Had a blast this weekend. Saw a lot of cool bikes and met a lot of cool dudes. If you have Instagram look me up Justin_suth. Look forward to seeing y'all next year
23 inch. Honda XL500 1979 to 1981 I believeWhat size wheels are those?
This Saturday was very difficult. The bike was "done" except that I didn't have all the bolts torqued and lock-tite'd appropriately, so had 3 parts nearly rattle off the bike (including engine mounting bolts). That plus undependable starter + truck down hard so no hauler = had to choose the safe route and not ride the 200 miles to the event. That was really freaking hard, but I had to make the safety call late Thursday night and admit it was a day late and just not safe to ride that far, particularly without a chase/support vehicle. Hurts to work on a project for 30 months and miss the show by a single day, but at least I got to ride it on 4 shakedown (shake off??) runs. I hope there is some means of showing my bike next year at the event.14047268_932894430165801_2855669679556010282_o
HOLY CRAP, shakedown ride was nearly a shake-off ride, bottom engine bolt 2/3 of the way out...
Right on Dan! If the chopoff portion continues, I'll be entering the build I started this year... All I've done is build a frame and a tank, and I'm not finished with either yet. Other than that, it's been just collecting parts. If the chopoff portion gets nixed, I'll bring it anyway. I'm hoping we get tons more folks next year, because I love seeing what everyone comes up with.looking forward for next years build I think it'll be Jello Shots turn not a new build but a complete rebuild new frame rebuilt rephase eng. all new custom paint it's time the old girl has about 60K on here and it's time to refresh her haha
That winner has no heft at all. It must have some wild acceleration if one has the stones for it.
well for my first post I'll say
the chop off was a blast, dan and kerri are great host and put on a hell of a event, I'm in for the build off part for next year and will gladly throw a 100 bucks into the pot, also next year dan should not be allowed to work on the chopoff bikes friday and saturday, he needs to party and have fun like everyone else! I'm making plans for my build already and can't wait to get started
