i am nursing 4 cut fingers that my skill saw left me 2 wks ago. didn't cut off any fingers but sure did a # on my tips. 2 middle fingers are left numb. maybe a year to get feeling back but because of the cuts dr. doesn't think so. should be better in about 4 more weeks. at least to where i can use my right hand. i am lucky an i am left handed. lol. so maybe i'll be back to buildin some more bikes.

it always seems to get quite around here after those...ive been contemplating getting my caddi back on the road or just selling it and getting a 53 plymouth ive been eyeing for a month or so now....
 
Trying to get my garage organized before winter hits. I've also been playing with a few prewar bikes I've been collecting parts for. I'll post pics of those soon.
 
i agree yeshoney. it is definately slow around here. while the build off was going on, i was gettin replies to all my how to questions. now its so freakin hard to get answers to my questions and nobodys posting any pics of current builds. its gettin kinda boring around here people!!!

and for everyone that says there tired, what are you guys doing between midnight and 6am??? Sleeping!!! thats where your losin your time!!! jk im tired too and didnt even put a bike in the build off!!

Man... I put off all my paying work for the 15 days it took me to build Madd Hammer.... Now I am so freakin far behind It seems like I will never catch up (really I am making pretty good progress on things but its only because im working 14-16 hours a day) So yeah... Part of the joy of being self employed is you don't get to just go home when the buzzer goes off. long hours are a small price to pay for all the perks though... like being able to spend a couple of weeks solid working on a bike!

I have already started working on the Hawthorne Flyar, picked up a 50's Hawthorne deluxe tank bike that is as nice as any I have ever seen, and been thinking about building a real boardtracker.... by real I mean I almost bought a 1916 excelsior single but decided it was missing to many parts. Im leaning towards a JAP twin... Want to build really cool rideable vintage powered machine....
 
I'm just starting a resto on an old mini bike.

Thanks!!!
 
I decided the only thing I need to buy for quite a while is tubes of all sizes then I could finish 80% of my projects, I get so sick of trying to fix tubes that I pretty much just replace them anymore. Ok back to subject I decided to put lights on Sally along with front brakes... theyre never done.
