Cicero had a beer with Aaron and I. Took some snaps.

Cicero is Godspeed.
Aaron is either High or Tite. He and Vince trade off.
Chris is the patient guy who gets this bike. His board was ridden by the winner of the Eddie Aikau this year. So yeah, he was celebrating by snowboarding at Mammoth.

More polishing. P-pad. A few seals and springs. Hope it doesn't leak. Too much. Hah!

Exhaust ends I didn't like so I made another set.





Boredoms: Hard Trance Away Super Roots 3. Half hour of guitars. Good stuff. Boredoms put on one of my favorite shows about 15 years ago. Yep. 40 now.

Need to tweak the exhaust a little but it is getting there. The aluminum deals were messing with cornering clearance, blew a hole in the seam, not happy with how they were gonna attach, and I have been seeing a bunch lately. So, nope, they went in the can of dog bowls and coors silos.

The striped cat is new. He is well behaved. The other is an asswipe who whines a bunch. Like the exhaust though, he's getting there. A little separation anxiety.

Didn't like the pegs I originally made.












Knob for brake, modify brake arm, modify stock passenger pegs. Bunch of work for little things. One of my favorite files also.

When Chief Two Beers and Jeffro show up and other stuff

Did not grab my camera in time to capture Chris taking the tire off as Josh was putting it on.
That tube got pinched. Yep.
Girlfriend Cynthia with my new helmet a few months back. Summer is over. Starting to get chilly in NYC.
Mollusk keeps NYC in the water. Or beers in hands, guys.
More Chris G here. Johnny hiding behind a beer.
Jeff and my wife Susan.
No explanation.
Huh?
I hate those cups for lapping valves. Safety wire some hose to tip of valve and twisto.
6'5" 168 lbs of awesome in cowboy boots.

Food at the Brooklyn Bowl is tasty.
This is a few weeks back at the bowl bbq in honor of Andy Kessler. Tim and Undercover John bbq'ing. Tim was throwing all the veggie burgers over the fence.

Been Lagging, I have.

Chris G

Cams were too big for these old cases. Not anymore.


Chris G's Ketchup Monster. Hi Ida.


Engraving and dents, nope, no more.


Grind it out first, then weld.


Had to redo the weld because it was not blending. Can't really tell here, so there.


Josh on way to Brooklyn Invitational. Bill in his Scout following.


Pic of the back room. Think I was sitting on the floor mumbling a conversation with Andy, who was doing the same.


Chris Christensen's


The Autumn Bowl of radness.


I'm 4 hours late and 3 weeks from finishing. But I was on beer so I was ok.
