP.
SHINY NEW FANCY PRETTY...........................
THIS IS WHERE THE OIL WAS COMING FROM........CRACKED CASE. I KNEW IT WAS IN THE RIGHT HANDS AT GARAGE CO. WITH KIYO AND CO.........BUILD THE WHOLE THING OVER! I TRUST KIYO WITH ANYTHING, HE IS A PERFECTIONIST! (HE NOW HAS HIS OWN SHOP!)
NICE WORK KIYO!
GOT RID OF THE HUGE BATTERY AND PUT A SMALLER TRAY AND FXR BATTERY ON FOR A BIT SLIMMER LOOK. I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE ORIGINAL OIL TANK AND BATTERY......... ATR BBQ............
WHEN HARPOON IS BORED, OR JUST GOT A SET OF NEW BRUSHES, HE`LL STRIP ALMOST ANYTHING. WHEN HE IS IN THE MOOD, STEP BACK AND LET HIM DO HIS THING......THANKS POON!I
I RODE THE SHIT OUT OF IT AND ON THE WAY HOME FROM ARIZONA, A MINI DISASTER OCCURED......KIYO PUT EVERYTHING ASIDE AND TOOK CARE OF WHAT AILED MY RIDE. THANKS KIYO FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND RELIABLITIY...........YOU`RE THE BEST! ALSO, SPECIAL THANKS TO PHIL AT CYCLE WORKS. HE FIXED SOMETHING THAT MOST SAID WOULDN`T WORK......PHIL IS A GENIUS WITH CASE WORK.
FOUND THE TALLER RISE BARS I WANTED AND GOT THE DUAL HEADLIGHTS FROM CHICA............
MIKE DAVIS KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR PARTS WISE AND AFTER CLEANING ME OUT OF MY PARTS, I GOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.......
WAITING FOR SHAWN AND POMMIER IN POMONA....HEADING TO THE DESERT.
