Good Investment

Went down to mcnees enterprises for a stick of metal to make some bars. Ended up getting 7 and a half feet for 25 bucks. Some cuts and some welds and id say it was damn well worth it!

my 05 rubbermount sporty chop!

okay. so i wanted a harley. everyone does right? well my dumbass jumped the gun a bit too hard and picked up an 05 sportster from a guy i worked with at the time. wanted to chop it up but basically the rubbermounted engine bummed me out. well after a mild chop cause i was bored, it just wasn't enough. so i picked up my balls. and said "fuck it" let's chop it up! here it is.

biggest, most worthless backbone ever.

seat i made.

rootbeer brown flake, and some flat black.

here's the finished product. vibrated the shit out of me. but it was fun as all hell.

sold this first of the summer 2011. made a little bit off it and bought an older one.

i am in the process of ordering some parts and gonna hammer down this winter. pics will definitely follow.

Weekend Build.

thats right. we are some pretty driven mf'ers when we wanna be. wayne picked up this kawasaki 750 in goden for well under a grand. we had to dub this bike "the wheelie rider" no shit. thing rides wheelies like no ones business.  here's the pics of the weekend chop!

disgusting!!!

mush, much better.

wayne and his green flake paint. haha!

this was built in a weekend solid. no joke.

wayne always impresses me.

Cody The Squid.

so im gonna start this one out with a little story about cody "squid" langford.
i'll keep it short cause it's a long story so here's the readers digest version...

so this random kid "squid" drives up see's the rods and wants to check em out.
starts hangin out, were thinkin he's a pretty cool kid. eager to learn. wants to chop up his bike.
and is antsy as fuck.
so we show him the shop wich had about 2 rods and 3 bikes at the time and the kid lit up!
i told him i'd build his frame for free to help him out cause he's a cool kid that doens't have much.
(great decision by the way)got his bike built and we have rode some great miles together.
so anyways, enough rambling from me. here's some shit thats actually worth looking at. (i suppose)

once again... what we started with.

here's my favorite part. i call it the "west valley jig"

top tubes welded up

i even let squid do a lil weldin of his own.

frame all welded. super slammed.

we got bored with some spray paint and some 3m tape.

"rattle panels"

nasty little thing. squid says "this is what happens when you build a bike out of anger"

indian larry style. kid is crazy.

squid, im super stoked you stopped by that day. you're a treat to ride with and a great friend.
