Belated Birthday Posting

Hurricane Irene tried to out shadow my surprise birthday party but she didn't do that. Kevin really suprised me this year. I had no clue what was going down. I can't thank everyone enough for coming out in the bad weather to wish me happy birthday. I have some great friends and family. One tip....Wine and moonshine don't mix so well together.

Thanks hun you made it a great day!

A few of the OG Crew

Mr. Ken

Tim and Brandy and the wee one

Who wants cake?!

Kaki which one should we try next?

The first half of the night was at the Wine shoppe, Then to Gator's sugar shack of harley parts.

It went downhill from there.....I started drinking straight from the bottle!

Mr. Ken and Deb

The WFG's

It gets better......

At least I was laughing....I was DRRRRUUUNKKK!

I am glad birthday's only come once a year.

Hot Rods, Bikes and Strippers!

Our local strip club sponsored a bike and car show. It was kinda small but better than sitting at home. I think the black Cadillac was my favorite. 

WHOA!

Wish you were there!

Friday Bling

The bling is a little late this morning. Thanks to Mr. Ken for removing the snapping turtle before it removed one of my pups paw. WOW they hiss and jump! I can't thank you enough Ken.

Thanks for the bling for my bike Kevin! You are the best. Excited to try these on. It's hard to see but they match my bike. Purple for the Grape Ape!

Holliday Leather

I am always trying to come up with a birthday present for Kevin that he doesn't have or can't guess. This year is the first year I have had success. I got him a starter for the FXR one year so I didn't have to pop start him anymore and he guessed it. They did an amazing job on the wallet and didn't expect it to be this good. They do fantastic work at a very reasonable price. Check them out at Holliday Leather.

Internet is up

Yay!! Ok I feel so lost in the world without internet. I am back like a bad dream. Did some shooting last weekend. I had a blast literally. I got to tryout the .45 it's sweet. Check out the grouping and the bullet between the eyes. I killed the hostage...but she was a bitch anyway. Have a great Tuesday.

The shake weight in person. Internet is down fried from the storm.

Friday Bling!

Don't be a douche

Think Your Monday Sucks?!

Damn! Have a great week! Thanks to Dwayne for this video. Maybe the cowboy hat threw his balance off.

The light was on!

Need I say more? Like a fat kid loves cake, mmmmmm doughnuts argle argle.....

A Sad Day.

1942 GPW is sold. We had so much fun with this little Jeep. No brakes and riding full tilt around the yard was a blast. Kinda ironic that the local Jeep dealer is purchasing it to put on the roof. Doesn't he know it is actually a Ford? Oh well!

Trading Chips

So I never knew that some Harley dealers carry poker chips stamped with the dealer's name and location. Kevin has a friend Greg that her used to ride with in the Marine Corps that keeps in touch with him. Everytime he and his wife go to a new dealer they ask for these chips and mail two of them to us. It's kinda like a t-shirt swap but much cheaper on the pocketbook. I guess I never noticed that they had them. He also sent me this points cover that he had engraved off his 1978 sporty when he was in the service. Very nice gift and I am happy to have it. Thanks again Greg and Cindy!

Death Science BBQ

Just a reminder! Don't forget to hang with the cool kids this weekend. Bring me something nice cause it's my birthday!!!! I would like a knucklehead :-) Have a great week.

Happy Moooooday!

Happy Moooooday!!! Actually passed this on my way to the j-o-b this morning.

Clutch Cable Replacement

So here we go...again. Thursday went to the HD dealer in Durham since they had my clutch cable in stock. Got there and asked the kid "You sure this is correct it looks too short?" He answers  "Yah it's right" This morning get the bike in the shop, the radio going, coffee in hand, and start tearing the bike down.

Disassembly started

Pull the primary off, broken cable out and NO FREAKIN WAY!!! Dial the HD in Durham and after complaining about how I told them it didn't look correct they tell me they found the correct cable. So yet another drive to Durham. Approx: 50 miles round trip cause someone was slack...myself. I knew I should have measured things cause more than likely you will get the incorrect parts if you aren't following up on them. Parts get mislabeled blah blah blah. Anyhow with the correct cable in hand. I can get things reassembled.

New cable attached

Primary cover back on and ready to adjust the clutch. Notice the new grips I placed while on the phone with the HD dealership.

We use all the space we have!

So frustrating day: Motto for the day measure twice cut once. Always trust your gut.

Tuesday's Ice Cream Run

This week was a very long one. Tuesday I got home told Kevin I wanted to go for a ride and get some ice cream. 100 yards from the house my clutch cable snaps. I push the bike back to the house as Kevin pulls back in the driveway. He tells me he will start the car......I said Nah! I will ride with you on the rigid. I switched from wrapping my legs around him to resting them on the frame since he doesn't have any pegs and so he can shift since its a jokey shift. Ice cream was great! Ride was even better. Spending time with Kevin---priceless.

The camera distorted our faces

Black Sheep Misfits ROCK!

After riding I realized that the chain made the frame slippery and my boot suffered the wrath. Oh well battle scars! haha. It was worth it. Now to tear apart the sporty and get my clutch cable replaced. That design sucks.

Progress Pics

Here are some progress pictures of everyone working on the 1981 Ironhead.

  

Kevin and Ken getting the bike ready to test ride.

Ken asked me to make sure the point were gapped correctly.

Phillip was ready to ride. Debbie was overseeing the work.

Neal enjoyed the test riding

Ready to find its next owner. Ironheads are great. Email if you are interested in this gem. You could ride it as is or chop it.
