OK, I have a bunch of bikes and a bunch of projects. I'm 31 years old. I like bikes. And hot rods. That's pretty much it. Here are pics of the machines, my evo bike and a triumph that is being rebuilt for the third time right now:

Hey!

Is that a QPD clutch/belt setup on the Trump..?

but I sold that motor and am using a '73 motor now. The motor in the pic was a '68, it ran fine and was a good little motor, but the clutch adjustment on the clutch pack in that belt drive sucked big time. I could never get that clutch to pull as smoothly and easily as a stock one. So I sold that motor along with another frame, springer and some other odds and ends and am using a '73 motor from a friend that has all sorts of webco finned shit on it. Plus the new motor is chromed/polished and I wanted more of that look for the rebuild I am doing.

What's up with your bike, is it close to done yet?

Yeah, my bike's very close to "done"...

I'm using a clutch from LP Williams from England.. Curious how that's gonna work.

Your bike looks sweet, but you are gonna slide right the fuck of off that seat the first time you drop the hammer on it. Wasn't that seat on your old bike--did you have that problem?

This is "the old bike"... And yeah, a lot of people say that I will slip off. But when I rode it in bare metal I didn't have a problem with the seat. I'm just a small dude, and hang on to the bars! :D
