Not 100% sure if that's gasket goop or someone's tried to pry off the cam chain tensioner???

I had quite the time getting the spring for the tensioner to slide out. That's how you know it's right.

Honestly, how do you manage to attract this "special" client base? Everything you seem to work on should be in a wrecking yard. Remember that bike that decided to see if you could fly?

Brodie, why ya givin me shit, brah? I work on plenty of good shit, but you'll never see it because good things aren't interesting.

I've never shared a ride-along video on YouTube. I have, however, made sure that everybody has seen this video of some guy on an XR landing a mad jump directly into the back of an open van. We can assume he died, but it sure got more attention than Larry's uneventful jaunt to work.

Ha! Yup. And that leather is classic punk rock. I'm a fan.

I find these 'exhibits of jaunt' to be exciting.

This is still a real knee jerker. You never see it coming.

Top that with a ride-along, real or fake.

Go frame to frame at 104-106 and you can see the bike through the window... Maybe fake cause nothing is safe on film, but I could see Twitch doing that 10 years ago.

I love the sprocket chain tensioner...it looks so industrial.

It also would have been kinda trick to tilt the carbs up a hair past horizontal.

It is a sweet ride for sure... If the forks were raked (offset) so the frame was level the carbs would be level, but offset triples and or cutting the head stock off and changing the geometry can be a daunting task in a home shop.

This is a classic looking Triumph chopper/bober whatever your flavor... Nice job, clean rider!!
