I'm going to miss her...

Looks like the Alabama 1/2 Sack may be heading to a new home in Sunny California. I've sold a few motorcycles before, but this one is different for some reason.

I want to thank every one of my buddies who has helped me, with both knowledge and/or moral support, get this motorcycle in the shape it's in now.

I'm going to miss her...but the Shovel is road-ready and I'm going to enjoy tinkering with her over the winter.

I hate the term "you can't keep 'em all" but in this case, for me, it's fitting.

Progress on a Conte Kustoms Seat

This seat has tested my skills and patience but I'm liking how it's coming together. Hope to have it done soon!

The Bama Swap and Drag is coming up in a few weeks. I will be set up with a variety of items...parts, leather goods, vintage motorcycle magazines, etc.

Be there! This is a great event put on by Rick's Cycle Parts and Violent Choppers.

In Progress

Finishing up another seat for Conte Kustoms. Dyed and ready for lacing.

About 13 months ago I bought an absolute boat anchor of a shovel motor from a "friend". A lot of time, money (of course), and a good bit of luck went into getting this thing on the road. Rickey Lewis of Rick's Cycle Parts rebuilt the motor and helped with the finishing touches.

Rickey is going to help me with some final issues, then it will be time to eat up some miles!
