SPACED OUT

we did it. made it back in one piece. our good buddy joe bomber was getting hitched so we let out for michigan. we wouldnt miss it for the world mang!!! its quite a trek from the boot, to say the least. riding four deep in the jetta can cause people to do strange things. who doesnt love a good game of hide the high-lighter? the nuptials were a smash hit, then it was off to detroit to see kyleigh's grandfather. then to see her parents a couple hours away. sleep. then we jammed to chicago to see some friends of the mez and rachel's. pizza, downtown, kuma's corner (which was brutal), sleep. on the road again to the homestead. no worries.

Thanks for the spectacles Amelia.  

SCORES FROM THE ROAD

thanks for the tank chico!!!
vintage buckles from a cool little leather shop in mackinaw city. it was literally the only shop worth going into.

FOR SALE

my uncle is selling his 1966 xlch. it is simply pure, unadulterated, sportster perfection. its ridiculous how nice this bike is. everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, has been gone through on this motorbike. literally every single nut, bolt, seal, gasket, bearing, fitting, cable, and wire is pristine. this bike gets babied so much. it's stored inside. not in a garage. inside his house. you'd be hard pressed to find a more glorious specimen. 10 large makes it yours. and thats below the book price i believe. contact my uncle, James, at 318-294-9214. he would be more than happy to tell you all the details. i have some more pics if need be. he doesn't know what a blog is so tell him you heard about the bike from luke.

TAKE YOU DOWN TO TOGA TOWN

mez had the bright idea to throw a toga party for our birthday's. i crossed over into thirty territory on the 17th. chopper john and his wife made four years on the 18th. mez rang up 25 years on the 19th. and our good buddy AJ also hit 25 on the 20th. it was a multi-celebratory mash. rachel and mez, thanks for helming the good ship "HOST THE PARTY".

KITTY LITTER REVISED

looking good man. here is, not quite, but almost, the final version of chico's motorbike. the p-pad is mounted, fender is cut to length and painted, sissy bar is rolled forward to where it is supposed to be, and the wiring isn't naked anymore. its amazing how small, minute details make such a big difference between half assin' it and pure chopper glory. we at five point salute you.

MEZ BUILDS PIPES...

...all day, everyday son!!! a few months ago i scored a pile of bends and take-off pipes from a local shop. mez couldn't stand the fact that all that tubing was just sitting in my garage. i believe he's been itching to make a 2 into 1 set for awhile now. the 2 into 1 junction, and most of the exhaust, is harley stuff. we just had to bridge the gap to the kaw flanges. too easy. but everything takes time. especially when your broseph gets something in his eye and is cyclopsed for the rest of the endeavor. and after mez kept me up until 3:30 in the early morn, i drove him home and we completed the project upon his return on the morrow. the muffler is a piece he's had laying around for a bit. he has plans to shoot them black and maybe leave the muffler chrome?? regardless, you get the point.
