Fuck Winter!

Longtime friend, and R4YL supporter, Redbone bought a church a couple years ago. We've been doing some major work to it, and would like to extend the invitation for you all to check it out!

been slacking on shop updates... plenty of stuff going though. Got the Jart all wrapped up & on the road, and then ran into some kicker problems... Parts on the way, should be back in action next week. Bike is running and riding great though! No more wheel hop/death shake!

Got the new heart in the Meatjammer, and ripped it down the road to find it only shifts 1-3, no 4th or 5th gear. UGH! so, tore the 'new' engine back out of the bike, completely dissassembled and also tore down the 'old' engine to do a trans swap. Shifter fork was the culprit, but old gearset looked better, so i just swapped it all (output shaft is also different length (new engine is pre-77)) Yuck...

Cases power washed and ready for assembly

Old trans in the new cases, ready for crank and case half assembly.

Been Helping Outlaw get his shovel back in shape, pulled the top end, new pistons/rings and new valves/springs. New 3.5 tanks, got the forks all mounted up and headlight nacelle on. Baby steps...

Mama Tried (part III)

Last segment from the Mama Tried Show. Sunday was supposed to feature ice racing, but with the unseasonably warm temps in Milwaukee, ice was a scarce commodity. The racing was 'cancelled' but I got word from Josh & Nick that they were gonna go somewhere and have fun with the bikes, ice or not. So we followed the procession of vans/trucks/trailers to some shipyard for some fun. Just as everyone started to get unloaded and ready, they started packing up again. Apparently someone had found some ice south of the city! So we followed them to Lily Lake, where there was a nice chunk of ice and a bar waiting for us! Tires were changed, wrenches were turned and soon the guys were making slushies with their studded tires. Nick even let me take his flathead for a rip later in the afternoon. What a great time! Josh, Brian & Nick getting the '45 ready!
