All Small Time Japanese Builds Lead to Rockingham, NC.

So over cups of coffee one morning a decision was made to get motorcycles before April fix'em up and ride (someone didn't make it and was truly missed). Sometime before June of last year weeks away from Smokeout 11 one, of what would eventually become us, had a basket case 80s/90s(?) GS650 on their hands and another decided haphazardly then and there to chop and bob a 74 CB500.  While the more well-versed motorcycle enthusiasts at that time already had the proper HD equipment.  Anyway over the months friendships were made, bikes were sold, traded, chopped, sold, and bought (repeat)...and now we are all building bikes for 2011 and already looking forward to Smokeout 12!


Bobby Brown (KZ650): needs a friend at all times for push starts...

The CB, is that a triumph???, 500: don't ride in the rain...

So after riding up and down 40 on a 500 trying to keep up with my sporty friends, I slowly began to realize that I was missing something...power and speed.  I became frustrated with never being able to keep up and then decided to quit bullshitting and upgraded (though I am still looking forward to the day I or We start playing around with a CB build).  Now its building season, we are all building and again getting ready for Smokeout 12!

Did I mention we like Smokeout?

After some months some things starting to come together...

Food was eaten, money was spend "invested", and shit got welded...

 Now..........................................................BUM building 2011...........................................................

84 Ironhead

progress is key (5 hours total)...

76 Ironhead...no progress.

this build will be fueled by hopes and dreams and will one day house a Straight Back bolt on hardtail (for some reason this frame deserves respect).

Shovels in the making...

Stay tune for updates, mounted engines, trannies, pics, and whatever else.
