    Cut the decals last week and now I'm thinking it's really DONE!

    I went to a vinyl cutting shop and asked to get some letters and numbers cut for the 650 and the dude quoted me $100.00. After I pooped my nice new Checkered Cafe underwear I told the guy he was a little high (I don't know exactly what he was smoking) and went out and BOUGHT a vinyl cutter on...

    Tonight she done the ton!

    It has to be dark, or so I've heard, and it has to be done with a bit of gusto. So it was! The Mad Kaw done the ton tonight, a little starved for fuel at 110 indicated GPS, bigger jets will cure that, but very stable and really, really smooth. The progressive springs/shocks are terrific at all...

    Sorry I didn't know it was you there at the show Wingspan, your bike looked outstanding and the Trophy you took home was very well deserved. I really should have introduced myself at the after party but after the rain and all the craziness I headed for home when the second downpour hit around...

    Project Mad Kaw is almost done!

    Yes the seat and the tank are from Dave's Legendary Motorcycles Shop and his ebay store. Good, quality stuff. The seat might be better served with some stiffer foam padding but if it turns out to be needed I can get that part done. Dave has been very helpful throughout the whole process and that...

    1971 cb350 custom (rolling chassis)

    Re: 1971 cb350 custom Unless of course you are actually going to RIDE them. I have to ask, as a rider-an OLD rider, why build a bike that you will not enjoy riding? You are investing lots of time and money to fabricate something that will deserve to be shown off big time and you certainly...

    Just ordered the last of the parts I need to finish the bike, turn signals, clutch cable, clutch lever bolt, rear axel (again), and some misc nuts & bolts. Kevin is ordering a new front master cylinder and brake set up and that should be it. Then it's time to rebuild and RIDE!
