Another Magazine Shoot

This time for Trends. This is a house I had the opportunity to do work on. I designed the fireplace mantle and 30' tall marble insert. I also designed all of the properties wrought iron doors.
Hope you enjoy!














































Old Friends & Inspirations

I owe a lot to this family whether they know it or not, particularly BJ.
I grew up with BJ and spent a lot of time with him through High School. We shared many things in common, but more importantly were shared a passon forHot Rods. He also taught me a lot of what I know today.

To this day the entire family belongs to the Bonneville 200+ club and they are still responsible for some of the fastest stream liner bodies on the salt today

Thanks for everything guys.

Jesus strike me down

I grew up infatuated with the choppers from the 60's & 70's

I had a project sitting in my garage waiting.

I now have this to help it along.

I can't help myself.

Good Book

If you ride...

Read it.


If you don't...

Start.

My beginning

Remember the first time you had that feeling?

I think I started to feel it when I was around six or seven. Everytime we would drive down the highway and we would be passed by motorcycles I would perk up.
I remember one year comming home from California in the back of a Datsun pickup. I was in the bed with my two older brothers. We were sleeping snug under the camper shell when I heard this ground shaking roar.
It was deffening and I could feel the entire tiny truck shake. I rose to see that we were surrounded by motorcycles.
As they raced past us I did everything in my power to watch every part of every scoot.
I knew at that point that is what I wanted. I have been captivated by them ever since and will ride untill I die...And I will live free.

Remeber yours?

Bike work

Well I am getting ready for a little run and have been continually pushing forward on the bike. these 2 & 3 a.m. work sessions are going to kill me.
At least I am making progress.
I got the rear lights located & mounted right under the spring seat. I got all the final grinding done on the rear fender and the swing arm painted last night. I also made a rear license plate mount using. It puts the plate right behind the belt drive and uses an old model a tail light.
Should be good to go here soon.

Induction

So my obsession with induction continues. I have a carb fetish. Better yet; I have a multi carb fetish.
I am running a 3x1 offy setup on my 1954 Chevy 210.
I am currently running a 3x2 setup on my 1934 Ford pickup.
I'm going to replace the engine in the 34 with a very worked over 292 Y Block.
I am going to be running a wicked power combo including a 312 crank, stroker kit and various other tasty innerds and just picked up the latest engine component and the newest piece to satisfy my fetish.

My Affliction

I can't leave anything alone.
I have a million projects waiting to be worked on or finished.
So....What do I do? take a perfectly good bike, my daily, and rip it apart.
I have never liked how the factory sent out these softails. Sure they are functional but not overly attractive in the rear.
I originally yanked of the bobtail fender and put on a wrap around fender from a FLH. I rode that way for a couple years and always knew that the fender should be right on the tire. So I couldn't take it any longer. Here is my solid mount fender on the swing arm.
Here are some progress shots.
