World Superbike Portimao - Superpole


Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow sits on pole (chuckle) for the second World Superbike round @ Portimao in Portugal. Crutchlow's teammate, former WSBK champ/piano tuner/MotoGP flunkee, James Toseland, will start from 15th. Toseland was last seen scrambling around his pit box looking for his little black book of excuses. You think that's sad, then check out the FACTORY Ducatis of Fabrizio and Haga down in 17th and 18th. General Lee Hayden and his ZX10R-series will start down in 24th in front of...well...no one.


Superpole Result:


1. Cal Crutchlow GBR Yamaha Sterilgarda YZF R1

2. Max Biaggi ITA Aprilia Alitalia Racing RSV-4

3. Carlos Checa ESP Althea Ducati 1198

4. Leon Haslam GBR Alstare Suzuki GSX-R1000

Custom Painting.
My Chopper Hero big time and a Sinner Mats, aka “Punk Matte” (he’s still a Punkrocker) or as I prefer to call him Chopper Daddy, he have taught me more than I need to know about Choppers and building them.

   Put on the cans for some heat on the stove, only way to make them work
 I wonder what blend would work best for some custom painting? “I got to get some flow when I put on the tape and laces…”
-         First some blue mini flake on silver bottom.
Then some green candy on top.

You got to have a clip?
 Final result.

And today the Panhead is almost done and for sale.
Later, Corner.

Thank you for the updates Corner!

Yes, it's THIS Saturday!

3/27! Stop missing out and come down. ChopperDave and I may flake out and be all like "let's put bottle rockets on those little glider planes on the last Saturday of the month instead" and then we won't want to do it anymore (because those little wooden glider planes can be fun until someone breaks the propeller's rubber band).

No mad dogging, no bad vibes. Be there NOON SHARP for lunch! Run, walk, skip, drive, ride, skate or pedal your fixed gear!

Shin's FXLR

Shin's FXR has been a solid workhorse for him. It's been all over Japan and currently resides with him in Tokyo. Here are some photos from a couple of years back.
Not only has it been a solid commuter and all around fun transportation, it's also done some light trail duties with his brother back in his home town.
Up long winding roads, until the snow stops them from going any further. He's really ridden his bike all over the country. Hole shots, burn outs, drag racing, street racing, wheelies, this bike was constantly taken to its limits daily.
One day it really was taken to its limit. After hearing some strange sounds emanating from his engine, he decided to go a slight bit further until he could find a safe spot to pull over. "There's a trail of oil leading to my bike... with a puddle underneath it!"
"Uh oh. That crack doesn't look good!"
"Fuck. I can see my flywheels."
"FUCK."
But worry not. Since then, Shin's rebuilt his engine himself (with a little help of some friends) and is currently running tip top and stronger than ever.
Stay tuned for more FXR and Dyna antics!
