Slab City... gotta go before you die...

Yes, you need to see this place. I've been to all 4 corners of the world and seen shit that I thought topped it all, but to go to Slab City for a night brought some new perspective to my world! The riot was a blast and was cool to hang with Mike D., DB and son and the rest of the gang. Thanks go out to Billtwell and all those who contributed to making this thing go off!

Someone thought I looked good enough to take a pic...

Salvation rock is the local Disneyland...

God loves you... until that stack of hay bales falls on your head, then you can only get in touch with his lawyers!

I made it to the top! I guess I'm saved now? Hello? Is this thing on?

Some PROgress...

Got back out to the shop yesterday to actually do some work in my "new" environs... Felt like crap most of the day, but still managed to operate power tools without losing any digits, that's how you know I'm pro.

Needed to "modify" the neck on the Trump to get the springer on, so crank up the juice!

Not too shabby... need to smooth it out

Next up was showing the buggered sissy and fender the door

Nice and clean!

Here she is with the new tanks mocked along with the springer. Waiting on my spool to get laced up and trying to figure out what to do with the seat / fender setup. Lots of space in the rear tube area now that oil's in the tank up top... thinking about a custom tool / stash box. Gonna start knocking out a seat pan this week and play around with the stowage idea a little... don't hold your breath.

Glad I don't live here...

Yeah, visiting fam over the month of October was cool as shit, but I'm certainly glad I live in the land of sun rather than rain and snow... I can only take so much. I put my time in back east dealing with 5-6 months of shit weather out of a year!

Well looky what we have here...

Yup, I'm actually still amongst the living, I swear! Tons been happening since the big show in September. Spent the month of October recuperating and now shit's coming together again in a big way. Picked up a '56 panhead recently that'll be making its way to the barn over the next few weeks when I find time to drive out east to get it. Trent over at Atomic built her and I fell in love with the thing the first time I saw it back in July when he finished. Then out of nowhere it came up for sale, and I scrambled to pull a few things together and pile some cash! The things an addict will do...

Also been cleaning and reorganizing the shop. Shit was so out of sorts that I couldn't get any work done, so I finally dove in last weekend and this to get it back to working condition -

Lots more open space when you throw shit away...

and you can put more bikes in open space!

Got all my machines in one place finally too!

Add a new lift and we're off to the races...

I know, I know, now let's see if I actually finish some stuff right? We'll see...
