America's Heartland

There are some great roads south of the iceberg.
Dippin' and divin' all day strong.
Scrapin' pegs and dodgin' hawks.
Walkin' the line and slippin' through the tracks.
Epic day with BCH.
Thanks for the adventures.

200 miles of mostly winding, hilly, bumpy, and or gravel hell.
Getting lost in the day.
I can't think of a better way today could have been spent.

Night Ride


Skateboarding always comes first.
Sometimes riding does too.
Who has time to wrench on fall days like this.

Sad bars....

C2 was long overdue for some new bars.

Holesaw to the tubing.
Lathe to the rod (overdid the length but...you live and learn).
Handlebars+1
 Time to drill out and tap.
Needed to make a tool to hold the tap in place.
Handlebars+2
 Moyou was not impressed.
Handlebars+3
Drill it out.
Handlebars+4
 Tap that bung.
Handlebars+5
 This is a Hutch shot.
Moyou with the creeep.
Handlebars+6
 Pre-bent mocked up bars.
Gross.
Handlebars+7
 Kyle came through with the late night bend.
I appreciate it!
Handlebars+8
 Time to weld.
I am horrible at welding....
Handlebars+9
Moyou was even less impressed with this.
Handlebars+10
This is before the welds got cleaned up and filled in.
I also took a few inches off the overall wingspan.
Handlebars+12
 Early mock up.
Hopefully I will be able to get these powdercoated next week.
All the aluminum switch housings are going to get zapped black soon too.
