inspiration

as seen on the pic, I got this pic from the born loser blog. great blog with all kinds of cool parts and pictures.
as i look at the old pictures of old choppers, bobbers, drag bikes in the 60/70 magazines; these bikes look awesome!!the builders back than had a great 'chopper' mind and skills.
i could read those magazines forever. too bad they aren't available over here. I got a few from jeremiah as a gift when I left Arizona.

I hope to finish my triumph this spring, to ride it for the summer. and after that start a new project. saving almost 90% of my paycheck to fund this project and to buy a new project, hopefully an 60's ironhead or shovel.

yeah..

my buddy ricardo managed to fire his bike up after some electrical issues...
needs some further tuning!
great job!
