 Started on another bike down at the CHKC shop last night.It started out as an XS400 that has been mated up to a springer front end.Guy is lookin to leave that 70's,non rake look.Front end ain't to tall but tall enough to give it a lift.But it's also gonna stay stock length so it won't be very long at all. Should be able to get it tacked together tonight and maybe get to finish it up tomorrow.I'll snap a few pics when it's done.

Exhausted

After hours...

Did these pipes for CHKC Wally last week down at the shop.They still need a bit of modification to be finished but so far so good.

Sold

Heading out...

Got some pic's this morning of the latest CHKC rat,the "Fire Turd" heading to Cali then off to it's new owner in Japan. Safe trip!

 The guy just happen to have stopped at Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler's place on the way to the shop to pick up his old Indian Larry trike that was also heading to a new owner in Cali.

HELP

Help a brotha out!!!
Now this may sould lame to all the cool kids that don't get on the book but listen,I have an ongoing bet with Jay @ Choppahead that I can't get 500 "LIKES" on Facebook by this Saturday.Do me a favor and hit it up for me because 1, it's a bad ass shop but 2, because it will help me make a buck.

I win,the beers on me people!

Wally's and Dinah's big adventure
Anyone that show's up to the Northeast Motorcycle Expo's knows that when you find the Choppahead spot,it's usually a party in progress.Well this year since I'm puttin in work down there at night we went up together and we also got set up in one encampment.It was mostly just people hangin out on the couch,rollin around in my wheel chair or laided out in lawn chairs at all times,untill Saturday night when these two got crap ass drunk on Vodka and started a porn shoot that gathered a crowd of at least 50 people including press photog's snappin pic's and also attracted the likes of Dave Perewitz,one of his Hampster buddy's and his wife,who got in on it,and show staff who were just itchin to call the fuzz once they saw a titty pop out.All in all it was a good night,for everyone but them.See we didn't sleep in the A-team van all night in 34 degree's on a January night in N.E. 
 Glad you kids had fun...

 Notice she has that cup in every shot.Clutched it like a drunken fuckin eagle!

Good time!

Expo

Interesting weekend

 Great Googaly Moogaly I am a fuckin mess right now.This last weekend nearly killed me.The Northeast Motorcycle Expo rolled into Boston and as usual I went with all intentions of ruining it for everyone there,well at least a few.It started out last week down at Choppahead.We were rushing to get a bike done for the show.Here at my place I was waiting on a delivery of shirts to come to try and get a few some early to make it to the show with a few bucks in my pocket.Thursday we loaded up Truths H-D in the van

and Wally crashed at the shop to be ready to head up to unload at the show.He got so drunk he slept till noon.It was pouring fuckin rain all day so I didn't get my bike loaded till almost 3 when he got here.Between the weather and the shit ass traffic we didn't get to the place till 7pm.See,thing is we had to make a second trip for two more bikes.Knowing that we weren't makin it in time we headed back to the shop to load them up and drop them in the morning early.Long story short we got shit housed till about 2 then went back to my place were we drank till 4,crashed and woke up late nearly missing the load in window all together.
 This show was so much better than R.I. One,Boston is the biggest show and Two,they had two of the guys from SOA there to sign autographs

and all that BS so of course the place was packed with horned up housewife's looking to give a blowjob out back to a actor who plays a biker on tv and  40 something year old guys out on a man date to meet they're heroes and try and get patched in.My favorite shirt was the "SOA Redwood Original/Massachusetts chapter"?!? How does that work?Anyway there were a a bunch of cool bikes at this show but unfortunately I was to hung over Saturday and too drunk Sunday to take any pics.I stole some from here and there so here they are.I'll try and get a few up later of the good stuff.

If you saw this you know,it was difficult to watch.Wally and Dinah got so cocked that they started nearly screwing on the couch at the show.I come back from the head and there is a crowd watching them and takin pics.Dave Perewitz is standing there with one of his "Hampster" club buddy's and the guy and his wife go over,sit on the couch and take a pic with them.That is the guys wife in the red pants makin out with Dinah and I think that is Wally's hand on her ass...WTF

Did I forget to mention that I got 1st place in my class by Cycle Source Magazine for the Triumph...
