hell yeah...I'm famous!!!



I also see where you got my buddy's bike. This one won Best Jap Bike there. We built my Triumph first and then got on his. We finished it at about 1030pm the night before the show and rode it for the first time then for about 5 mins then it was time to pack up and leave from Ky. I got a ton of pics of the build on this bike if anyone wants to see them.

I'll say one thing for sure, that fuckin' Roadside Marty is the worst judge in the history of bike judging!!!

He couldn't judge a bike show on the judgingest day of his life with an electronic automatic judging machine!! Yeah, I said it.

the "box" is a 90* gearbox off of a big old (50's vintage) lathe. it is 1:1. it will take 2400 rpm all day long according to the people who made it and that just about where cruising speed is. as far as the handle bars...we like em too. very very easy to ride also. love the internal throttles and twist clutches, but wasn't going to spend that much money when we got a machine shop. this entire bike was done for right around $1100.00 we were shooting for 1K, but we decided not to chinse on the brakes and went with harley rear brakes cause they work. of it wasn't for that, we'd have come in under 1K.

.......my personal favorite is this....... (it houses everything electrical...and i mean everything. 20 lbs. of shit in a 5 lb. bag. totally functional with the cutoff on the side and everything!!!) HA HA HA
