Biker Metric - And other randomness
Trent Reker of BikerMetric dropped in for a bit last week, we discussed the more important things in life. Beer, Hot Rod Engines, Women, Motersickles (as my friend Wayne would say) and of course Biker Bed Rolls from Mr. Don Wood.
I am basically stealing this from Trent's site - but we had a good time. Make sure to drop in on him and see what he has going on, as well as getting yourself setup with a Don Wood Biker Bedroll...
Talking about some motor goodness in the dark confines of my "Shipping Department" (AKA - Old Plywood Table next to the Washer and Dryer)
"we talked about bikes and he showed us his latest xs650 chopper with his hand made frame, notched stock wheels, motobecane tank, souped-up and re-phased motor (not in the pic below but on a shelf), and more."
And then, after talking about Mr. Don Wood's Gypsy Biker Bedrolls, I showed Trent my grungy old biker bedroll that helped me survive the Big Mountain Run this year. The first 2 years of the BMR I carried a fitted sheet and wore my riding clothes/jacket to sleep in... Hey, when you gotta pack light, you pack REALLY light! But this year, the Gyspy Biker Bedroll was the thing to have, it kept me dry and warm (and it was NEITHER for the first leg of that trip) during my escapades across NC and TN....
So we put together a quick photo-op for the Gypsy Biker Bedrolls...
Trent says "then he whipped out his gnarly don wood bedroll and told of how it once saved him from cats, dogs, and bears."
"he demonstrated by posing in the nude in a wild dog park outside asheville. see how tame the wild dog became when the bedroll was unfurled? we was amazed!"
Needless to say, we had a good time... We finished the night by going to my favorite burger joint, drinking local brew and talking more nonsense... I look forward to doing it again...

Sporty Update...
Spent some time with my best friend and his dad working on their sporty. You may recall we started this one a while back.
Added some details to the stock fuel tank.
It was a pretty HOT day in Salisbury, so we mostly just hung around and looked at the bike really...
But, we did manage to kick out a pretty sweet set of stainless 2-1 pipes with some kind of dirtbike muffler... Seth and I butted heads just a little bit as his definition of a "perfect joint" and mine were a bit off... But, once that was settled, we knocked the pipes right out... Its always good to hang with friends and make a few parts...
This one is slowly coming along. It has some sweet handmade parts on it, and I think they are on handmade oil tank #3 at this point. Tony visited my shop this week and picked up a 40MM High Velocity Lectron Fuel Management System for the ol' gal, so she should run pretty sweet! As always, my photography sucks - so thanks to StatonCarter - Master Button Pusher for hanging out and shooting some sweet pics.... I'm pretty sure these were all real film, right out of the camera...

Engine Building Services - Now Available
Well folks, I've been avoiding advertising my engine building services for a few reasons, so here is the scoop!
Yes, I will build your XS650 Engine. I have been building these engines for a while un-advertised, and mostly for fun. Hang with me for a moment, and you'll see what I require to build an engine for you.
Check this bike out, other than a Re-Phase and a 5th Gear overdrive, this engine is BONE STOCK internally and is even running stock carbs. I've ridden this bike, it performs flawlessly and puts a serious smile on my ugly mug...

A Friend in Need - Please Read
Got a good customer in need.... He has a little girl who is in need of some medical help, and he is out of cash. He is parting out his beautiful XS650 Project to come up with some funds. I spoke with him this afternoon, and here is his parting thread - HELP A MAN HELP HIS LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I would love to see this machine finished, bikes can come and bikes can go, but a Man stepping up and doing what he has to do for his lil' girl just hits my soft spot....
ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO HELP, Please send "Gifts" via paypal to Bryan at bryanshere20042003@yahoo.com
Thanks for taking the time to read and help - its an amazing community we are a part of.
