Theft

During the hurricane some piece of shit stole my cell phone outta my truck so if any of you guys need to get a hold of me just email me your cell numbers to jlong0099@yahoo.com. I got my work phone still but no power at my house.

Check it out

So I sent a lid to Wes at custom destruction for some relining. Told Wes to keep it simple and do what ever he wants. Now I sent this helmet to him with no liner. Just a shell. Let me tell ya. It's a mighty fine job. Fits great. The liner is super sick. Couldn't believe how quick he banged it out. And the cost was right on. Hit him up! Www.customdestruction.com
Oh and thanks again Wes!

Hurricane Irene

So we got it pretty light over my way. Had my girl, her son, and a couple of my homies in and outa my house. Never lost power. Generator was on stand by in case things got too outa hand. Booze staid flowing. Seemed like we couldn't have enough safety meetings. A shit ton of laughs. Wasn't no where near the hype. Thank God. Heard some horrible stories bout other peoples luck. Hope all is well since it's over. Here is a pic of the storm approaching...

Sunday Mornin Wood.

Got this gnarly lil wake up call this mornin, Fred at Fulton Paint Works has been puttin his trippy twist on my coffin, man, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't like a kid on christmas eve. This shit is gonna be wild. Check out his work, and Stay tuned.

Road Whip Mountain Run

Just got back from a 1,500 mile or so trip. I rode out to Tennessee, then rode the whole Blue Ridge Parkway and part of Skyline Drive into the Shenandoah National Park. Rode the Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap, and the Diamondback in Little Switzerland. If you've never done those two roads, you need too. It was some of the most intense riding I've ever done. Would like to have done it on the chop but logistically the bagger was the best choice for the trip. The Bastard Bash was going on so I did get to see some cool old school iron while I was at Deal's Gap. But those curvy mountain roads got me thinking about picking up a used sport bike sometime. The sport bikes were ripping it up on The Dragon and had me thinking about my old crotch rocket days. But I did alright out there for an old fat guy on a bagger. One of my homies had a camera on his bike when we rode The Dragon, so if I get the video I'll post it up. Got some more pics too.

Still waitin on inspection.../ Helmet for sale.

Tryin to get this thing registered and the damn DMV wants every receipt ever made on this thing! Not only did I wait 3 months for the MSO, but I have to wait another 2 weeks for the DMV inspection to register it. Oh, and I have a Biltwell Megaflake Green helmet for sale. I bought it but it is to nice for my head.

SPEECHLESS!!!!

So I work as this "biker bar" for the past 3 years. One of the owners has wanted it to be a real biker bar for a long time.. Well he recently got his wish.. The rest of the owners went into panic mode and this was their solution.. WTF!!! Is it socialism In effect, or just a bunch of fake ass people that don't have the testicular fortitude to deal with the reality that they wished for...

La Familia

This weekend was all about family and my extended family. The Crude Crew helped my folk with some projects around their house and then we all celebrated with lots of food, booze and beer. McMuscles broke the record for B-B-Q sandwiches by eating 10. Holy shit was what we said and he was screaming from the crapper the next morning. Haha. We chilled on the porch and finished the night off with a little fire in the back yard. But most of all I want to say thanks to Poppa Steve, Dan, Wes, Johnny, and Justin for coming out. Wish those that had to work could have made it. Maybe next time. FAMILY FIRST!!! and this weekend proved that. THANKS GUYS

It's been slow

Progress but after some serious paint work on the cases, jugs, and heads then some powder coated rocker boxes we finally got the motor sorta together. With the help of a case of coores original, a case of tecate, a few safety meetings Brock, and buzzard the 73 is finally making some progress. Brock did some pointing and grunting and some how I managed to understand what he was tryin to say and we got the bike completely replumbed. It was slow and steady you can understand why if ya read the second line. Now hopefully my rear fender shows up tomorrow from the powder coater. Yea I powder coated my rear fender. My boy Jim hooks it up and is tryin to match the tank I have. Plus it was cheaper then payin a painter to do it. Once that arrives rewiring begins. Then bolt down the motor, apply pipes, safety meeting, and hopefully fire! Probly skipped some things but those are minor. Doin our best to have this jewel ready for next weeks schananagans. Owell. I'm blabbering. So on a better note safety first.

bad vibrations.

makes this the last time i ever take advice from a swede. with the help from a good friend, i'm puttin a motor plate between the motor and trans, replacing busted trans plate, and puttin a 47 tooth rear on, hope to be back in society's way sometime next week.

the fix: new tranny plate, and added in a torque plate to the mix, should stabilize and put me back in business. Big thanks to bob, mad man on the lathe for knockin out the spacers and the mill work hook up on my mainshaft bearing support.

For sale

My buddy has his bike for sale. This thing is Rad! His shop is here in FL and is called Kick Rocks Motor Co. I can snap more shots later. It is on ebay too under kickrocksmotorco. Let me know!

Cool Cops

Got a little departure present while leaving Alabama from a State Trooper this morning. 65 in a 45 work zone and I got off with a warning. Who says that the man can't be cool.
