Excuse the delay...

I've been living, making memories, my laptop just ain't jiving and I haven't slowed down to clean it up.  I will resume the regular posts and meaningless diatribe shortly.  Until then, carry on, raise hell, and get out and ride your bikes.  Ride 'em, don't hide 'em. 

Here's some shots of some random adventures, antics, trips, and storytelling in no particular order.

Big wheel keep on turnin'...

"This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burnin"

They spin now.  They need some more attention, but until I get a few more pieces just "One piece at a time" well, it'll have to do for now.  

Johnny Cash said it best..."One piece at a time"

 Some excerpts from one of my all time favorite songs...

"One day I devised myself a plan...

I'd get it one piece at a time....

And it wouldn't cost me a dime...

With my big lunch box and with help from my friends...

And with a little bit of help from an A-daptor kit...

I got it one piece at a time

And it didn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me when I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style

I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only one there is around

Ha, you might just say I went on up to the factory and picked it up!"

Blown Head Gasket on the Sportster

Rode to Memphis to see a friend riding to Alabama from Sturgis and blew the head gasket on the rear.

Time to get to work.  

The Confederate

The 1977 Confederate Edition, produced one year after the Liberty Editions in '76.  The bikes are about as rare if not more so, and a hell of a lot less well known.  They were actually pretty controversial at the time of production.  

Warp Speed

Hit speeds of up to mach 11 before heading out to the Mothership!

Switcheroo...Relocation of handlebar switches on 96 XL 1200

Not much to share in the way of how this was done.  Ignition switch, hi-lo beam toggle, starter button, some scrap aluminum angle, rewire, screw switches on, sit back have a cold one and enjoy.  

On a serious note though, I'm probably about to redo the whole thing and make it at least half this size with different switches and polish the aluminum.  Some times it takes a second swing, but I was ready to get this mofro on the road! That Spring weather and the smell of Wisteria put a rush on me.
