Oh the weather outside is weather



Will this winter ever end? All I want to do is go ride in the sun, yet mother nature has her own agenda. Well it has given us time to get more done on our bikes, and add a few more... I just picked up a running(that's a first) 77'RD400 and I must say I think I'm in love. Skye has been hard at work(or at least drinking hard) on his triple, still waiting on those pipes... My good friend Max has taken possession of the old cafe'd 79 XS400. He will be rebuilding it to fit his style, and learning all about the joys of motorcycle ownership. It's always a treat getting more people into riding, and I'm glad to watch my first bike go through the transformation once again. Hopefully we will have some video soon, and maybe get a ride in as well. As always keep the rubber side down.

Back to the grind

Holding on to a grinder and filing for 3 hours gets you a pile of scrap metal, a clean looking frame, and arthritis.

4 cashed cutoff discs, 2 flapper wheels and lower back pain.
X Files...

Necessity is the mother of invention

We needed a tool to clean up the rough edges left on aluminum after the bandsaw. Being strapped for cash due to bills(beer) we could not afford the super high quality harbor freight router, and seeing as we are smart(stubborn) and creative(cheap) lads we decided to make our own... All said and done it cost us $30 and a little bit of time. 

Lack of passion is fatal

Some inspiration around the shop, might stir some passion to get busy working?
