what a morning

Here ya go, Link and my results.
I’m a Mazda RX-8!

You’re sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you’re willing to do your part.

Well I bought an RC truck, a Traxxas E-maxx with lots of aluminum bits bolted onto it.
I have since spent about another $150 on stuff for cleaning, lubing, and wrenching on it.
Well I wanted a project, looks like I got it.
Here is my other new “toy”.
Made in 1940, firing a 7.62×54R, and having possibly been [...]

Sorry about the lack of posts already this year.
Holidays, newborn, lack of sleep… these are but mere excuses.
The thing that has been dominating my mind over the last several days, Offroad RC trucks!
I have always loved RC cars and such, but never really treated myself to a “good” one, now I can afford a good [...]

<A while back I used to blog about each Biker Buildoff, there is some seriously neat fabrication on those shows, sometimes.
I still get a lot of hits from random searches due to Google’s method of ranking, seems bloggers end up towards the top a lot.
(Not that I am complaining)
So today I bring you a bike [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates.
Caught Biker Buildoff last night. Hank Young returned to the show to face newcomer (to the show) Cole Foster. Both of these builders build hot-rods as well as classic styled bikes.
Hank specializes in the antique looking bikes, and chose a 61’ panhead for his powerplant, while Cole had trouble just [...]

I really don’t plan on this being a regular feature, but I found a bike shop while researching my last post that y’all have to see.
First I saw this bike featured at a bike show:

Hub-less, down-tube-less, and freakin bad ass!
As I said here, I am not a huge fan of the insane large back tires, [...]

Cory Ness returns after beating his father, Arlen Ness, in an earlier buildoff and decides to go Huge.
Eric Gorges of Voodoo Choppers meanwhile comes to his first Biker Buildoff and proves “Form over Function” may not be the best idea.
The big story of this episode was Cory’s Feuling W3 motor, that is a three cylinder [...]

<While I was searching around for the guys that made Chica’s oil tank on the last Biker Buildoff, I found this.
Charlie’s Twincam “Bulletproof”
Unfortunately I can’t find the shop, nor any better pictures, but the world of customer motorcycles never ceases to amaze me.
Seems for the kicker of this build they had wheels made with bullet [...]

Another Tuesday passes so another new Biker Build off!
This week Chica returned to face Mike Pugliese.
Chica built a old school style chopper the usual Chica and Johnny Chop flair. They did a couple of interesting things, they had a “Blown Glass Oil Tank” and Nitrous set up.
I think the Nitrous was a little over the [...]
