some quiet time with short ribs
...and got to hang out with just my ol'lady (that's biker talk bro). We had 4.5lbs of short ribs marinating for 2 days in one of my favorite Hawaiian Style Korean BBQ (Kalbi) sauces and they were ready to be grilled. Gonzalez Northgate Market has a rad meat section with butchers ready to cut you slabs of whatever you want; you may remember it from a previous post.
What's the rectangular pieces? Spam. Threw some left over pieces in there and let them marinate too. Soo good. Spam has been my biggest trick for all my 'mainland' friends.
Whatever concoction I bring it in to parties or pot lucks, I always get a "you brought what?" Funny thing is, it's the first thing to disappear every single time. Fancy pants L.A parties to backyard barbecues. There's a right way to make it though.
But this post isn't about Spam. This is about my glorious kalbi short ribs. Oh, I added 6 minced cloves of garlic to the 2-day marinade too.

Custom Chrome's Short Lived FXR Kit
It must've been roughly 5 years ago, I don't remember, Custom Chrome sprang this FXR kit on everyone and I was totally floored. Who's making them? Who designed it? John Reed maybe? How's it ride & handle? Before I got any answers, the FXR kit was discontinued and never to be seen again. Flash in the pan...
Fast forward to the now, as in today, and I get this email from Tom Edison over at Works Performance. "Check out this bike my friend Joe Zanelli built. It's using that CCI FXR frame, tail section and seat that came with it."
"Marchesini wheels, Paioli front end, Brembo brakes, V-Rod headlight and Works Performance's Racer Piggy Back shocks. It's pretty neat."
"It should be fast too, because it's running S&S' T-Series (Twin Cam style) 124" engine and a matching FLT style transmission. He's also running the IST ignition, so the rev limiter won't let him really get on it yet until it's broken in. He says it feels pretty good so far. "
