Raul Mondesi

2011-01-11T11:13:00.002-06:00

I went to a Dodgers game in LA a couple months ago. Raul Mondesi was one of my favorite players when i was playing. I was walking around the stadium and saw this. Shortly thereafter i spoke to Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains and also Duff from Guns and Roses. Pretty cool talking to those dudes.. Anyways... Here is Raul Mondesi with the Sweetest pair of Rawlings Pro issue batting gloves. My son wears the all white pair...

Some Iwata Kustom's!

2011-01-07T13:51:00.004-06:00

2011-01-06T11:50:00.003-06:00

Just cruisin around the internet and found pics of the Rats hole show i was in... I found some pics from the barnett website...Look who is in the frisco sweatshirt? ME!!! too funny!!! Big Phil, my brother is standing next to me with the DC shirt on... How funny!!!

See the show here: http://www.barnettharley.com/photovideogallery/ralliesevents/2010-rallies-a-events/category/720-rats-hole-show-on-galveston-island

Big Jake

2011-01-05T08:39:00.003-06:00

My son Jake, has taken an interest in painting @ age 8. I haven't asked him to try and do it but he just grabbed an old sportster tank and started tapin a design. He says he wants to keep his very first one so he can go back and look at it when he grows up. Maybe that means he wants to be a custom painter? I hope not... He needs to stick to baseball...

Does anybody know the guy who bought the White Panhead frame Servicar trike roller?

Well tell him he is a dickhead & he can eat shit!

I simply asked you how much you paid for it and apparently it was a big fucking secret! Why was it such a big deal you couldn't tell me? I don't get it! I scored bigger than you this weekend from Buds in Austin i promise you...

2009-04-17T22:14:00.003-05:00

Anybody reading this post in the Dallas area that can help me cut up this servicar that i bought the other day? I pretty much have everything to mock up the roller but no frame type jig to stretch and rake the frame... Sooo somebody in the DFW area, hit me up....

Here is my inspiration, i'm going a different route than most...

Congrats to the Japanese baseball team!

Here's the first incarnation of the "Mindblower" by Kelsey Martin that you posted. Notice the original paintjob, and lack of Judson supercharger... "Long Gone". This bike is the pinnacle of Triumph customs
John (CycleDelic Cycles)

John, thank you for the pic. I have never seen this one before. If i close my eyes and think chopper this bike comes to mind. I posted the mindblower in one of my first blog posts ever. I guess the natural progression was the supercharger and signature ribbon paintjob it was already a mindblower. Man that bike is sweet! -Junior

The Arlington swap meet got me out of it... 150.00 for every easyrider issue from 1975-2004.. It even came with issues 1-5 and some from 73, & 74.. Plus the most of them are bound or came in a box... I'm cured...

2009-01-06T14:26:00.006-06:00

I've been seriously uninspired with motorycles for a few months.

But thanks to the Arlington Swap meet, my juices have been flowing again. Rick Doss style bikes from the early to mid 80's is where it is at right now in my mind... I smell a new rolling chassis soon!!!
