I love the smell of Etch-Lok in the morning....

It smells like.....
Victory!

Final gear ratio madness!

Who said there would be no math in the Motorcycle Cannonball? Tonight I tried to figure out a happy medium with a single-speed final drive. Too tall, good for Oklahoma, sucks in Colorado! Too low, dead in the hills! I went from a 3.84 to a 4.38. Not quite a sidecar gear, but close!

On its way to Sturgis!

I finished the 1915 and it is on the way to the Michael Lichter 'Naked Truth' show at the Legendary Buffalo Chip in Sturgis. It will be on display with 34 other bikes in thew raw from all over the world. When it returns, I will race it at Davenport and then begin the process of tearing it down and painting it for next years Cannonball.
