Tire and service prep for Colorado Springs

In support of Bagpiper and Master Firefighter Mike Skidmore's ride to Colorado Springs for the annual IAFF Firefighters Memorial ceremony, Unholy Motorsports slapped on some new rubber and serviced his Honda 750. Thanks to Mike Stork for the timely parts delivery and to Merlin for the continued guidance and support as I learn the craft of wrenching on 2-wheeled machines.

My Best Girl's New Bike

Picking this gem up in Manhattan the day of the DicE Mag release party. She's super excited, and it looks to be a great first bike for her. Send good karma our way, as we are taking the '65 C10 up there to pick it up and to trailer queen the Honda 73' CB500 (hardtailed by Mobtown, fabrication and the rest by Unholy- in progress).

Anyone with an idea on where to stay that's both ratty pickup and old bike friendly in Bklyn please leave a comment.

DicE

A few issues ago, DicE attached a stencil to the front cover of their magazine. Finally found a place to spray and display my favourite bike rag logo.

Tire Machine Install

Finally got the tire machine anchored and ready for business.

Wiring Job Done At Firehouse

Stopped in at 4 Corners (Fire Station 16, Montgomery Co MD) on the way home last night to help out good friend and tiller truck driver Kyle Holder. He needed a fix on the left turn signal and tag lights on his Chicky's bike . Now it will pass inspection and get Kyle back in her good graces.

This Saturday

B-There.

Can't get my mind off this photograph- decided to share it. Can't decide if it's because of the lighting, the road, or the mania of surfing a bike and trailer on dirt. . .

The documenting of a cross-country 'Trip'

During my most recent bender at Rocket, I ran into friend Chris Landers (a man who gave me a pair of leather pants a long time ago) and bugged him to tell me a story. To which he replied, have another drink and read THIS. I read it this morning; it's a story of his crossing the country on a KTM, tracing the route of C K Shepard, a man who crossed the country on two wheels a few years ago (1919). Anyway, I encourage you to check it out, as it may very well inspire you to do something crazy and rad as well. Below are some pics excerpted from his blog.

The C10 Now Purrs

Finally got around to replacin' the driver's side header gasket and bolts (the original setup was a shot gasket and only 4 of the 6 bolts.....lazy last owner). With a new welded exhaust (courtesy of Maryland Muffler) and this fix, she purrs like a kitten and runs like an alley cat.

Working like a midget on tall day

Old gasket. . . burned the hell up
