2002 R1150GS adventure, 2002 Aprilia Caponord, 1998 Buell S1, 2006 Triumph Sprint ST, 2007 Kawasaki Z1000, 2003 ZZR1200, 1996 XR650L 2002 Roadstar Warrior

I am currently working with my father in law to build 1 305 Scrambler out of 3.

Here's the engine as it's been sitting for a while

Here's a 53ish Matchless trials we redid.

Before I added the headlight and recovered the seat.

Nice

we've got a couple others who rebuild old bikes...

and no cycle poseur would be complete without a chopper.

69 Amen Savior framed 650 with a springer front end (sultan shoe)

The paint was redone exactly as it was painted in the 1970s. It's fun to ride if you don't have further than 15 miles to go, require going over 60mph, and don't have to turn or stop.

I also turned an RD400 into a cafe racer.

once i got everything done the way I wanted it, I seized the motor doing plug chops. It was pushed to the back of my garage and I later sold it. Don't worry, I lost my ass on it.

Nice... I like that.

my best friend also manages a dealership. I get weekend test bikes.

Last bike: Can Am spider. meh

I got the superduke for an afternoon. I think it's overblown by motorcycle magazines. It's a neat bike. However, it's a neat $9000 bike. Top end suspension and braking components and dodgy injection with a rather uninspiring motor. I've heard people say they are a different beast uncorked. I hope they are right.

that's it for me. I just ride now when I have the time and wrench when I can't sleep.
