Hot Rods-n-Heat Stroke 2011

Er, um, I mean Hillbillies. Great show, nice machines, cool peeps, what else could you ask for? I only wish I had taken more pictures.

TV-2/T-33 Shooting Star

John 6:33-35

33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Wiring,

If you're doing it like this, STOP!!!!

Botanic Gardens Of Chicago

The Boogie....

Here's another good reason to avoid it!

Compensating......

The compensator sproket is called that for a reason. It compensates for the extreame force produced by the firing of your engine and prevents that force from destroying other things, like say, your sproket shaft. The compensator was removed from this bike because it didn't look "cool" with the open chain primary. I wonder how "cool" that sproket shaft would look with no splines?!?

On the road again.....

I'm outta here!! On my way to the windy city for a week of Solid Works CAD training. If anyone is in or near the Buffalo Grove area and want to break bread, give me a shout @eight-1-two-5-nine-2-three-4-one-3.....

Love!

My little lady...

What a boy!

Pure Joy!

Wow,

Just wow!!!!!

Worth your time!

If you ever have the opportunity to visit the National Museum Of Naval Aviation at Pensacola Fl, by all means, TAKE IT!!! You won't be disappointed.

Home at last!

The only thing I like more than going on vacation is coming home. Eight days on the powdery white sand of Ft. Walton Beach Fl. is enough to kill any biker. Back to my wrenches!!!

Skinny!!!

Pizza slices anyone? Trued this one for the Bus of exceeding shortness.

No Love!

I have absolutely no love for the late style shovel throw out bearing. I've ran em' for thousands of miles, but i just didn't know any better! If you're using one, upgrade to the early "heavy duty" one. You'll be glad you did.

Jeremiah 31:33-34

33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

Wow,

Thats a lot of parts for one brake caliper!

Sorry...

....for the recent inactivity. Been busy getting my little one car garage set up to work out of. Gonna have to shift gears. The local bike shop which was owned by my bro-in-law, and served as a base of operations of sorts for my motorcycle endevors, has closed it's doors. I hate to see it go, but as we learn in the 3rd. chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:". I'm trying to buy all of the engine tools as well as other things I need to keep rollin. Need to find a different home for my collection of old bicycles and a few other things. I'm pleasantly surprised, it looks like the garage (thought very small) is going to work out ok. Huge thanks to Shortbus for helping me with the mass exodus of the bike shop!!

Glory awaits

Who is that peaking over the tailgate?

You guessed it, Caroline! Seems I'm hauling her home about every 4th trip out for some reason or another. She's really gettin stuck in my crawl!
