Got a "new" motor.


Low miles kept in a garage. Only driven to church by a old lady on sundays.

Checked this out when I was there.


It runs.

and this also


It's a 1961. Runs on a Corvair engine. I like how the side has a tailgate on it.

Your tattoo artist is going to get you hurt.

A long time ago tattoo's were worn by very few people. These people had tats that showed there allegiance to a certain group. Or there "accomplishments" Now that tattoos have become super trendy and have lost there stigma. And every one and there mom is getting "inked" Here's a thought. The next time you sit down at your state licensed tattoo shop. Make sure the guy who spent two years in a community college graphics art program. Isn't permanently marking you with prison gang tats. He's ignorance may hurt you. These tats don't scream out " I'm a bad muther fu&ker !" Because that would be stupid. Why help the "man" figure out sh!t you have done. Instead they are harmless looking symbols that are anything but. In the last few days I have seen two different tats that are rip offs of a certain group of people (they don't ride motorcycles). These people take there imagery very serious. They didn't go to prison for talking out there differences in a non-violent manner. I'll put it this way. You wouldn't go to a Veterans parade in full uniform wearing a Medal of Honor if you've never even enlisted would you ? Would you go to a 1% ers club house wearing a Sons of Anarchy back patch ? Because that's exactly what your doing with your cool new trendy ink. So if you ever wind up getting that sh!t cut out of your skin by a non-licensed surgeon followed by a good ass rapeing (sporting insignia of a gang you don't belong in is bitch sh!t even if you didn't know ) Don't say you weren't warned.

I'm a cheap bastard


Seriously. Why go spend a ton of dough on new sh!t when something used works just as well. Sometimes it bites me in the ass sometimes it doesn't. Time will tell on this one. I actually went to go buy a really nice used comppresor off a guy. It was a smoking deal and I got there late. I helped the guy who beat me to it load it on his truck. When we got done he said he had this old thing laying around. The plate says 1954 but maybe that's a patent date. I'll have to look at it tommorow. Pluged it in and the motor works. 1hp 130 psi looks to be around 20 gallons or so. Once I check for cracks in the tank i'll see how much air this old girl still pumps. I have found being a gracious loser pays off in life. This time it was a free compressor.

Rusty


Like the rest of the bike the wheels are covered in rust.The hubs are clean but thats it. I want to see if I can make these look half way decent. The tires have less than 5 miles. Still got the colored stripes on the tread. Plus all the spokes are there and tight. This is the kinda stuff that lets me know how pissed of the last guy was with the bike. Spent all that money on new tires. Plus 40 bucks a wheel for mount and balance. And after the motor popped he said fu#k it and let the bike rust. I didn't have any stuff in the house for the alumunum so I just hit the chrome.I've been thinking about lacing up the front to a 21". If I do that I will go new rims and spokes all the way around. I'll use these tires for one of my other bikes. And grab some Shinkos for this one. If I run these all throw some black tractor paint on the spokes.
