    78 "Simple is clean" Bratstyle Build

    Love it! Very similar to what I'd like to do. Are you going to paint/powder the headlamp housing? That cream color is distracting, at least to me. I don't really care for the idea of a suspended seat on a swingarm bike, but the way the seat looks floating above the seat rails is badass. I'm...

    Right on. I've kicked it with Mike and seen his bike, he does good shit.

    Drag racing

    Drag racing

    I guarantee I'm slow; only been riding for ~3 months and ~1800 miles, and haven't drag raced in three years, and only in cars. But still. It seems to run fine on the street and have decent power for general riding, runs smoothly, etc., but then again this is the only motorcycle I've ever ridden...

    Drag racing

    Well, get ready to laugh. It was Club Clash (bracket racing) so I didn't get to go round and round like a T&T night. Traffic was hellacious so I got to the track late and only got one time run. I bogged hard off the line and then, for pretty much the first time ever, could not get it into second...

    Drag racing

    Gonna head up with some old racing buddies to Bandimere tomorrow night. We all used to race Mustangs, but I think there'll only be one Mustang there out of 5-6 of us. Anyway, this will be my first time dragging a bike so it'll be interesting. I'll post up with results. What do you all think I'll...

    G&L choppers

    I dropped by the shop yesterday after work. The Google street view pic above is actually the west side of the building, whereas G&L is on the east side. There's an A/C shop next to that For Lease sign and I stopped in and asked that guy what the deal was. He said that Rich was probably gone (it...

    "Scrambler" Sidecar build

    It looks like the rolled edge is still there to match the sides. Did you just cut off the 4" from the back or did you move the whole thing down?

    Run to the hills 2

    I don't know a single local vintage rider, so I'm in mostly for that. Hell, I only have three buddies who even ride at all, and two of them are on rockets. Either way, I'm gonna try and pack up the bike tonight. If that's successful then I'm planning on bailing out of work early tomorrow (if...

    Colorado xs enthusiasts?

    I'm working down at Fort Carson at the moment so I might be able to swing by G&L some afternoon. I've wondered where they were, so thanks for posting up the address.

    Anyone ride their XS off road?

    Every time I leave the house. I guess it's not technically "off road" if it's just not a paved road, but I live four miles up a washboard dirt road so I get eight miles of dirt every time I go anywhere. Need to change out my tires to be a little more suitable for it, actually.

    Colorado xs enthusiasts?

    Tent and sleeping bag will be the hardest, and I'm not putting the stock sissy bar back on lol. Some shit came up so I'll have to leave in the morning, but I'll come out and kick it Friday night for sure.
