parts hauler almost ready

It's been sitting for way too long, but my '62 is finally getting closer to being road ready...

A little more floor work, put the new gas tank in, rig up some kind of seat cover and we're good to go.  Might try to get it a little lower too.

winter time is build time?

well I had an ironhead, then a triumph, and now I have a shovelhead...

the day I picked it up, with a seat and fender I had lying around:
 
 
Pretty excited to get started on this one.  Now I'm off to pick up some paint stripper :)

sweet pick-up

The suicide front with the rear axle pushed so far foward to keep everything short, the bored olds with 4 2's, white interior w chrome dash, channeled 3" over a home-made frame, chrome reverse with bullet centers... perfect

confusion

Just when I think I want a tracker, I see another beautiful triumph chop that changes my mind... again.

evo

Randonmly thinking about this bike, i think one of my favorite evo sportsters.  19" k180s front and rear, built motor, the t bars, high peanut, narrow seat - an evo is not old why not let it be modern.  Photos from GKM #15...

Random chopper sighting

Kz750 with a long girder and a tiny front wheel parked in front of the gym.  Frame was kind of sketchy but the dude said it was his only means of transportation, pretty cool to see that around here...

Beautiful weather...

... and my bike is sitting in the garage waiting on a new back tire to replace the shredded one.
