Early start on my Independence Day Celebrating

Happy Early Birthday America! Beer Can Chicken, it's what's for dinner!

Let's climb some hills!

I stole these pics from Chopper Dave's blog. Apparently this awesome Ironehead hill climber was @ last Sundays Long Beach Swap Meet. So freaking cool!!!

The Salt is Calling...

I'm so excited to be heading out to Utah this year on a massive road trip. Some friends and I will be trucking to Utah to catch some Land Speed Racing in Bonneville and ride our own bikes in the high desert. Bucket List trip for sure!!!

Southpaw Machine

I've been real stoked to make some new friends this spring. Ross Lenoir, of Southpaw Machine (check out his blog on my list to the right), is a really nice guy that helps out a TON of people with his machining talents. He helped me with my brass pegs and shaving my lower fork legs.

Be sure to drop Ross a line if you need some custom pieces for your scooter. He's great at tons of different items from points covers and complete air cleaners, to full custom one-off parts for specialty applications.

Let's learn about transmissions!

I'm the proud new owner of an Ironhead transmission! Now to read up on anything and everything I can while these gears are being shipped! Hopefully I won't be down too long and will be ready for the cooler riding temperatures!

Ironhead Version 2.0

The quest to please the Chopper Gods is a long and arduous one! I'm really digging the new look my Ironhead has with the Superglide tank and black fender/oil bag. Headlight changes are on the horizon. I'm also about to tackle a transmission rebuild. Wish me luck, I'm sure I will need it!!!

AMA Races @ Barber Motorsports Park

Bill, Ross and I headed out to Barber Motorsports Park for the AMA Superbike races today. We had a great time walking through the paddock checking out all the race bikes/pits.

Bill and I waited on Ross to join us for the ride over. I took advantage of the time to take a pic of my bike with Bill's kick arse XS650. Today was my first ride with the new Superglide tank. I'm loving the new look!

Harley Davidson XR1200 bikes were my favorites!

We saw a ton of cool Ducati's at the track.

1928 Harley Davidson w/sidecar. This was a team mechanics "pit bike". It was FLAWLESS!!!

This was a view from the start of the Sport Bike (600cc) race. We didn't watch a ton of racing but we had an awesome day.
