BACK BEHIND BARS

Good to see a day with sun and 73 degrees. Traded for a twinkie powered Flh standard during the winter. I had not really had a chance to get out and ride it till today. Don't get me wrong I love my old iron but there sure is something to be said about throwing your leg over the saddle hitting the button and going. This bike has a few things that are a first for me as well. A radio and nothing is broken or falling off of it. Well that's about all for now Ride Free.

Framed

Started on the frame for the next one to roll out of the shop here in the near future. The 31 Plymouth Seedan should be sitting nice here in a few weeks but we got the basic frame laid out and welded today. Next on to mounting the suspension to the frame. Also did a little mock up for motorvation. Car will clearly sit lower with rake but for a look see we rolled some wheels up to it.

New Stance

Well she is back on the ground with a new set of shoes and a upgraded and lowered suspension. She could be lower, but this truck is a driver and a utilitarian vehicle for the shop. So function over form on this one………

Merry Christmas

In Germany/Austria, Saint Nick and Krampus go around like a good cop/bad cop team. Krampus, a whip carrying, horned goat demon, with a long red tongue takes the naughty ones, while Santa Claus rewards the good ones. (Hopefully there are no naughty ones out there as Krampus has some whipping switches ready)

Wishing For a warm Summer Day

flh

Tis’ the season to be upgrading…Did a little trading and upgraded from the evo powered Road King to a twinkie powered FLH Standard bike with a lot of power adder parts and this one even has a radio….Cant wait for summer, especially since I am sitting here watching it snow again with a crap ton of snow on the ground already.

So here is to good times and summer riding that is just around the corner.
