nice tail
Another mighty fine pic taken by my dad. Can anyone ID this bike? the winner gets 48 empty pbr bottles plus a Mango cat hairball my dog Baja ate and then upchucked back up.
Devil's workshop
This is the kind of trouble i get into on weekends i dont go racing. Its bad shit when my bike part money starts going into a toy car. crazy addictive fun. weird looking vase too.
fix it good. fix it right.
blurry pic but thats a bunch of arc bird shit spatter on a clutch perch of a crf100 i worked on. it was actually working well untill i removed the 3" ball of black tape. my kind of fix, fuckin use what ya got! make it work now! who fuckin cares if a new one is five bucks. we dont need no stinking fresh parts. just a buzz box and time to ride!
Too much chopper dave?
cut the tip of my pinky clean off while sharpining my favorite cooking knife. what can i say i just wanna be like chopper dave. ....I still got a lot of pinky left to get stinky.

A properly filled garage
My brother and I grew up living the two wheeled(and winter wonderland) dream in Steamboat, Colorado. After finishing his two years at automotive school, however, he moved to Boulder to try out the overwhelming city life. I was worried that this change would turn him into a traffic jamming wierdo, but a quick glance into his urban garage this past weekend confirmed that his priorities are still in all of the right places.

its official
Until now, i was unsure if i had really taken the honda's virginity. but after this weekend's enduro in Milliken, (aka the sloppy frozen slip n slide shitshow festival of slam) there is no question that i have been balls deep in the depths of her well lubricated insides. her name is Brandy, and shes a fine girl.

I want to start this post by giving some background on the shop I work at. It is a shop that has been around since the 60's. Its called Bettencourts. http://www.bettencourts.com/ Over the years they have sold all kinds of bike. BSA, Triumph, Cz, Bultaco, Kawasaki's, Honda, Suzuki, Kymco, Leaman trikes. We currently sell Honda, Suzuki, Kymco, and Leaman. We are actually the oldest Suzuki dealer in the U.S.A. As of this year that is.We also sell the most Suzuki's in the north east.
Well winter is coming so the days are getting slow. That means time to get out old bikes and make them pretty. Since we have been around along time we have some cool old bikes. Not to mention my old boss (who passed away 2 years ago) like cool old bikes. He also sponsored some racers (Kenny Coolbeth, Jo Jo Keller, Tony Lorusso just to name a few). Well these are some pics of bikes I got to put my mitts on this week.
First this sweet 1973 Cz two smoker.
Then we took out Jo Jo Kellers local championship winning Cr 125, He ran a 23 inch front tire on this bad girl. This is the bike that got him the Support from factory Honda.
It even has a personal note to Dave B.
Then once those were ready for the celling we pulled out a sweet 250 Elsinore.
Between all of us still at the shop we could not remember who 60E was. This thing was so cherry it still had the leather lever covers on both the clutch and break levers.
Then the last bike to get pulled out of the moldy container out back and my personal favorite. ( I have a thing for minis) A sweet 1962 Z50 Christmas special. This bike is art in my eyes.
Well that's it from me. Sorry for the long post just had to show off these jems. Man I love motor bikes!!!
