After driving 30 minutes to Ely I found out that I had forgotten my keys at home....ugh....So I drove all of the way back, got my keys, and headed back. I popped the battery in and the bike fired up. I immediately threw my gear on and road home. I road it like a bat out of hell. I wanted...

Some friends and I rode about 30 miles to go to a Bike Night. Everything went great. However, when we were coming back from the rally something happened... In a small town about 20 minutes away from home, my bike died. I noticed my tachometer starting to die, then my lights dimmed, then...

Finally had a little time to play with the bike. I removed the fender and cut it, along with the seat. It ended up taking a lot longer than I though it would. It still isnt finnish, infact I need to go find a cutting wheel and shape it more. But here are some photos from this adventure. I...

Itd really like to cut my rear fender down a lot. Ill probably end up with something kind of bobber style.

Found out why my speedo and odo dont work..... this picture illustrates Iowa winters....

HolyRoller! I stopped posting because I thought people had lost interest. I do still have the bike. Spring/Summer has finally hit Iowa. Ive been on the bike A LOT. I did finally buy new risers so the handlebars don't look as ridiculous. Ill post pictures when I charge my phone. I have...

The kid is 9 and still is a better artist than I. Rock it. That young kid will remember you for the rest of their life.

So I did it. And its fine. Its been holding gas for the last month or two now.

Im interested to see what your going to do. I've been wondering the same thing.

Well, today is the day. Iowa winter hit hard and fast. Last monday I was shooting a competition in my T-Shirt. The next day it was 20 degrees. We have even have our first hard snow. I've ran out of comfortable days to get my Harley back home. They have most of the streets cleared of snow...

Interesting. Any brands you would recommend? or awesome post suggestions?

Ok so hypothetically, I could "warm" my resin and then go outside, lay it, leave it over night, and itd be fine?

I could do that but I am currently lacking a garage.... this is my "workshop" My buddy is building a house. He's a huge motorcycle guy. Maybe he will let me park my junk in his garage for a couple days.

So after going back and forth I said screw it and put my new tank on. Took some convincing but shes on there. In the US we have these dumb "safety" gas cans. Long story short they are a huge PITA to use and I ended up dumping gas alllllll over my paint... oh well. My awesome workbench.....

FINALLY, we had some decent weather today. The last 3 weeks have been nothing but wind, rain, and cold. I came home from work and tried to lay down some clear coat. (I know that there is a ton of dust in the paint, I will be repainting the whole bike when I have the money) Also, I saw this...
