Frame jig

this is the start of a frame jig im building. its only about an 1/8th of the way done. i will put more pictures up soon.

the engine

this is going to be the engine for the boardtrack build. it is a pitster pro 140cc crate engine. for the power you cant beat the price. i have not seen any exact HP specs but it is estimated to put out around 10 to 14 hp in stock form.

inspiration

i am still ordering the parts to start my board track inspired build but in the mean time here are some pictures that inspired me

scooters are gay

lets face it scooters/mopeds are gay and often compared to fat chicks.

 although the idea of riding a moped is quickly dismissed by most, building a motorbike of 50 cc's or less opens many possibilities. for instance in Nevada you do not have to register or ensure a motor vehicle of 50 cc's or less. you dont even have to wear a helmet!
      Now here is my idea and what i am in the process of building for a client. i am building a motorbike based on the 1914 Harley

but with this engine

this is a honda XR50 engine. there are many clones out there that can be had for less then $300.00 brand new. why this motor you ask? well in stock form it is just shy of 50cc's and makes somewhere around 2 to 5 hp but many performance parts are available for this motor. big bore kits are under $100.00 in most cases. with the right parts and tuning 13 to 15 hp is very possible and would propel a motorbike with this motor well over 60mph. there is allot going into this build to make it safe. i am by no means slapping this motor into a bicycle frame and going 70mph. everything will be purpose built to handle the speed. check back for the progress.

more on the XS650

mounted up some tin. still looking for a suitable fender and maybe switching to spoke wheels

new addition to the family

Nova 6 lbs 8 oz 20''

xs650 bobber that im building currently

started this one a while ago but its been on a back burner until recently

Blackhawks are neat

recently while at an undiclosed location i got the chance to fly in a HH-60 pavehawk (a blackhawk with a refueling probe and BFG's)

My daughter is too much like me

i gave her a tricycle and within 15 minutes she was doing this.

learning to stripe

first attempts at pin striping. i now have a whole new respect for pinheads. this shit is hard. i will post pic's eventually once i have something picture worthy.

Another jap bike

I Built this bike recently out of some spare parts i had laying around the shop. its based on a G450 motor but pretty much everything is hand made on it. The Gas tank was a Hazmat locker in previous life.

First bike i built in japan

This is the first bike i ever built in Okinawa Japan. its based on a Kawi Vulcan 400. it was built with only a few hand tools and junkyard parts.
