sprotors and life

i feel bad for never updating this blog. i moved to sf like a week ago and am getting settled, so i'll have something to show soon.

i guess for now i'll just copy paste from my other blog every once in a while, which is updated pretty often. it's supposed to be mostly moped stuff, but it ends up being a bit of everything. maybe i should some how merge these two? hmmmmmm.

hopefully soon i'll have myself a job and will be able to get in on rufus' box shop, then i can start working on things again. i woke up this morning craving to get my hands dirty and i had no where to work! sigh.

anyway, ctrl+v from destroy, which is just a reblog from coc. I NEED A LIFE!

never though i would see a sprotor used in such a way that you hardly notice how lame it is.. looove japan choppers
seen on church of choppers.

ALRIGHT JAY SINCE YOU ASKED FOR IT...



the bike i been working on is currently for sale:

its 78 puch pinto
65cc metra kit
proma circuit pipe
21mm oko carb (its a spot on clone of a kiehin D-slide) with a brand new K&N air filter
heavily modified 3 shoe clutch with brace
powdercoat on everyTHANG
brand new tires

this motor once hit 62mph with a different pipe. my goal was to hit 65mph on 65cc but i got distracted and sold my other expansion chamber. the motor is a fucking tank. they dont make those metrakits like they used to.

so if youre in the sacramento well anywhere in california come take a look and kick the tires.

dairy teen, your #1 news source for things that happen outside my apartment.

as seen on my facebook and also that other blog i do


probably not the most effective way to bring down a building


good way to break someone else's truck, though


dude kicked that window out as the white truck skidded to a halt to box him in


duder jumped out of the truck all bloody and ran down the alley


before making it to my block he customized someone's prius


and took out a couple parking meters


truck dude was livid about his bumper


coppers caught him a couple blocks away. i tried to get his picture but a lady cop yelled at me, so i went home and had a bowl of franken berry. stuff's $.99 at grocery outlet!

apparently a contractor left his truck running at the construction in the alley down the street from me and this tweaker dude jumped in it and took off.
another contractor dude jumped in his truck to chase him (the white truck in the picture).

they blasted one stop sign, nearly hitting some people, which is why the stolen truck went up on the curb and took out the parking meters and prius. duder's truck wasn't handling very well after smashing the prius, and he tried to fly into the alley next to my house and that's when he hit the building.

most of this story is just what i over heard people telling the cops and news people. i saw the dude kick the window out and run away though.

ryan had a good point when he said the dude probably could have casually made a get away and nobody would have noticed but nooo FUCK DAT WATCH ME DO A BARELL ROLL

btdubs...this blog is dedicated to Guy Martin



last year i was fortunate to visit the isle of man. and while it wasnt for the tt, we were there for the manxgp. i was pretty stoked cause they race the vintage bikes at this event. however last years manxgp featured my favorite rider, mr. guy martin. the race i got see him, he finished 3rd or 4th gave his bike to his pit crew, jumped the fence, cruised through throngs of fans and bolted for the toilet. i laughed.

the xr69 he was racing:


this years isle of man he ditched the sponsors on his leathers and bike and went all black and classic honda color scheme.


and on the last race of the week, the senior tt, he blew that shit up:


in the wreck, he punctured a lung and 8 weeks later was racing again.


i read somewhere that producers of snatch hired guy to "coach" brad pitt on his accent...i mean listen to this guy, hes a freaking nut!

heres part two in case you want to finish the lap.

his blog is here.

kawa's rear end is nearly on

it's finally getting there! i'm excited to ride this bike, but i feel like i'll be ready for a bigger project soon after it's done.. hmm.

btws, ryan took all these fine fotos.


that's me back there lookin at dice or something i dunno.


that's rook back there playing with his moped.


that's rook again, sticking his motobecane motor in the frame of the kawasaki, no doubt thinking he's being clever.

as you can see, the rear end is mostly there. gotta weld in some supports and finish welding in what's there.
there's no photo of it, but i'm afraid the chain may interfere with the frame. we gotta find a new sprocket for it anyway, so hopefully we can get a smaller one and not have to worry about it. i was wanting to gear it out a bit anyway.

ok, that'll do for tonight. i'm off to san francisco tomorrow for the rest of the week, so you probably won't see much from me till i get back. later tater.
