In a nutshell, Springfield Mile got rained out. I went to the TT Saturday night - a Kow won it - (first time for a Kawasaki to win a dirt track national they said)
Wild Henry Wiles from Michigan took the lead after Jared Mees busted an axle on his CRF

Sunday morning it was rainin' - so we split. Rode in some nasty weather - plus a tornado near Parkerburg, Iowa - but made it home leading Screamin' Eagle baggers and big bores. Just get the '64 up to about 75 and let her buck.

The Stag beers are actually pretty good - plus they only cost a $ 1.00

And the Ozzy tribute actually rocked - no shit.












I love this kicker peg, this kicker pedal, this kick start peg/pedal. I got it about a year ago and its been on my knucklehead ever since. There are many kicker pedals to choose from these days but I like this one.




There are some really cool ones out there lately but this one had eluded me for quite some time. This spool peg, this pole pedal, this "Army" peg, this WLA pedal, this... peg-peg.

Oh, and here's my disclaimer (because people read into this way too much): I don't think its the best kicker pedal in the world, I just really like the simplicity of this one on this bike. If I had another kick-start type bike, I would probably use something else - especially if it's harder to start.




Close the choke, prime, prime, open the choke two-notches, ignition on: kick-to-start.

I miss having my own parts guy. This is Craig, he was my parts guy for years at Dreamers Cycle in Pearl City, Hawaii. Not only was he the world's best parts guy, he's a excellent mechanic and gave me tips and helped me through all kinds of repairs. Yeah, Craig rules. He's also a huge fan of the original Iron Horse magazine (David Snow era).

Appreciate a good parts guy if you have one. They're rare these days. Most of them get a little older and have moved onto other careers and I can't blame them - the motorcycle industry doesn't pay very well. Like the saying goes, you ask 10 people the same question... you know the rest. Listen to one good parts guy. Buy him lunch. Buy cookies. I miss my parts guy.

By the looks of that sissybar and helmet, I would guess that it must be Mr.Lover-Lover's aka Danny!

This is my friend Jerry's Chief. The bike sports a stretched Scout girder, 21 and 16 wheels and tires, cut down Panhead tanks, and a gnarly stroker motor.

Jerry's the king of Seattle and has five of everything I've ever wanted- Old 40's hill climb and flat track bikes, real period hot rods, nuts-o Art Deco bicycles built from polished aluminum octagon tubing, a chopped windmill, a lovely prosthestic limb collection, midget and giant acquaintances, and other good stuff.
When the weather breaks we're swapping bikes for a ride sometime. I'm stoked!
