Would you pay a nickel for this bike? Yep, it’s a trick question in a couple of ways. But yes, nickel plays a major part in the build and the opportunity to own it.

Hey, It’s interesting how life can twist.Sometimes we like it and others we don’t, but it never stops twisting and turning until the end. Then as we have discovered there isn’t an end… You will see in this piece many twists and turns of the industry, motorcycling, you name it. Many of us look at these elements and shrug our shoulders, like damn, that’s too bad. But behind each shift are the folks who relied on a paycheck.

Hey, It’s a day of progress.Franky will get his Tattoo Dyna ready for a trip to Bennett’s Performance on Saturday. He worked out a Tattoo Deal to get his FXR rear belt replaced.

Parts arrived for my strange Panhead project from J&P Cycle and Franky delivered them to Bob Bennett for the rebuild. The master painter Deny is almost finished with the ’64, ’69, and ’79 Panhead paint job. What the hell? We have high hopes for the Easyriders pending deal. It came after the auction deal didn’t work, but this deal was initiated by the auction, so maybe ...

Over the Labor Day weekend, I got to work on a special project at a body shop around L.A. In the space next to me was a team of guys who spent no more than 24 hours fixing an old Toyota.

It wasn't particularly pretty work, it wasn't done by the rules, but it would have to do. One guy was mixing and applying plastic filler with extra hardener so it would cure quickly, while another was thrashing with an orbital sander mere minutes after the goop was ...
