Anything can happen with a Can Do Attitude! We use to be a society of can-do folks. We built, invented and created everything and rocked on. Now, it seems we’re the can-regulate everything era. Salt Torpedo effort has been a 6-year odyssey and it will rumble this year because we said we can do it. So far so good. JOIN THE CANTINA – to read the Bikernet Weekly News – Click Here

You know me, I can’t sit still and talk about old times when we’re burnin’ daylight. I had to monkey with the Torpedo exhaust system again. The turn-out was going to be an issue. Micah and I got together on Monday and hammered at the firewall. We had a long discussion with Drew, who is a Bonneville AMA, and FIM tech. We kicked around the massive fire suppression bottles and whether we need two or one for both compartments.

Death, Breakdowns, Salt Efforts and old Indians By Bandit and Micah McCloskey I don’t know where to start. Last week we Micah and I peeled into Long Beach in my ’72 Ford F250, which was recently checked out by my mechanic, Mr. Patino. Ever since I stumbled into this cool truck, I’ve made improvements, but I still wanted to have a professional take a look. I solved lots of issues, but I wanted fresh eyes to look it over.

Every morning when you swing your legs outta bed, if you have a positive mission or two on your plate it’s a very good thing. Include riding free forever, goddammit.

We are actually getting close to watching the Salt Torpedo sit on its own three wheels with the help of Yelvington Shocks. This week we could finish the steering system. We could link the steering with the wheels. We could have a gas tank mounted. We are getting damn close to making a battery mount, and then hooking up the drive line for a run around the block.
