robert williams mind blower

story of my life

once guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns

finished pipes almost

morg getting down

well it was sad 

but roy passed away 

and there was a nice cruse set up for him at the dog stand down town watson

it was warming seeing people gather in support of a fallen rider

and his family

R I P, roy

roys car with his daughters driving

KKKRAMPUSSS

morgan built a bike out of a1980 honda 185 dirt bike

mini moto

today my wife, sister, dad and myself went to holister hills and had a grand ol time

Monica's first time riding 

with the clutch and all was a great success!

she even had fun and went way to fast for me

to feel comfortable with 

she truly is a natural

i am the proudest man in the world to be married 

to her

choptime

its funny how one little part can hold you back from

lots of progress

i needed to install neck races for the forks

and i was stupid and tried almost successfully

to get them in by hammering them in with a 2x4 and a hammer

dumb.....

but my Buddie Jason gave me an idea for press fitting

it worked great

got the bike of the stand

two wheels makes it a bike
way more motivating

the 65

i traded a car that didn't run for one that did

that car was a 1965 gmc long bed with the v6 305 4 speed

granny low 

it started every time and was a beat up rusted out tank

no power steering

rare power brakes i could not understand the method they used

for grating a brake boost

it didn't like to stop

once i bought my new gmc i sold it to pick ad pull for $200 

reg was up and the brakes needed to be done and it was my third truck

later did i find our i should of just kept it

i was ruff but use full

moves things around well

you know

no smog

it was a beast

Add caption

we got married and drove away in it

some more fxr goodness

sorry for the stolen pic
dont remember who it is

fxr dreams

i love the fxr

someday i would like to build or own one

they have a appeal that is more than a aesthetic 

purpose driven machines of freedom

i also admire a certain group of riders that made them popular

that just ads to the mystique and flavor 

here is a collection of photos i have stolen from every moto site on the interweb

long live the fxr

fxrp, p for police

i really like the police styled fxrp

more fxr's to come periodically

four wheeled heartbreak

i have owned my fair share of cars during my short lifetime
all of them i have loved but laked the experience to hold onto them.
only recently am i learning what i takes to maintain a car
they don't fix themselves.

I'm going to try and go over each car i have had
this is an Internet memorial
starting with the most recent

my friends john chris and mike galli built this truck
is an 82 gmc c-10
new crate 350
rebuilt everything
mike did a lot of fab work on it
including a louvered tailgate and roll pan
c-notched the frame
custom grill,  injection hood etc
i got the opportunity to buy it from chris
and its been wonderful to me
i personally witht hte help of pat and morgan installed new leaf springs
and 2"lowering blocks in addition to the flip kit mike installed
i got steel rims and white walls
and recently had 2" drop spindles and spring installed

as of lately i think the head gasket was blown. i attribute this to my neglect of the cooling system
and on two separate occasions my motor turned off while driving
this photo my wife took as she was getting a tow the second time it happend to her
as u can see the body is straight and beautiful

 

befor the dropped front end

my goal is to keep this truck running as my daily driver
for an idefenate amout of time
hopefully i can do this
