House down by the ocean

One of my favorite homes. Getting reaquainted with san diego. Even made some time to stop by the hot rod havoc world headquarters and see what Arie has been up to and lunch at Tinas deli.

Lost in texas

Lately I have been seeing more of the us, in particular Austin, Tx. I found that Austin is quite a fun city. From seeing Muder city devils and slayer to wondering how the sword got stuck in the ceiling. Beside the sword also wondering where four cases of wine came from. A diverse little city with a character all its own. Found a little spot to hideout called "yellow jacket social club" full of bearded hipsters ridin bicycles. Finally spotted some motorcycles saving the day. Welded on tailsection and matching firestones caught my eye on this little honda.

Projects everywhere

Another hemet hero another project. Coffeys find make him an offer he cant refuse.

New shoes

Got actual front brakes relined. Courtesy of L & M Friction in Riverside, Ca. Now if only I could find the rest of the parts.

Goodbye for another great one.

Jim Bouchard, devoted husband, father, and so much more. Attended his services and was reminded of his quick wit and penchant for handing out nicknames to those he liked. Great friend of my moms. He always called me "rusty" which years ago I never got till my mom explained it wasn't bad, I just had red hair. You will b missed greatly. This was his bitchin' car that could always be seen cruisng the streets of Helltown. The streets of heaven will never be the same.

Bob and the stock 750

While doin' a little pub crawl last weekend I got to meet Bob. As I pulled in to O'sullivans irish pub here in Helltown I was asked if that was a 750. Then the 60 something guy told me he was going to drop off his dad who must have been at least eighty. 10 minutes later Bob shows back up to the pub on his stock 75' cb750, bitchin' stock bike with a cool tail section. We hada couple beers then we left he bar for a little put. Thinking bob was gonna ride with us we headed out the way he suggested but when we made the turn to head to the next spot Bob kept going. Nice to meet you Bob maybe next time.

How it all came together.

Sketched this out just after getting the frame for my bday. Still on the wall of the shop. A grand vision of denver dancing in my head.

Cruisin' Grand

Decided to head down to Escondido Friday night to check out the cruise night. T bucket night found one with twin turbos. On the other end of Grand av. Found this sweet 2 door bel air.



Still neat little cruise night could use a custom bike or two.

Hemet Packing Co., we pack em' tight

While the man was away eating saurkraut and struedel, I managed to yank the next project out of the field where it had sat for the last twenty five years. This truck was my grandpa's gold watch when he retired from the Packing company here in hell town. This truck used to pull about 6 little trailers filled with oranges from the groves and transport them to the packing company. Alot of work ahead but the word is it was driven to where it was parked some time ago so with luck she will run again.

Back from the Dead, too busy ridin'

Took awhile but my camera finally resurfaced. Been busy trying to get carbs dialed in and riding almost every day. Great start to what could be a bitchin summer.

Found this bike all lonesome the day after the hoedown. left in the field .

some competition for my next project.

Had to post this "kenny", a Hemet ruler for many years won the biltwell lid. nice work buddy you will need it for your unicycle.

Ridin' Time

Lucky enough to be filmed for the next the wheeled terrors dvd coming out soon. Got the bike put together just in time for the Hippy Killer Hoedown. The first long ride was to the arena the friday before. Other than some clutch and carb tuning issues everything is well. Been riding every day since. Guess its time to give thanks where it is due.This bike would have never been completed without the support of many friends and family.

Amazing Lettering by Dave Whittle, Amazing Artist who took my sketch and transformed it into this beauty.

Ahhhhh Getting better........

lack of posting equals lots of work. wrapping up the small details and debuting this girl at the Hippy Killer Hoedown , April 16th b there.

CAFE' de Crewl

Paint time and look at this amazing color. Whiskey Brown with some Magic from Billy Crewl longtime friend and painter extraordinaire. This is him mixing up all the good stuff so it has lots of flake and just the right shade of brown. Last I heard kids drink root beer so for me whiskey brown was the obvious choice and was essentialy the color Billy had in mind when he thought of me.

This is the Murano mixed in, the picture does no justice as this is the abalone shell effect with greens and blues. Off the Hook!

The Man getting it done....Thanks Billy and Thank You Notebooms for Everything.

Gettin Better

just got the frame back. frame and tank molded and some repair to the existing denvers peaks already on the frame.

Just when u thought there would be no more spy photos here is this. A throwback to the honda "Bones" Noteboom had on the cover of street chopper long ago. Yes, there is a filter type element in there too.
