This is one of the cooler small engine choppers (I hesitate to call it a mini) that I have ever seen. Reader Bob Decker checks in with a few pics of his V twin, OHV Briggs & Stratton based bike. Bob says this thing will pound the pavement at 70mph @ 3600 - well hell […]
Quick video of some metal shaping using a buck and a hardwood metal slapper.
Here’s my quick review/rundown of the New England Motorcycle Expo this weekend…
Got there Saturday night a bit after 6pm - definitely was not crowded. I guess there were a lot of people there during the day, but it was pretty sparse when I walked in.
Cost to get in - yes yes, putting on these shows […]
I have a huge stash of videos bookmarked that I’ve collected with the intention of posting them to the site. I’ve almost got 40 of them saved, so it’s time to clear a bunch out of the queue. Everyday this week I’ll be posting at least one video for you to check out, some days […]
Reader Cole Jabusch checks in from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada folks) with a couple pics of his ride. Inspired by his friend Cory (who’s W650 we featured here not too long ago) Cole ripped a stock KZ440 into a grizzy pavement pounder. Nicely done.
The bike started out as a 1982 Kawasaki KZ440 belt drive. I actually […]
Is it me, or are there more people building Triton’s these days? Maybe I just never paid much attention to it, but there seems to be more people jumping on that train. Cool by me cuz I dig checking’ em out. Here’s a blog by a brit chap living Seattle. He’s in the process of […]
Trond Jensen checks in from Oslo with his ‘48 Panhead….

Really cool web site!!
My name is TROND JENSEN , and I live in Oslo, Norway. I own a 1948 fl panhead. It was a “basketcase” when i bought it 2 years ago. I have built it from the ground-up. It has a “suicide clutch and a […]
As a backyard greasebag, it’s kind one of those events you love to hate, but more often than not end up going anyway. Yup, it’s time for the Northeast Motorcycle Expo again; the bastion of billet, chrome and high dollar doodads. So why is a low rent guy like me going? Frankly, for all it’s […]
In a week or so I’d like to run a photo story focused on small and/or unorthodox workshops. So this is an open call for you to send in some photos and info (or tool list) showing off where you wrench. No garage spaces though - I’m more interested in seeing how people bust knuckles […]

I am an information junkie. When it comes to anything I’m interested in, I want to know everything about it. I’m constantly on the search for new information, new ways to learn things, the history behind how this became that and why it works that way. So I’m always on the search for cheap or […]
One of the sharpest evo chops I’ve seen in a while.

Believe it or not, we like to hear what you think about the stuff we post on this site. And by we, I mean me - since I’m the only one that posts shit. The easiest way to do this is to use the comments system.
What’s the comment system you ask? Dig it - built […]
Lincoln Electric published this PDF on how to make your own metal welding table. Relatively simple project, great for a novice welder (like myself). Material cost should be relatively inexpensive, and it’s a good way to practice.
Another quick and cheap way to get yourself a welding table is to scour the craigslist free section for […]
