What you call jesting, I call good ideas! Well maybe not the shag... at least not really long shag...

But seriously. It's getting the old school treatment. Thinking something along these lines:



The guy with that van is somewhat local, going to see if I can get hooked up with his painter.

We called them "Fuck Trucks". Back in the late '70s I worked in a "custom" body shop after school. I sanded and primered so many vans for them to lay murals on it ain't funny. I even remember doing one like this but not so "cartoonish". Ours literally looked like a real chop next to the van.... but you get the idea

Say hello to the Bad Van.

1985 Chevrolet G10 Shorty. Custom interior with wood paneled walls and a bed in the back. Plans are paint, Cragar SS's, Side pipes, and some air shocks in the back to jack it up a bit.

Awesome

I would like to say  a big THANK YOU to everyone who has bought starter, tach, speedo, plugs, Speedo removal spacers, VM manifolds and had carbs done.
It's allowing me to continue hobby even though I've been unemployed for almost a year
I just picked up a folding workbench from Costco.
 It even comes with a pair of clamps.
I think its going to be very useful, has a 1000lbs weight limit, (I could put complete bike on it and only be about 1/3 the way to that  )
Also bought a Craftsman toolbox as I'm running out of storage (and places to put stuff) would have liked to get a big rolling cabinet but don't have anywhere to put it unless I sell off 3~4 bikes

PJ that bench is awesome. I could use something like that since I'm very limited on space, nice design.

[Bobbed_out]

That bench is sweet...how much does something like that cost, if you don't mind me asking!

[crazypj]

Bench was $50.00 plus tax, which isn't too bad considering I would never get round to making a folding bench

Got my new brake light mounted

Fix, your bike looks great! I see you drilled out the wheels, I have always liked that.

Picked up the new ride yesterday, sleek, lovely red and white paint job carbon forks, carbon inserts in the rear uprights, lightweight alloys, designed for endurance riding...............................................................




An integral part of the weight loss programme for the XS that has been going on since January, as well as making the bike lighter I decided the sack of potato's that it has to carry up the sprint track could be made lighter (a more cost effective way of increasing the performance of an XS650 would be harder to find) 50 lbs lost since Jan, target is around 70lbs.

Plans for this little piece of cycling art include competing in the French endurance event L' Etape du tour next year (circa 196km in a day riding one of the alpine mountain stages of the tour de france, followed by another Tour de France stage of similar length 7 days later) for charity.

Sorry to dissappoint anyone expecting to see something with an engine LOL  just thought I would share a pic of my newest toy.

Cornish Pixie - a much overlooked method of improving the power-to-weight ratio!

And while it is normally a cheap power upgrade I think purchasing trick endurance bikes nullifies that.

Crazy

LOL - totally agree, the first 50 lbs of loss were achieved with little expenditure, the next 20lbs or so will definately have cost a bit more.
