Thought I’d pass this along, from chop cult’s website.
V-Twin Expo
I don’t have many photo’s this year as we forgot our camera back at the shop. -oops So here’s one from Doug’s phone (yey). left to right Jim, Jan, Corey Ness, Zack Ness. Saw a lot of new products and asked a lot of technical questions. When you bring this many people in the motorcycle field together it’s a always a good time!
1913 Harley Video
A customer e-mailed this to us a while back. Makes you appreciate modern technology. Enjoy
Always Be Prepared By: Jan Knobbe
It’s four a.m. and I can’t sleep because I feel spring approaching. So many things to do, so little time. I know it’s hard to realize it, but the days are getting long already. For me that’s a real good thing and for you also I’m sure. Before you know it the days will be warm enough to ride. If your bike is not up to snuff, you’ll be stuck in your garage or sitting on the side of the road messing with it, not enjoying it. Think about pre-maintenance now, before spring hits. Get the edge on the procrastinators. Think about your battery, oil change, tires (March tire specials). You know what they are, the normal A,B,Cs of pre-flight inspection. But enough of that.
Vegas
Jan, Reine, and Jake went to Vegas this winter and here’s a couple pics from their Trip.
Riding around Vegas this is somewhere East of the Hoover Dam.
Not a whole lot of gas stations in the desert… Got lucky and met a biker doing road work that carry’s extra gas on his truck for all the people like me.
Enjoyed Vegas saw the sights and all that jazz. Then we went to California…
Checked out the Garage Co. in Inglewood, they do only vintage bikes, and collect plenty of memorabilia to look at for days.
On the Way back to Vegas Jan’s throttle cable broke in the middle of no man’s land. So he rode the last 150+ miles with a combo of vice grip pull throttle and cruise control. All in all a fun trip. If you want to know more just stop by the shop and ask.
Motorcycle Laws and Apathy By Jim Childers
Did you know as motorcycle riders we have been deemed to be different from other motorists? We have been identified to stand out amongst the masses and it has been determined that we shouldreceive “special” treatment not afforded to the majority of others who operate vehicles on public roads. Solely identified and singled out by our two wheels, we have been selected and even targeted to be treated differently than others on the road. I believe that term they have for this is called profiling. Apparently we need to be singled out and swept off public roadways by local, state, and federal government agencies all in the name of protecting us from ourselves? We don’t know what is good for ourselves; we don’t know what kind of protection we need to keep us safe. Continue Reading →
Drag Bike
Got the Drag Bike page up, not much on it yet, but make sure you check back in a couple months when we finish the bike, and throughout the season for race pic’s.
Pan Knuckle Motor
A different breed indeed. I’m not sure when this was printed, or in what. Think I took it off of Max Schaaf’s blog 4Q conditioning. If you click on the pic it will bring it up in larger format so you can read the text. Thought it was interesting, reminds me of Larry’s and Kino’s motor’s. NEAT!

Not sure were this clip is from, got it off Jeff Decker’s blog, thought I’d share.
