Dave Roll's
Another one from Greasy Dave's epic collection of period kodachrome. This is Dave at the porno bank in Rochester Mi - late 70's.

Playin' it Straight
Somewhere along the way from 1955 to 2012 my winter build frame received it's share of bends, tweaks, random holes and modifications. At some point the clutch side down tube got a good whacking causing a twist in the neck. But that's all in the past now thanks to Fab Kevin and his big twin frame table. I was originally going to attempt to straighten it all up with the generous help of my good friend and all-around stand-up guy Dwayne (thanks anyway my friend) who has graciously donated so much of his time and expertise to me in the past. But the more I studied the frame the more I knew it would be a beast of a job without the right big twin motor/trans jigs. So I called up Kevin and went over and checked out his shop and dropped off the frame. Yesterday I got the call from Kevin that it was done. He had performed a couple miracle's with my frame saving me a ton of time and money. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Kevin. If you need any frame or fab work give him a call. Or click the post title for the jump to his website. Thanks Kevin!

Welcome Home
If your a factory XR/KR with good history, and you make it to heaven, this is what you'll find when you arrive - Gene and his well cared for stable of Milwaukee racing iron. One of the coziest museum/shops I have ever had the pleasure of standing in. Welcome home - your in good company.

Yesterday...
...I split my ULH cases and began the tedious job of cleaning EVERYTHING. Slojo was kind enough to let me use his parts washer and various tools of destruction. I found a ton of rogue steel hanging out in various places throughout my motor. Strangely enough only the one piston, one cylinder and one rod were shot. Everything else was in good shape. The gods of antique speed were shining their light on my old flatty.

Why We Ride #1
This pic from Louie - our man from the south - kicks off a new post series. He snapped it on his way up to the arctic cirlce a few years back. This was taken in Alaska on his way - way up north. Got a good 2-wheeled travel pic to share? Don't be bashful.
