Javelina 1.1

So I had decided that a hardtail wasn't going to happen this year so i was gonna try to make it the coolest swing arm bike i possibly could but the '79 frame just wasn't working with me so Brandon and I took the roller apart and put everything in a '72 frame with some rake. I'm a million times happier with the stance. it looks loooong. The Golden Spike Swap meet is saturday hopefully the weather is nice and the deals are good. We have like two swaps a year here in Utah so its sort of a special deal. i'm stoked!

Spray bomb

Whoever spray painted the cam cover on my engine should fucking die, I hate you. Luckily 3M has their shit together.

Bondage

got the bondo on amy's tank its almost ready for her pops to lay down her paint which she bought the other day. gonna look slick.

Beezer

Amy and I got this crazy little pup from the shelter. with a name like that he's bound to be a good shop dog right?

Spättan

we're making some super big progress on Amy's bike she's calling Spättan (Swedish for girl biker or something like that) chopped the rear of the frame using Jewel lights from guitar amps for turn signals fabbed up some cool fender struts , seat made from scratch, battery cover made out of some crazy cool stamped aluminum. FINALLY found a tank to fit the weird stamped backbone. Ryan Rabies king of moped hooked me up with a Safari tank which is an Italian moped. cool little tank had these giant tabs and ears i had to take off the petcock issue gave me all sorts of trouble and i spent about 30 bucks in brass fittings until i decided to just retap the bung in the tank. handlebars made out of those of a Haro BMX bike. Got rid of the huge nasty air box for a UNI filter and a crankcase breather. also a cool little glass fuel filter that i made a nice little clip to show it off. Shes getting super excited and so am I. Also the other night Brandon called me up and said His stepdad and mega badass Craig got us some time with the sandblaster and powder coat equipment so we went down and blasted that Safari tank my sissy bar for the sporty. the lower legs from brandons honda and the heads and jugs for his Ironhead and then we powdered the legs and my sissy. looks good i'm stoked.

Sids Speed Shop

Caught wind of this place picking up an Ironhead find with Brandon and I need to start scrounging parts together for Javelina so I stopped by there and I was pleasently surprised. Ogden actually has a scene! and with Deyne behind the wheel of a joint like this they'll stay strong. Deyne is a prodigy. not much older than me but a whiz all things two wheels especially sportys. top notch work and his prices are fair and right next door is Time Warp paint. Adam is a super nice guy i met him last spring at a swap meet. He's killer with the flake and panels and all that jazz. I happened to be there when they were finishing up a couple of rad bikes even saw them fire up the Orange and gold number, fast as hell. that you can see down at the Auto-rama in SLC next month. Theyre legit, bikes beer, potato guns. good thing its not closer or they'd never get rid of me.
