Great balls o' Fire.

Crane 308B Fireball cam. I told my man that ease of starting was paramount (just thinking of you guys...) so I hope he didn't steer me wrong with some high-lift/mucho overlap bumpstick.
Apparently Bones likes 308 because it's got an indexable gear; you can run normal timing, or retard/advance the cam timing 4 degrees which would move the power up or down the rev range...

A 50 Wt. Public Service Announcement.

Let's be careful out there, Mr. Carr.

Coxsackie virus.

Herb's farther along than I am.

But it's all coming together nicely.

Since I've been too wimpy to get anything done outside,

I decided to do a lot of reading this winter. I just picked this up and haven't gotten too far into it but it already seems very worthwhile. A little pricey, but written the way a book like this should be and a good deal of helpful stuff.

All the big winter plans

haven't really happened,

New List

• clean carb
• adjust clutch
• adjust front brake
• fluids change
• ride(with the occasional smoke screen & oil leak)

I heard the best thing you can do for a 60 year old motor is shut it down for the winter then start kicking like a madman 3 months later. I wonder why I break down the most?

Speaking of old pics...

...I found this while rummaging though some old pictures. It's the hood of a car I painted years ago (based on a Van Gogh painting) when I did an enduro race at Star Speedway in NH. It's called and enduro race, but when you have hundreds of cars on a 1/4 mile track, it's just an exercise in mutually-assured automotive destruction.

Warmer times

In retrospect my bars should have been 3-4 inches shorter, look at the rookie with the politically incorrect wheel angle...

My old friend Chip

Looking thru old pics, how could I ever forget about Chip, good times!

Wasseling along.

OG Wassel I got from a Canadian guy, destined for the shovel. Guess I'll have to make a crossover tube so gas from the left side can get over to the right.
I had to put a tunnel in, now I just have to make mounts then it's time for everyone's favorite, bodywork...

I would guess if you enjoy choppa's and shit then all 35 people who read this blog have seen endless amounts of pictures of this bike. I respect the hell out of the craftmanship and think the bike is neat as shit, can't understand the commitment, but respect the hell out of it. Hand made Lucite gas tank and primary cover? I can't even begin to imagine the amount of time that would take. Well done Mr. Drews. photo's borrowed from HMG
