  • Back to my old habits

  • Some Progress

    I’ve got the rear of the bike basically torn down. Starting to look at the front. The instrument cluster looks like kind of a pain. I also was sure that I was going to ditch the airbox in favor of pods like the inspiration bikes below. It appears, however, that the internet is fairly unanimous…

  • Maybe this color scheme?

    I really like my watch. Maybe a silver tank and tail with a peek of orange on the frame?

  • Vision

    I’ve got a couple of inspiration bikes out there that I thought I’d share. I totally want the overall stance of this bike: As far as details, I really like the re-use of the lower tank mounts for the choke and ignition on the Cafe Racer Dreams CB750s: And I’m totally going to rock the…

  • Not as great a deal …

    I’ll add some pics later, but I’ve got the tank and seat off the bike and I’ll say that the “gently used” comment in the last post is a misnomer. It’s got some notable (surface) rust on the frame and the generator cover was bunged-up and leaky. A new one is on the way. I…

  • Protecting kids into ignorance

    I thought this was an interesting article. In defense of dangerous toys indeed! There are some really good points made.

  • Holy crap – Drone Wars

    This is how we’ll really all die. Yikes!
