Barn find??

This is the one known as STINKFOOT. I started this project back when I was in college, changed directions a few times and then decided to thrash on it to make it to Autorama 2 years ago....and havent really touched it since. While it has been stored at my buddys barn for the past year, I just about have the engine finished and hope to make progress on it as a whole during the dreaded cold months.
Finally back home.

Hibernation

Winter is coming quick, so I took a break from working on my house to get the garage in order this past weekend. Insulation and drywall was the plan....but beer proved to be in there too. Made some good progress for a full Saturday and spent most of today hacking up insulation fibers and drywall dust so I didnt feel up to finishing it, but I figure one more good day and it will be complete...
The work truck

Breaks between beers
All in a days work

I love me some stickers...especially of vintage variety. Went to an estate sale last weekend and found a stash...Some really cool old speed shop ones

From the bubblevisor blog. Are vintage race bikes the next big thing?

FTF

Free Slurpie with every new harley!

"As expected, Harley-Davidson is launching operations in India to assemble motorcycles for the Indian market from component kits supplied by its U.S. plants. The Company expects the CKD (complete knock-down) assembly facility to be operational in the first half of 2011.
For Harley-Davidson, assembling motorcycles in India is to avoid paying steep tariffs and taxes on the imported motorcycles in the country.These tariffs and taxes make bikes sold in India double the price of a US assembled Harleys, putting the motorcycles way out of reach of most Indian bikers. In 1999, the company started an assembly plant in Brazil. The India operation will be the second out of the US where motorcycle frames, engines, and other components from the United States are shipped for complete assembly in a foreign market. Can we expect more in the near future? Probably, knowing that 32% of Harley’s motorcycle sales are outside of the United States, mainly in Japan, Canada and Europe. The company’s goal is to increase foreign sales to 40% by 2014. Harley-Davidson India commenced operations in August 2009 and opened its first dealership in July 2010. To impose its religion in India, the Company currently has 4 places of worship (dealers in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh and Hyderabad) and is offering 12 models in its 2010 line-up"

Harley keeps loosing market share in the states... shocker.. Willie G should be fucking beaten.

SB8R

These are just plain fuckin rad bikes. Take a TL1000 v-twin powerplant, and insert it into a carbon fiber clad italian race chassis...

and then add the kick ass ram air scoop things and you get the Bimota SB8R.

125hp and 385lbs dry, these were wicked machines when they were made in 99'.
Eat your heart out Lance...

Costumed

I went to a Halloween store today...They had a Porter costume. On sale. I bought it.
