The Hogepoge Pan

I'm not really into naming vehicles but this one just came to me so, the " Hogepoge Pan " it is. I had to switch primary covers to clear the foot clutch and put it back to chain drive to fit the new cover ( go figure )




My cousin made me a new tool bag and surprised me with it  last weekend

Progress

The '59 is coming back together nicely. I got the tanks repaired and pressure tested today and fixed the brake crossover tube yesterday


Oh yeah this is for the censors


out of it's old home and ready for the new one 

switched to a mechanical lid


found out they cut two inches off of the tube, after paint of course 

Silicon bronze works way better than brass

O.C.M.D. gone wild

I have been out in the shop spinning all kinds of wheels. My '59 project is coming together and the '69 I rewired is off the lift and running sweet.

Puzzle piece

After a month or so the primer finally cured on the wishbone. The weather was right today so I decided to apply some color to it, I mixed up some black and helped out the ozone.

Friday's tattoo day

Went for a bike ride today. I met up with my friend Johnny and got this nifty tattoo, found out that another friend was doing the same thing in the next town over so I rode over to meet up with him after mine was finished. Nothing better than a 50 degree day in January for a little chopper fun.

Stop one. Eye Spy Tattoo, Petaluma





Stop two.



I gotta start taking more pictures....but what fun would that be
