Gonna head towards something like this

Step 1: Get a Blazer

Step 1.1: Cut off all the suspended stinky cardboard trees
Step 1.2: Jam coasters into the crappy OEM electric mirrors. These things gotta go.

Ebay Score

And for all y'all with your pet opinions about Boulder...

You can suck it.

Gone But Not Forgotten

This is my Grandfather and his brother's milling truck from the WWII era (photo taken 11/7/2010) Raymond went on to serve, Grampa stayed home and kept the people fed. You got grain? They show up and mill it for your table. Both great men and I miss them every day.

Birthday

Winter project finally this year?

2001 GSXR rear end on 1987 1100 frame.
Battery relocation might be one of the toughest aspects- the thing is huge.
Just can't bring myself to run it like they did outboard, in front of the left foot.
Good for center-of-gravity? Yes. Easy on the eye? No.
Maybe, just maybe, under the cavity in the tank.

Inspiration here

Stinky the cat thinks we done good on the ebay.

*edit* Actually, not so good. Totally wrong fitment. Great shape though. All part of the learning curve. Back up for auction you go.

Welcome to The HQ

Airtech!

Sword show in Denver last night. Good livin', and a wicked thunderstorm kicked in right as I was rolling onto Colfax for the ride home. Epic lighting and g*n*a*r*l*y road conditions. Boots and gloves soaked through by the time I hit 36. Thankfully it was late, so not much traffic to kick up spray. And dual 100 watt headlamps are a mighty fine thing.

Cool old GSXR stuff that's not mine

Yosh magnesium triples

B-17 over The HQ

This thing tours every spring and is outrageous to hear. One time years ago I was sleeping on the east porch of my buddy's A-frame above Horsetooth Res. in Ft. Collins and woke up with this thing darn near eye level. Now that's the way to start the day.

An oldie but a goody.

Sometimes I do miss my dirt bike...

Things with Four Wheels

I Like old stuff.

Coming in hot.

New gauge and light mounts.

Directly to the forks and 3+" closer in. Stainless hardware and even more rock-steady than I would have thought. And $ out of pocket? Something like $30 or so...

Yep.

Finally took care of that pesky purple rear rim.

Nothing some decent prep, masking, and rattle-can engine paint can’t cure.

That and a wax on the tank.

Too bad the tranny turns out to be worked. Ugh.

Conversely, she carburates (even a word?) like a champ. The top-end feels tip-top.

Old stuff at Tumblr. Total rookie move.

Well now, I forgot how old this one is...

The interwebs are convoluted indeed.
