I been ridin like a mad man!!!! Thank god that winter is over!!


So anyway, I feel like a moron. I bought this little drag specailties mirror. In the package the mirror has a blue color. I just figured it was one of those little plastic covers they put on to protect from scrathes and then u peel it off when you open the package. Well I have been pickin at the edge of the mirror for about 30 minutes and I am startin to think maybe the freakin mirror is blue!!! I cant get the edge to lift. I scratched the edge a bit with a nail and I cant really tell if it is a covering or what!!!


Any help?? Package has no info.

Went for a nice ride tonight. T-shirt, jeans, helmet.....perfect tempt, nice sunshine.


So I think I am gonna run down to Docs in Waterbury tomorrow and grab the round oil tank they have. They have the one with the battery box fabbed into it. I have been on the fence about this mod but I think its gonna look pretty bad ***. Leave it raw and call it done.


Will post pics when done.


I hate posts without pics too.


How about a flash back pic, when the monster was only a half monster.





Here is a cool one.

Well after $250 in parts and 10 hours of labor this is as close as I got to having a round oil tank. It was one thing after another with this c--k s--ker!!! I had to move things, make mounts, take it apart, move things again and when I thought I was done the goddam battery wouldnt fit in the box!!!!!! I basically pulled it out of the frame and through it in the woods, not really but almost. I then spent another six hours cutting new hoses, moving things back to where they were and putting the bike back to where it was at the begining of this little adventure. Oh well, could be worse I guess.


Looked cool for a few minutes.

Almost three years, 150,000+ views, and 849 posts. You've had only a couple of haters show up!! That is amazing. I would have thought there would be a lot more folks screaming about blasphemy and the unholy destruction of a perfectly good bike.

Up front I'll say this, I don't like the monster. It just looks unbalanced to me. With that said, I like the way you work and think. I like that you are willing to go down a path most are scared to even look down. I have enjoyed watching the progression of your work from the stocker you brought home to what you are riding this summer. Good work!!

If we all liked the same thing can you imagine how long the lines would be as we all tried to get those things? How would we ever be able to find our vehicles and bikes in the parking lot of the one store we all would be going to for our identical products? Wait, isn't it kind of like that at Wal-Mart now? Come to think of it, there wouldn't be cars and bikes in the parking lot because we would all be using the same set of wheels.

Stay out there and keep doing what you are doing.
