They certainly have better quality pics than me, but come on! ChopCult didn't publish a single pic from the back lot of the LOVE party. All the industry cool guys parked in front or inside. People who humbly built their own bikes and rode them to the party were in the parking lot out back. LAME to leave out the regular dudes who support all the wankers out front...especially at a party called LOVE!
Some of the best bikes there were in the 'peasant' lot in back.

LOVE Cycles party PART 2
okay enough with the stupid explanations of each pic. some are industry cool guys' bikes, some are bikes of the people who rode in to party, and they're all pretty rad bikes. who cares which is which? i'm sick of cool guy blogs that only focus on pics of other insider cool guys' bikes. we all ride and we all dig customized bikes, so there's no real difference in my eyes.
sorry it's taking so long to post, but my laptop is worse than useless. i really need to take it for a drive into the desert, execute it, and bury it in a shallow grave.
with that being said, here's some stuff i saw and took pictures of so now you can see it.
ps-
the bare knuckle bobber below was my favorite overall bike of the whole show...fuckin knuckleheads, why must you be so expensive!?

Hey Fellas, its been a while since ive done any new posting. I recently scored a little deal with Bill from Chop Cult and I got to build some Chop Cult Exclusive bars. Theyre called the "Hey Zeus" bars. I get bored when I gotta make the same bar more than once, so these kinda details is what I do to keep me interested. haha. Thanks for looking! Ive got more stuff in the works, just been getting stuck waitng on parts and such to actually finish anything. Once I get more stuff to show, Ill humbly post them on here.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the members on here that support my small business. Take care fellas.

Man can not live on choppers alone
Commute around town ridin wheelies, skidding and drifting corners, hoppin curbs, airing down stair sets like a bmx hooligan...what more could you want in a trouble-maker scoot?
I got this pic from www.bikeexif.com so if you like that bike, check out the site.
Pics from LOVE Cycles 3rd Anniversary party, PART 1
Excuse my crappy camera and crappier photo skills. The place was so crammed full of cool bikes, I literally couldn't even back up the few extra steps it took to get some of the bikes completely in the frame.
very cool mag fired gennie shovel setup! this guy's running the same oil line reroute that mike from old-stf sells, only this guy is using flexible lines.
very beautiful paint on the tank and fender, with matching brown grips, and it was a shame i couldn't get into position to get this whole bike in frame. it belonged to some industry cool guy, but i can't remember who...anybody recognize it?
original ed roth cobra trike body and frame!! she looks like a bit of a rat (fink) at the moment, but the owner james ray told me it's scheduled for paint and a more fitting headlight this summer. talk about a historical survivor man, this is one of about 20 ever sold and the tough old bastard who's owned it for thirty years said he still rides it almost every day!! right on james ray, ride on!
there were a couple pretty cool chopped ol' cages with tasteful rat paint and this one had a very nice flourish of pinstriping to accent its trunk lid.
these are detail shots of the LOVE Cycles shop's flagship bike. she's a beautiful knucklehead in a sexy and unique chopper setup that could only come from LOVE! i could have taken 20 pics of this bike alone, with all the cool hand-fabbed details, but lack of space and excess of people prevented me from getting decent shots. i'm sure some of the other blogs will do a better job of covering this beautiful ol' scoot. just the tank and sissybar alone blew my mind!
this is what's-his-name's fuckin awesome knuckle bobber that i'm sure most people have seen elsewhere a hundred times. it was cool to finally see it in person!
one of the coolest things about the party was that Tom Fugle, co-founder of the Forasteros MC, was there hangin out chattin and sellin his custom leather goods. this is his bike, a real classy long haul scooter with plenty of both show and go to spare...i just wish i could've gotten some better pics of it! there was a pretty good turnout of Forasteros from all over at the party, and they all seemed like pretty cool guys. i chatted with Hammer for awhile, and said hi to Tom, and was generally diggin the vibe they all had at the party.
there's only about 80 more pics to go through, so i'll keep puttin up more over the coming week...enjoy!

Pics from the LOVE party coming soon
Stay tuned!
BSA Continuing....
After a super busy week at work 10 hrs a day and worked saturday.... Put that together with my 2 hour drive I'm exhausted... Caught my little one's cold, but I had to get something done today. Worked on a sissy bar, I think the bike will be ridden mostly without a rear fender locally, or with fender struts, but I need to have a way to transport some clothes, gas, and my side arm... for the ZenBastard's Beer Run and Brawl
.
I'm happy with her, but.... I hope it wil be strong enough for 30-40 pounds
So you can see she's coming along, did the exhaust clamps, and started situating the front brake, and locating electronics, you can see the regulator on the front, and the coil between the carbs.
To do list;
Oil lines
rear brake
wire up
front brake
fire up

Fresh Ink
Hey guys. Greetings to all its been a while since ive contributed here. Im like "skipping laundry poor" right now so securing a digi cam for blogs can be an issue.
But, I got ahold of one and got new tat pics. The idea came to me in the shower, so cliche (spelling- dont give a fuck). I love the creative, independent, defiant spirit of ed roth's Rat Fink, the man himself, and the psychadelic builds he created. Not always my style, but ALWAYS Ed Roth's and thats what matters. Build it to impress yourself and feed your own creativity.
So, the meaning of this 1st tattoo for me: I always have and always will battle demons and come to embrace angels. That is the fight of my life. That being said, The foundation of all angels and devils is the same Human/Rat creature that all we are all based on (for me). Beautifully alive and vigorous and brutally, honestly, shit-ugly in the right light.
Long live the Rat Bastards!
Ink done by Mark Tattooyoo of Minneapolis, MN. The man has become something like the family surgeon, and I think his work merits that. Has no shop, no ads, and still has too much work to handle
