Garage Remodel

Because of my obsessive compulsive issues of having too much shit, I ran out of garage space and had to go vertical. With the help of my pops and my buddy Bryan I created a whole bunch of shelving and vertical platforms for the projects. Projects on top, complete bikes on bottom.

Another one followed me home

I found this 1964 T100SC in Chicago. A kid was about to BOBBER it but, like most people, lost interest. And I'm thankful for that. 1 of 342. it somehow made it's way to Chicago from Oregon. It has a rich history of racing up and down the West Coast. And most amazing of all, I managed to convince my 70+ year old parents to drive from Ohio to Chicago to get it, and then drive clear out to California with it. It's obvious my parents are enablers. I plan to build it up as a sister bike to the '55 for riding dirt with. No frills dirt bike.

Hybrid

I saw this thing needing rescued down near San Louis Obispo, and you know how I am with strays needing a home. It was just weird. A unit motor modified (with questionable craftsmanship) into a rigid pre-unit frame. I've been told my some to just replace the seat tube and return it to a stock rigid frame and sell the motor for parts, but they can't see through the ugly and weirdness like I can. Depending on the direction I go with this, I may or may not change the uncompleted rake to stock. But it will definitely be going to a frame guy to straighten out as it will definitely still have a unit motor. And I don't make ugly bikes.











I think if I keep the rake it will have a drag bike vibe to it. 21" in front, short bars, big rear tire.


ouch

Another pea in the pod

1964 Triumph TR6R DONEZO

Back in the day I would be posting every day with every bit of minutia about the build I was doing. But sometimes it's nice to just suddenly have a finished bike posted. And here she is. Now that I have a bike to ride this summer, back onto finishing the '62.

1969 Honda CB750K

Another Craigslist find. I was looking for a another CB750 and this one popped up. I knew it was an earlier one, but it proved better than expected. It was a 1969, non-sandcast but still an early K0 with the wrinkle tank that sandcast 750s have. The bike was in very good cosmetic condition, new seat, but it appears the final drive bearing in the transmission blew up. That will require splitting the cases. I pointed that out and got it for 1/4 of the asking price. I was going to flip it but I think I will hold on to it for collector purposes and a "someday" bike. I have a nice 4-4 exhaust to put on it and it will then be bone stock.
