Is all that's left until me and my two hombres pack our goods and head north to pick up another bike that I got on a trade. '65 Triumph Bonneville..

I'm thinking swing arm and enduro tires, street legal though...with a side of fries.

Bars man, bars.

2012-01-15T22:24:00.001-08:00

Finally found the perfect bars for my Triumph, only took 13 sets and a year of countless mockups.

Timeless

2011-11-23T00:22:00.000-08:00

Back when bikes weren't built to wow anybody, but built to make noise and raise hell. I sort of stuck to this simple recipe with my '68 T100r. I wanted to build something I could grab a fist full of throttle on, and be able to dodge and dart around anything that stood in my path. My bike does the job, and then some.

Ventured out to Fort Jackson last weekend for a bit of fun with a few friends. We were chuckin cut bait about 100 yards off the bank into about 40 feet of water. Mississippi River slicks and slews hold some giants. Landed this 77lb blue at about 3am. I think we're just gonna roll around on motorcycles and hot rods and put rod holders on EVERYTHING.

I almost bought this car a few years back. It's my friend Eddy's '36 Ford Coupe. Bagged on a 4 link in the rear and dropped stock suspension up front. 350/350 combo to boot. This is to date, the third '36 coupe that has slipped out of my grasps. I'll have one, one day.

DOWN AND BLUE

2011-05-29T16:07:00.001-07:00

Awesome picture. Looks to be late '50s. I'm guessing this car was originally built sometime in the early '50s, judging by the flathead and simplistic interior (from what I can see.) Paint and rolling stock were probably added somewhere down the line to keep up with the changing fads....

....I bet this rattle trap hauled ass.

Close...

2011-05-28T18:27:00.000-07:00

Few more odds and ends, including lacing my 21" wiring nick nacks, and some asthetic changes and we got a runner folks. Onto the next one.

I haven't seen my buddy Thomas in a couple years now, really starting to miss the guy. We used to bomb around in his '32 coupe and have a good old time. He even let me drive it once when we were doing shakedown runs after fixing cleaning his carbs. That was the coolest thing I've ever done in my life. He's a street rod teacher at WyoTech, one time we built some tall bikes and spray painted them purple and green, and rode around in the huge WyoTech shop at like 2am with Jackson 5 blaring on the shop stereo system, good times! Miss ya buddy.

I really have a soft spot for these style bikes. Black paint, nothing special, over front end, 2 up seat, sissy bar and friscod tank. Like someone whipped this thing up in their house or something. I grew up around bikes like these. My next one will have this same feel.

The life

2011-01-18T21:02:00.000-08:00

I do alot of pointless posts on this thing that doesn't really matter to anyone but myself. I guess I felt like putting more depth into this one.

Life at the moment is pretty great for the most part, aside from gas prices going up and blah blah blah all the stuff that everyone complains about. My mom and dad are getting a new vehicle sometime this month which is pretty exciting. Their last ride was an '06 Chevy Silverado and they babied it so, it's only got about 25,000 miles. Seems like they want to pass that one down to me which is a godsend. My old F-150 is a burley old girl but I don't think she has much left. Seems like I have to fix something every couple weeks, maybe it's time to put her down. I found that truck shortly after I blew up my old '55 Bel-Air on the highway while bringing some friend's home one night. Only thing I plan on doing with the Silverado is keeping it clean, keeping up on maintnence and sticking a nice little stereo in it, something I can plug my iPod into.

I got a new job with my buddy Jordan over in New Orleans East at the old Bunny Bread Factory (Flower Foods) Finally a legit long term job that I can really sink my teeth into. Thank God for Jordan man, I would've never been able to get my foot in the door without him. It was either that or join the Coast Guard. I was at my witt's end with dead end construction and welding jobs. Flower is offereing full benefits along with a certification in Refridgeration and Electric. I'll be working along side a few other really great guys too which should be fun. My official title is an engineer. I'll be building and repairing the workings of Flower Foods, lots of TIG welding stainless steel, reading blueprints, running electrical systems and repairing refridgeration units in the factory. It might sound like a drag to most people but I'm really looking foward to getting in there and figuring shit out.

The weather here is wigging me out to no extent, one day it's warm and sunny, next day it's cold and drabby. I guess Mother Nature is on the rag or something, hopefully it levels out soon. I'm dying for warmer weather. Warmer weather for me means one thing, fishing. My buddies and I are absolutely DYING to go fishing soon, if not we'll probably kill eachother or someone else. I bought some new fishing gear over the last couple weeks and every day I see it sitting in my room and I die a little on the inside. I grew up on the water, fishing and stuff with my dad and his friends so it's in my blood. Sometimes I wake up early in the morning and go sit on my back porch and just smell the air, you can almost smell the marsh in the air sometimes. It's hard to explain, it's like a mixture of natural swamp gas and salt water...it's weird. I remember as a little kid being so ancy all night to go fishing the next morning that I didn't sleep at all. My dad would come in my room and let me know it's time to get our gear ready for fishing. We'd pile our crap into the truck and head over to his friend Dave's house to pair up with him and pick up his boat. Hitting the docks around 5:30am, sun not even up yet. I'd help Dave launch the boat and tie it up to the dock, that was my job man and I was good at it for being so little. Hearing Dave crank up the boat and let it warm up as we talked about what spots to hit first to find the fish. The smells, the sounds, the people you'd meet out there was like no other. We'd get out to the fishing hole just as the sun was poking up, horse flies would be biting the shit out of us but we didn't care, we were fishing. In the distance you could hear other guys fishing in neighboring canals hootin and hollerin about their wives or work, or their boats. Whatever was on their minds. Coonasses man, thick accents and no bullshit attitudes. Gotta lovem. I'll never forget those times in all my life man. I hope whenever I have a kid of my own that I can do the same thing with him or her.

I don't know, I think I talked enough. I gotta get to bed soon, I start my job tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous but I know everything will be cool, my pops told me so. All in all, life rules. Stop and smell the roses sometime, and enjoy the little things in life, those are what matter most.

Yeah buddy

2011-01-18T00:30:00.000-08:00

...comes in all forms. For home brewed hot rods, one of the top 5 for me is Marky's '30 modified. Built on a tight budget in his driveway. Notice it's not 30 feet long with skulls and rat rod crap hanging off of it... it's just the bare essentials of what a hot rod should be, black paint, steel wheels, SBC breathing through six Holley 94s... nothing fancy, no frills, no bullshit, just all business. Built with three things in mind.. noise, speed, and fun.......this is what it's all about man. You either get it or you don't. Check out Marky and Arie's site http://www.ruffrodders.com/

Found a new job and wrapping up the bike build.

2010-08-23T14:27:00.000-07:00

Haven't logged on in here for a while. Roadster is still at a standstill due to rings and timing gear MIA in the mail. Should be here soon, shit was on backorder. Shoulda known that, .20 over rings for a '54 239 Y-block isn't exactly something you can buy at Autozone.

In the meantime I picked up this 1969 Triumph T-100 to play with. Hopefully between my uncle and myself thrashing on it I can have it up and running within a couple months. Plan is for a Wassel style peanut tank (deep tunnel) ribbed rear fender, 2"/1" DB hardtail, 18" rear with 19" front. No front brake, blah blah blah. Should be a cool little bike when I'm through with it.

Other than that I haven't been up to much. Working alot! Can't complain.

Here's the bike!

It's that time again...
