That's right, it's my blog and I can write what ever I want....
I think this is me suffering from an Ice Gin Head Ache, sort of like the kind you get when you pound down a Slurpee way too fast.
My carb on my bike still runs like shit, but I blew my cash on a couple of new guitars.
I don't have A/C in my house so I wonder about sleeping in the back of my SUV. I got one of those portable DVD players so I could keep myself entertained until I fall asleep, or run out of gas. Then at $1.20/litre it might be cheaper to just buy the house A/C, but I keep thinking I am going to sell this place and move down the road from Clem. I could get me a double wide and anytime I got the urge to move, just tow it to the other side of the lot.
Did you know you can still buy a vacant lot in the town of Donavon Saskatchewan for $250?
I thought about this, but it would be too far to cab it home after a "fun" gig....
My friend Mike Hughes is a good guy, but he pisses me off because he is quiting his job in 71 more days. (12 more Mondays) I am jealous, plain and simple. He must be rich because he is way too young to retire. I think he is planning to go on the road strumming his guitar singing songs about the South Land....and cooking Johnny Cakes on a Hibachi.
Mike sent me a funny You Tube clip of a guy named John Smeaton, a Glasgow airport worker who kicked the shit out of the two crazy terrorists who tried to drive a Jeep loaded with gas into the terminal building to kill people. You can check out the link here
His famous line is ....”Come to Glasgow and we’ll set about ye” I think if I went out on a limb it would translate into "well Straighten you out"
So I bought this car thinking that it would make a good restore project. I think it will but who has the time....plus it looks like shit in my driveway.... (sorry Lou)
So I have decided I am going to sell it. Holly Hell, the bizerkers who phone and say "what you mean it runs and drives and dosn't need to be safety checked? humm I'll give you $200"
Thank God for email, that way half the half baked morons who just want a friend to talk to simply entertain themselves with "hey man cool car, can you send me three hundered more photo's?" It helps avoid the phone calls when I am hung over. I mean, I am selling it cheap, but not that cheap, plus it's in the driveway and my address is in the ad. If you really want to see it drive by.....
Actually I am thinking of selling the trim on Ebay, as if I parted it out I would make a whole bunch more...
For about $4500 total you could have this, done with new interior as well.
That includes the $500 I want you cheap bastards
Custom Made Saskatchewan Choppers!
This is a couple of pics of a bike my good buddy Trevor is building. Painted by "Too Tall" with perfect detail, this candy green chopper is so hot it's cool!
This stuff is right up Trevor's alley and if you recall from my previous post he is the guy who helped me with my rebuild. All of Trevor's choppers have won awards and this makes bike number 8 (I think, or at least in the last two years!) I'll bug him for more photo's. In the mean time check out Too Tall's web site
http://fptoot.sasktelwebhosting.com/As promised Trevor sent me some more shots of a custom Pan Head he put together for a guy here in town. This project sat around in various garages for about 12 years before Trevor finally got his hands on it. It just doesn't get any more old school retro than this! I understand he even made those custom pipes
Check out the detail of the paint on the frame as well. That's a lot of detail in the four color & pin strip flame with that flawless over lap as the licks cross over itself. (Too Tall painting) Also if you didn't know, that is a jockey shift with a custom shrunk skull head.
Trevor will be the first to tell you that no one cares how they do it on the "West Coast", or "Orange County". This is the way choppers were meant to be. This black one below is the bike he presently rides. I suspect it has one more season until something gets changed. The candy apple red below was one of his first. This had the classic shovelhead motor.

Here is a pic of Trevor in his element.
Another award winning custom chopper with an S&S motor and fat back tire. This was built from parts off the Internet.

O.K. look at the guy above, and the guy below in the centre. Erie resemblance to each other hu?
Well the guy "on top" is none other that the "Reverend Horton Heat" tearing it up in one of our favorite bars.
These boys had nothing but fun that night..
This is Paul and Jason practising for the handsome contest..... Jason even brushed his teeth for the big night, but of course rinsed with beer.
Horton Heat and Jimbo, (that's J-I-M B O) one cool show. No one got hurt, arrested or pregnant so all is well!
