Rode to Deus

Rode out a while back with my buddy Adam (he's got a nifty blog called Steam of Unconsciousness.  Just, you know, a casual sunny day ride.  Bopped in to Venice for a minute.  It was nice.  Riding down to the Street Chopper/Wes White shingdig tomorrow.  Maybe I'll remember to take some pics.

Party Time!!!!

At this point I am sure most of us have heard about what happened to Wes White from Four Aces and the resounding help out effort.  Well let's just keep that support train rolling, come on down this Saturday to the Street Chopper party cause it will be a good time, for a good cause, with good people, at a good place.  See, it's all good.

Loser Machine

Went to the Loser Machine Sample Sale last Friday mornin'.  Good times, good people, good clothes.  Pretty funny, when I got there I saw a ton of people walking out with bags and bags of clothes and I thought, "Holy crap, there are a ton of people here.  Am I gonna have to wait in line to get in?!?"  I turned a corner and there I saw it, a ton of people waiting in a line as long as Splash Mountains' at Disneyland.  I thought, "Seriously, who knew?"  But then I soon realized, oh wait, seems Obey is having their sample sale at the same time and the same place and that long ole line if for them.  I looked to the right and there in all its glory was the Loser Machine sample sale.  I am happy to report, I walked right in.  Even bought myself a tank top.  On my way out I chatted with the Born Free peeps.  Ah yes, Good Times!

Been Slow, Bike Good

Its been a bit slow around here (at least in terms of the bike, cause other than that it seems I have been busy as hell).  Here are some sweet pics of The Good Times with the new sissy bar on.  More posts to come.

New Sissy Bar

I needed a new sissy bar for the summer trips and opted for a classy little number (read affordable) that works.  Yes I would love to get a 30"-er but they are pretty spendy and look a bit obnoxious just riding a round town.  Although I will say they do work well to pack up all you stuff.  But as it stands his bad boy will have to work.

How She Stands

 

That Stupid Horn

After the front fender was off, I was pretty hot to trot and wanted to get that stupid horn off of there.  That thing had been an eye sore to me almost as much as that screaming eagle air cleaner is (but that is for another day), so with full wind in my sail and the manual at the ready, I took that horn right off.

There it is just staring me in the face

Did a little disconnecting

Did some unscrewing and off came the horn

Relocated the choke.  This is actually a pretty good place for it for now.  I like it.  It will be a good spot till one day I relocate the coil and then I will move it over to the carb top with a bracket, but for now, it's coo baby.

Soooooo much nice with out the chrome horn

I had to do a little jimmy rigging with the wires.  It was too much trouble to take them completely out and I figured this would be a better solution that just cutting them.  So I taped them up and then zip tied them inside the bracket.  Out of the way and works great!

Goodbye Front Fender

With the new seat on it was just a quick little jaunt to No-Fender Town.

Much Cleaner

New Seat!!!!!!

My new seat finally came today and I was so pumped to put it on!  I ordered it off "eyay!" (if you know what I mean) and its an old factory tuck and roll 2up.  I might get a solo down the road but I wanted something Christa and I can ride together on.  I mean you gotta have your woman on the back of your bike.  Plus I got a supa fly deal on it.  Thank you eyay! and thank you guy in middle America for getting rid of such an awesome seat that you kept in such great condition just for me!

Here was my old factory pillow monster

Here is a side by side of the two

Here is with the old seat and then now the new seat.  I also took off the pillow pad on the small sissy bar.
