Missing Summer

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

My new Christmas tree.

I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. I hope Santa is good to everyone, and the new year brings you happiness and good health.

work trip to phx.

I got to travel to Phx Az. for current training. It was for air-cooled power train. We took a twin cam 96b motor down to the fly wheels pressed all bearing out measured everything and reassembled using the proper tools. I learned alot and refreshed my knowledge about some things. I also got to visit my friend Taz while i was there and see some sites. He and his friend Dan with some help are customizing his XL that he got hit on awhile back. Dan is very talented and a very cool guy. I'm sending him a peanut tank soon for some trick shit he has come up with. While there also checked out local stuff like Buddy Stubbs H.D. and the Hideaway bar and grill.

Ace Frehley!

The next  generation Ace fans.

My best friend in life and his son.

Last Saturday I had a chance to hang with my friend Steve his son Steven and my nephew Tristan. We went to Greensburg to the Palace Theater to see Ace Frehley. What a concert it was Ace sounded better than ever and the place was packed. Ace played most of the songs he wrote for Kiss, some other Kiss songs, and lots of his solo stuff, his band really kicks ass. After the show we stopped at Primanti Bros. and ate like hogs. Nothing better than Primantis at 1:00 in the morning. Life is short, you need to make time to be with friends and enjoy the moment.

Garage progress

Well finished the garage. Looks like a proper shop with undone projects littering the space. What can i say i have a serious motosickle problem. I can not leave nothing alone. The softail is sporting a half done xl front end and new chopped rear fender. The shovel frame is on the bench and getting some finishing touches before it goes to paint. The posters are hung with care hoping a new lift will get there. Could not help it. Christmas is close and the majority of riding season is gone. The middle age glide is next for cams and a amp for the radio. I know bikes are'nt pose to have radio's. But when i listen to SANTO! so does everybody else. Hey never said your suppose to like what i do.Oh yeah softail get new chrome fishtail bang bangs and window bars. My wife was amazed how much stuff i had tucked away in the basement. Problem is all my good tools are at work. I have a piss poor amount of santa claus tools at home.

This is down right badass

Operation Special Delivery: Harley-Davidson and Wounded Warrior Project ...

Ok I'm so proud to be involved with this. My dealership loaned the bikes for this P.R. video. I was asked to load the bikes into the plane which you see in the beginning of this video. It took 5 hours of shooting to get the 5 seconds you see of it. It was taken at the air hertige muesam in beaver falls. The plane was a vintage c-125 that flew in the vietnam war. That said, the plane blew a cylinder in Winston Salem N.C. and was grounded along with the bikes. The rest of the film was shoot in Jacksonville,Fla. home of the Wounded Warrior Project. The bikes were loaned by a dealership there. Still pretty cool.

Showing some Love.

Project Bad Ass Bagger.

As it was when Dave bought it.

Beautiful contrast between the wrinkle black and the silver.

Carbon fiber muffler.

Dave hand made the two into one pipe. Very nice work.

Big Inch motor.

Well I stopped at Dave's garage the other day, and got to see the progress on his bagger. This bike proves not all baggers are created equal. This bike has everything needed to get down the road fast and comfortable, including a big inch motor and a Baker six speed tranny. This bike is done right, no big dumb front tire or the usual nonsense. I could go on all day about things like the radio, the motor work etc. but you get the idea. This truly will be One Bad Ass Bagger.
