Part 3: Days 7-9 Day 7 – Stratton, VT to Copake, NY Holy hell it was a cold night. I was not prepared for the cold that came in during the early hours of the morning. It was 40 or below. I had to put everything on that I had. Brain got creative for warmth. […]
SOLD! and everyone guessed over. PUT A GUESS IN TO WIN A T-SHIRT… read the post So I’ve been searching for a Z1/KZ900/1000. However, I’m realizing why it hasn’t been an option previously… they’re crazy expensive. I’m really hoping to find one in stock condition that hasn’t been messed with but I don’t think I […]

Decided to go to Carlsbad caverns and wait out the storm The road there was again long and straight but with all the oil pumps, fracking burnoff towers, the sand, and […]

In the current online world of highly curated motorcycle photos it’s rare to see people out riding old motorcycles and having fun without it looking like a storyboarded photo shoot.

Hello and welcome to another addition of the weekly COTT gear review. This week I have pulled out some super warm, economical and understated moto gloves to keep those sausages from freezing as we head into the colder months. The first pair are the Held Warm N Dry. Held has a stellar reputation for making […]
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… It annoys me when I see cycles on eBay that say “Fresh rebuilt engine. 10 miles on it since rebuild. Runs great.” etc… Fucking stupid. I would never buy a bike like that unless the owner has put like 1000 miles on the rebuilt engine to […]
Ride 2 Skate was a ton of fun. Cast & Salvage had a table set up and seemed to get some real positive feedback. I’ll be the first to admit I know jack shit about Harley’s and bobbers… Kevin Ludwig did a good job explaining what’s what… and showed me some real rare cool bikes […]

Hey, I’m excited about the positive feedback about my shop girl posts, thanks! This week I helped Rob as he experimented with building his first ever cafe seat. After deciding the shape, we made a cardboard pattern and mocked it up on a frame to make sure the proportions were right. Then we traced the […]

I ditched the stock handle bar switches and replaced them with 2 toggles to control power to the lights and coil seperately. Here’s a basic overview of the light switch… a lo/kill/hi switch.

I’m cruising on Interstate 80, descending through the jagged, brown peaks of Nevada, when I first set eyes on northern Utah.
