Busted out Kenny Coolbeth's National championship winning CRF450 today at the shop. Have to get it ready for the Dave Bettencourt memorial flat track race. It is by far the fastest, and most expensive CRF I have ever ridden. Got to love Hondas!

WHEELIES


voted the #1 motorcycle trick of all time

Their is a party in my back yard tomorrow night......

...and i want to know who is coming. dont worry i will clean the sheets.

its raining cool bikes.

got this today in pay for doing some fork seals. purdy fair deal i reckon. problem is i got no where to put all these fuckin bikes. some one oughta put me on that hoarders show and try and take my bikes away and i will start crying and cursing at the camera. er maybe not maybe i should just start my own shop and live happily ever after. This little old cream puff Suzuki has nice paint and metal fenders and even a little matching bike pump to fill up them fat knobblies. runs good. think m in love. any one know what it is? I have heard it called a " fat cat" and a "toat goat" 

the jerky shed

Baja says "Hey Mick, stop wanking off and lets go racing"
When lord Mick moved in with me at the begining of the summer i knew we had too many dirt bike junkies for one garage so we scored him a shed from Goat another dirt bike junkie. Goat even used his dads back hoe and a flat bed to move it over to my back yard. we tucked it in behind my shop and the RC track. the only weird part is the door had a lock on it on the inside. maybe thats not weird, sometimes we all need a little alone time with our bikes. any hoo we named the shed the jerky shed. the end. good story huh?

Day one


Made a little progress with tear down...now just need money... haha!

so you wanta be a champion?


Illuminati logo cool as shit. found some pet cocks and bungs. what fun words.
Found the lady a front end. didnt have to leave my back yard. sorry dt400, rest in pieces. so far the only money spent on project champion is fork seals. keep it cheap, keep it simple, and make it fast as a fuckn jalapeno mornin after dookie crank.

A customer came in today who makes custom helmets. He brought this one in today.
He makes some really sweet lids. He brought this one in the other day.

Some days I wish I was that creative.

So here is a sweet Photo of my self ripin it on the ice here in Ma. I have a ton of other sweet photos to post too, but for now just the one. Thanks for the invite Travis!

sunday's score




I picked this up today off a young dirt bike grom who was helping an old lady clean out her deceased husbands storage shed. This was on the way to the scrap yard to be crushed. Its a Champion framer that looks like it has never been riden. The Motor is fresh as febreze. Looks like a spare top end with two heads. motor, im thinking Yamaha 250. Two spare heads with different plug hole locations. Any one have any info on this Beauty? frame number 46073. Any sites i should check out? any idea what i should bolt on the front or how hard it would be to convert this thing into a dirt track demon?

Engine number is DT1F
Under the engine sticker tag with 186280
wtf did i score?
This is why you dont stand to close to the pit fence when I am racing.  SHIT HAPPENS.

'59

The days are shortening, The air is getting nippy. People cough and sneeze everywhere. scantly hot girls are covering up, the calender has empty weekends. We all know its coming.... NO, not the god damned end of the world! Just another fuckin winter!
I have been sicker than a Tijuana ally dog eating out of the donkey show dumpster lately so i have been getting the old ford up and running. should be on the road someday soon.
Mango is like honey badger. she dont give a fuck.
