Hangover..

What's the best way to cure a Halloween Hangover? How about a 5 Hour, 200 mile twisty motorcycle ride through some of California's most scenic canyons...

I don't know about this.

Jen snapped off a couple of pics from her vantage point.

Still miles to go.

Happy Halloweenie! (Part 1)

Well, it's that time of year again. Where you try to figure out what the hell you are gonna dress up as but end up throwing something together last minute. So into the closet we went, and out came the Gi!

Don't know how I ended up with bats on my head but, whatever, its Halloween!

Baby Brains...

And the smoking Gorilla!

That aint no bottle of milk he's got there

Happy Halloweenie! (Part 2)

Dave can stall for days!

Two chicks I wouldn't mess with!

Bubba!

Tony and Ashley got on a train to LA dressed like this. One of the stops was COMPTON!

Da crew!

Wrap those pipes!

I guess hearing the news that Buell will be discontinued has made me want to work on the streetfighter a little bit more. Wrapping the pipes has been on the agenda for a while and I just never got around to it. So I called up Chun to help me tear the bike apart and drink some red stripes.

Both bikes in shambles. What a nightmare. I don't even know what I'm doing.

Finally got the headers off after having to drop the whole engine. Wrapped those bad boys and started the bake-off.

Figured I'd paint the muffler while I was at it.

Ventura Mission

Bought a new surfboard. The Santa Cruz G-Deck. Supposed to be like a skateboard on water so I called up Seantiago and we went for a little Ventura C-street session to test her out.

Sun was setting but the waves were still holding.

Board feels pretty good. I'm gonna leave it set up as a twin. Da buggah is loose!

Baby got back!

Ok so today I decided to chop the ugly rear tail section that comes on stock buell lightnings. I didn't take any before pictures so if you wanna see what I'm talkin about just google image search "buell lightning" and take a look at the ridiculous tail on that thing.

A good garage session always starts with good beer.

Here's the culprit! The center tail section after I de-wired it and got it off the bike.

I'm not sure the best way to cut aluminum, but the angle grinder worked out.

Now I had to shave it down to look somewhat presentable because its goin back on a pretty good lookin bike.

Here it is installed on the bike with the brake light and signals hooked up.
I also had to make a quick license plate mounting bracket but failed to get pictures of it. Anyway, I think the small booty looks better than the big one..

Hawaii Part 1.

Our chariot across the ocean.. We were gonna be flying right over Hurricane Felicia so I wasn't sure if this was the last time my feet would be on solid ground. Oh well, roll the dice..

Felicia was makin some cool cloud formations. I didn't catch most of 'em but this shot is all right.

First thing to do in Hawaii. Go to the North Shore, grab an Acai bowl from this place.

Even the gnome was stoked!

Cookin up some dinner at Dyson's new pad!
