Always wanted to try my hand steadiness, bought a starter brush and some paint. Let the frustration begin!

Ur wife gotta sister?? You have a real keeper there! Congrats!!!

When I bought my house, the first thing I did was paint the floor. Being new construction, there were no oil spots, but I did use an etiching acid prior to painting it. At the time, there were limited options for colors and I wanted to paint black and white checkers. Of all places, Home Depot...

I would search Ebay, I bought my Schott Perfecto there, and somethings you can find killer deals, I did!! You have to be patient, and certainly check the sellers measurements. You are slightly taller than me, and weigh just a bit more. My Schott fits me perfectly as far as length of arm and...

As you have discovered, they are difficult to find, and because of that the price is fairly high as well. I have a Vintage JT Racing that I "had" to have, so I was willing to pay the market value. Supply and demand, if you throw enough money at someone, they (I) may part with them. Noel was...

Ok, after a few glasses of red, I gotta say this is fucking freaky!!!! The chicks last name and mine are the same....freaky cuz not a common name. I recently moved from Colorado to NorCal,(just north of Oakland) again freaky. Bottom line there are some fucked up people out there, just wish they...

Been there done that....its like the moto version of "the walk of shame"! Mine was 95 degree day, leather jacket was killing me. Felt so good to fill it up and blast home....

$5 bucks a patch at a shoe place is possibly more cost effective then buying your own tool to do the job. However, if you have multiple jackets with mulitple patches, buying your own machine can more then pay for itself. I have to disagree that a cloth machine can not handle leather. Patches...

$10 to $20 bucks a patch! I bought a sewing machine for $100 bucks, learned to do it myself and can take pride in craftsmanship. Its really not hard to learn to do, and you can buy a leather gauge needle for a few bucks if you can borrow someones machine. Simply words of encouragement to go...

I almost bought an industrial sewing machine, but it was huge, heavy and above my needs. It was all of $90.00, but I didn't want to lug something that size around. It didn't have a "guide foot" so it wasn't or my skill level or needs. fuck, I know sewing machine lingo now... The Singer is...

Here is my new bitch tool that made it all happen. Now I am not saying I am good at sewing or have a career in a sweatshop, but I did my own patch jacket.

This is a brown Brooks jacket that I bought for kicking around. I need to create a new liner for the jacket, but after a tub of mink oil, it looks pretty good.

I have been collecting patches and pins to make into a "patch jacket". I was debating over using a Rocker style or Cafe style and decided on a Rocker. I have a few jackets already, but wanted to obtain a Schott jacket to see what the difference between a Schott and other brands. Scored a...

I used VHT Gloss black paint with no primer. The key is the prep work and allowing it to cure. I let mine stand for a few weeks before I started the bike, so the cure probably was more dry time than heat. I wanted a gloss black finish and it came out looking how I wanted. VHT is a little...

I have that same lid and love it. Really gets ya noticed riding which isn't all bad!

Simply amazing collection. All of the best things in life....wow!

http://www.steeldragonperformance.com/ Here is a great link to some velcity stacks that I am thinking of trying. There is a long thread about them on www.sohc4.net and much insight to whether or not they work, how the air is disrupted by them, so on and so fourth. IMHO, they look badass and...

Attempted to make my LED turnsignals work. I bought the flasher needed for the LED, and also the resistors and wired them up. Still no flash. Initally I ran just the flasher and then installed the resistors and nothing blinks but they light up. Maybe its a bad flasher. Never the less, I...
