    Not a bobber, not a chopper, how 'bout a bagger!

    So I've been threatening to do this on here for awhile. I finally rounded up the cash, and ordered my parts over Christmas. This fall, I had been in to the HD dealer in Bozeman, MT, with which I am quite friendly, and I concepted hard bagging my Heritage Softail, but in a manner more in keeping...

    DTT Pittsburgh...awesome!

    I had the chance to swing through Pittsburg while on a trip this weekend. Met up with Mike and Rich while out here and had a terrific time. You have to meet these guys in person to realize how much they love bikes, life, and DTT. Showed me some of the hottest Beaver night spots--go Roberts!--and...

    Wow! Found an old pic of my first car!

    Found this picture in a box of junk while moving. This was the day after I 'finished' it--what a great first car. 1954 Ford Fordor Customline. 223 6 cylinder/ three speed overdrive. Built out of three separate cars. I started the project when I was 13 years old, and finished in time for my...

    Dyno results on my Sportster 48!

    Finally got my sportster in for its final dyno tune following break in. With just the RSD pipe and the air cleaner, this lil' sucker is pushing 77's--77 horsepower and 77 ft/lbs torque! That's up from stock 61 hp and 66 torque. Not bad for some bolt on mods. Very sweet combo! The bike: The...

    Happiness is a gut pile!

    Tonight at supper a herd of deer came by the window of my parents house. Being hunting season, and since my nieces and nephew visiting, we decided to attempt for the life of one of the small bucks. My dad got this little guy and its destined for sausage soon. Got some good pics of my niece...

    Lansing MI area...now Hastings!

    Hey fellas, I have an opportunity coming my way with a larger corporation that might land me in the middle of Michigan. I don't know crap about MI, wondering if those of you who live there might have any valuable insight. Looking in the Lansing area, but not in the city itself, or even just for...

    Even bigger, and heavier!

    I have been day dreaming about putting some hard bags on my Heritage Softail. But I wanted them to match the 39" pipes, and kind of keep the gangster style of this bike alive. I was visiting with the owner of the dealer about my idea, and it turns out that he's always wanted to do one the same...

    Joining the coffee making crew!

    I really, really, enjoy good coffee, and have been gradually working my way toward this for awhile. I just got this Breville machine in the mail yesterday, and while I have much to learn on its use, I am super stoked! I even got up extra early this morning to pull some delicious brew! Any words...

    Of wives and bikes

    Just got back from an awesome ride with my wife. Didn't do anything wild or fast, just rode to get ice cream and back home. It was a blast and made me realize just how cool it is to get out and be able to share this sport with my wife. Even got a little block racing in (which she won...of...

    The "Skin for Bikes" program

    ....the more you give, the more you get! ;D So the insurance co was more than generous following the fiery crash of the Ducati. This leaves me with some cash to play with, and what better play than a new bike. The mrs has been wanting a sportster for a bit, but I decided that if I'm goin to get...

    Downed the Duc!!

    Sunday afternoon I went for a ride through a terrific piece of mountain road about 20 miles from my house. It was really hot and I was clipping along well, but came to long downgrade portion of the road with which I am not familiar enough to ride with any speed (fortunately). I was slowed to...

    The lead sled...or So Cal Vicla

    Since Joe is allowed to post in here, I figured I would start up a thread on my HD as well. It's kinda been all over here, but it is getting close to where I want it to be. Love me some East LA look, and since the only thing ridden up here in MT is stock Electroglide, it kind of stands out; as...

    A new paint project--How gloss paint should look: Custom HD Road King

    Thought I would post up what I have been working on lately. My boss decided on a lower, longer look for his Road King. He ordered up a rear fender, bags, lids, and flairs to make it all happen. It comes in white gel coat, but the lights are all integral to the fender. This means that you paint...
