Sweet Lil Pan

Hey folks! Life has been way too busy lately. The boy took his Shovel and traded it for this sweet Pan. The old man sold his Rocket III to a bloke from New Zealand who departed today for So Cal and parts unknown for a three week trip and is shipping it back to his home land. I got some shots of the Pan when we got home yesterday and met up with the kid. Here's the result...
Not obsolete, but incredibly cool, here's our recently sold Triumph Rocket III
And hopefully it won't be so long till I get more shots to post here.

This is the Shit~ My Kid's Trophies for a Charity Event

My son makes the baddest trophies ever. I have tried to tell him they would sell to the guys who have all these runs and give out plaques or trophies for the events like slow race and best bike contests. You tell me...






All of the trophies are hand made from broken bike parts. When he's done making the sculpture, he pinstripes them, puts a "plaque" for the event and clear coats them. Each one is unique and not to be repeated as it is from whatever old parts he has in the box. So, is it the shit or what???

Fixin Halsey's Sporty

Halsey (hope I got the spelling right) came by on Sunday afternoon to get some repair work done on her Sporty. Jesse, Mark and Dave Silva (thanks Dave) spent most of the afternoon and evening fixing lights, fork seals and muffler. She trekked home in the cold to SF early Sunday night ... Hope you made it home ok and it was not too bad. How's the fix? Here's a couple of shots - all I took before we split to dinner.




Jesse at the helm. He also put some muffler time in when he got the forks back full of oil.
You can see more of what Jesse is doing at his blog . Hoping to get some new shop photos soon. Keep checking in and thanks to the folks who subscribed to this blog. Your support means a lot.

Unfinished Projects 2012 ~ SF Moto and Bay Area Vintage Riders dot com

What I think I like about the way I set up this blog is that I don't have to say anything. Just post some pictures. I know it's been awhile, but hey, it's been a while and I've been kinda busy. So to make up for it, here's all I got last night at the SF Moto's Unfinished Projects show. Now, I did take a pic of a cool ass '29 JD, but I had to get blockers to hold me a spot on the floor just for that. It was packed inside that place! I got a shot of a killer sculpture in the door way on the way out but mostly I got stuff from outside.... well hell.... I will stop tellin ya and just post it. Later.
