Cotton eyed Joe

Seriously, if I had more money to spare this year I'd make carameled onions for the little dickheads in my neighborhood. Theres a family 2 houses down from me where no one works, everyone hangs out, and the dad is a moron....well, the mom is too. They have 3 broken down cars in their yard, one mini van that never moves, and I always see him riding a BMX bicycle while his wife and 2 kids are walking. I might just steal his bike as a nice trick this year. Take it to the shop and weld the rims to the frame, weld the crank bearings up and weld the seat on crooked, then replace it before morning.

Yer gettin f**kin good at that Travis.

You seriously might be better off just picking up one of Nyuks frames he has for sale now and again. After I wrecked mine I figured it was just the subframe that was tweaked. When I got down to it, everything from the f**kin front shock tower to the foot peg mounts had some sort of bend in them. Just for the hell of it I tried to put the gas tank back in the upper frame part and I would have had to beat it in. There was enough little bends and kinks n shit all through my frame that absolutely nothing would line up like it did new.

I just bought some bags of sulphur, charcoal, sodium nitrate, 5 lbs of 3/8" ball bearings and a hand full of 1/4" bolts. Little sumbitches gonna egg my truck again this year...... I don't think so.

The best road I've been on are some of the major roads through Idaho. Driving through Utah my truck acts like my tires are square, then you cross this imaginary line and its so quiet I gotta double check that I'm actually moving. Since I can remember though, the freeways here get so damn rough you can't have an open cup of coffee in your hands. Eating while your going down the road is like being in a f**kin food fight. They finally redid main street by my house. 4 lanes of shit for the last 8 years or more. Sections of it raised where they laid a pipe, washboard where the ground was soft. Now its smooth as glass. I bet they put in a new pipe that for some mysterious reason has to zig zag across all 4 lanes for 3 miles.

With the little miscreants in my neighborhood I'd be the lucky bastard to end up with it either tossed into the side of my truck or delievered via air mail through my front window. I'd like to put a stick of dynomite in one if I was gonna do any thing. Put a can of spaghetti-O's next to it to lure them in. BLAM! TRICK OR TREAT MOTHERFLOWER!

Gauss Rifle? Trebuchet? Tesla Turbine? VandeGraff Generator? I've built one of those. I hope to build at least 2 more on that list.

Women beer boobs. Don't make it a sausage fest. I've been to a few parties where the women outnumber the men 2 to 1 or more.

Does that eliminate the ball bearing between the rod-plate and rod-clutch lever arm? Send a brotha a part number if you got one.

Shit man! You're the Puff Daddy of Banshee parts.

While I'll admit the white paint looks like shit.......pure unadulterated feces.... I think they might have done it to show the pattern molded into the tires since it might be a little hard to see black on black. Whatchoo think?

TAG2 CR-Lo bend with my billet 1 1/8-7/8 adapter.

Thats what I was thinking. Either heavy duty springs, or a lockout, and trying to pull the clutch in with the engine revved. But then again could just be some random structural failure.

Exactly. Sad to say it, but listeners are only a small part of a radio station. They're not really in business for the music. Only in part. Demographics plays a huge part in it. The music draws in the crowds for the commercials. Advertising pays the bills with radio, so if the advertisers aren't making the return on investment through their advertising dollars, the radio stations can't charge as much for a 30 second spot, or the advertisers just don't invest the money. Then the radio station has to change formats, etc. The petition might do something, but if the advertising revenue isn't coming in, the radio station won't be coming back.

My dad and his brothers used to ride an event here called Cherry Creek. My uncle used to ride through the desert marking the course too. That was back in the day before an actual off road bike. Mostly they were BullTaco bikes, and other road bikes stripped down to race. He said they'd line up 100 bikes and go. Run what you brung, and first one across the finish line wins. Sage brush, desert washes, gullys etc.... track didn't matter. Just finishing the race is what mattered.

Theres a guy there that told me he works at Lifetime...but I can't remember his name. The parts I've taken in have been bare to begin with.... If what you have has powder on it, it has to be torched then sand blasted. I don't know if CVPC does that yet. Theres a few sand blasters around ogden/marriot. Best bet is to check the phone book. I got my site up and running about a year ago, so yeah...I guess you haven't been around here for a while. I did a swingarm in silvervein a little bit ago, and everyone that came into the shop asked me why I was selling it. The customer told me it was the best PC he'd seen, so I know they did a great job on it. They even cleared it for me. A hell of a lot better than Endless Powdercoating I'll tell you that. When its time to do my drag frame I'm definitely taking it to CVPC. If I can get into a new home with a decent garage I'm going to strip my orange bike down and have them do it too.

About 2 months ago there was a high speed chase with some guy on his banshee. My dad told me he saw something about it in the newspaper the night before but he tossed it. I couldn't find the article on line. The cop reported he was going around 80 or so.

Its not too hard to keep track of "out of state" business. I've done business in 3 different countries and 32 states so far and I'm really a small time company. 67 customers is alot, but thats why you schedule. I schedule when I have 9 jobs to do. I do it in stages if I have to. All saw work for 3 days, then all the lathe work, etc....If its more than I can handle, I let people know not avoid them. A little time and email will go along way, especially if you can tell the customer you'll be 3 weeks or 3 months late. I had to do it a week ago. The dude was cool with it and gave us 3 more jobs. A little courtesy goes a long way with some people. Not 100%, but most will understand.

What kind of monster are you gonna build? CR500?? TZ750?? MachIV?? Street bike?? MTT Turbine??

Just take it to ColorVision Powdercoating in Far West/North Ogden. Its in the Weber Industrial park. Get off the free way, hang a right, then hang another right on the road that takes you to Parker and Chromalux. Its right near JD Machine. The do excellent work and terrific prices. Call them and ask them for a quote. They have prices right there they can tell you. No oven minimums. Most of the stuff I send through gets done in about 3 days. On the a-arms, do not send them through. They'll explode. Get them chromed. I took mine to Ogden Chrome. Good job, but a bit pricey. Worth it to me though.

LMFAO I can hear him saying I AM SAM I AM SAM I AM SAM! while he's doing it.

Yep. I dance while I work too. Well, when we're not building ox carts or cooking in our Dutch oven. Some how I gotta get a few more wives. Getting busy at the shop and we can't get it all done.

LOL!!! Dont forget about the "non polluting" electric cars.

He must be one hell of a good sport to go through all of this.
