  Hey, Just back from the El Camino Antique Motorcycle Swapmeet, here in Los Angeles. It was the biggest ever with 100 bikes in the show and a full compliment of swapmeet vendors. We entered two bikes, the 5-Ball racing Peashooter and Nyla’s Bobber by Kent Weeks at Lucky Devil. We didn’t place, but Tom […]

Hey, Life is strange and hectic. We constantly ask ourselves, “Can we do more?” I thinks it’s a question much of our society is asking. You have your family and a job, maybe a project (like a chopper), a religion, a charity you look after, a club, community activities, a pet or two, and maybe

Hey, It’s a holiday weekend and I’m scrambling to write a couple of book chapters. I returned from Bonneville to discover a missed HORSE deadline, and holiday offers on my computer, as if an evil haunting omen. Fuck, it’s the first of September, not November. Then there’s Las Vegas Bikefest at the end of the

  Hey,             Another crazed morning in paradise. We are now carving into the week we depart for the mighty Salt Flats. One bike is not complete and the other one is broken. We are waiting on engine gaskets from Accurate Engineering, which were sent snail mail. The new rings arrived on Friday, so

  Hey,   This year is bananas, but first a helpful tech: If you have ¾ or 1-inch axles with sealed bearing wheels, you need a JIMS Wheel Bearing Puller tool, available from one of our Sponsors, J&P Cycles.   I tried to take the bearings out of our little old spool front wheel hub for the peashooter.

  Hey,             This is crazy. I once said we were going to take August off each year, roll to Sturgis and relax, but you know it ain’t possible. The internet eats you alive. Content and action flies at us everyday. If we don’t keep up, it piles up like local grown vegetables in

Hey, Life is strange. I tell kids that if they catch a break, pass the final, win the marathon, that’s cools, but watch your ass. So many times I’ve seen folks score high, then fall completely on their asses, get a DUI, break up with their girlfriend, you name it. It’s as if they don’t

Another whacked-out weekend. I don’t know where to start. We need to load the Peashooter and head out to Classic Cycles, about the last major element. I missed my last appointment with Andy Dunn. We worked on the throttle cable carb connection yesterday, plus we finished, sorta, the retard and advance cable system. We just
