Geometry 101

I've finished the fabrication on the Friedrich Coupe. Now it goes back to the owner for a new motor and trans and shakedown. Then back here for teardown and paint etc. This has to be one of the meanest stances on a 32 coupe.

Mooneyes HRCS 2011

super stoked to be going back to Japan this year for the big show. This year is also cool because I'm building a bike for the show, and also it's the 20 year anniversary. If you've never been, this is the year to do it. Go show your support. Shige and the entire crew there put on an amazing show, and do alot for this crazy world we all live...

Scarab

1976 Yamaha XT500-The Scarab

This project started a few weeks ago. I heard about the Dirtbag Challenge,and my employee said he would stay after work and help me work on a bike for the buildoff. You have one month and a budget of $1,000(including the bike.) I was sitting on a pile of parts that was an XT500 that my friend Brian gave me, but I had no idea if it would run etc. Well my employee found one excuse after another not to stay late and ended up only putting in a couple hours on the bike, so it turned into me putting in stupid hours to try and get it done...And I still didn't get it to the show, cause I was operating on a couple hours sleep and I pretty much just suck...but the bike turned out cool, it's about to be blown apart for paint and polish etc, and then shipped off to Yokohama for the Mooneyes show, which is awesome especially since I've never built a Japanese bike before.
