Power -

Time and time again while riding my chop, I tried lifting the front wheel off of the ground with no luck. Not enough power under me and too short of a front end. So, with the work I'm putting into the bike, I'm waking the engine up a bit with a new cam, lifters, and pushrods.

It'll make wheelies more possible and cracking the throttle on the highway a little more fun. Especially when I'm passing cages on two-lane roads with traffic bearing down on me from the other direction. I can't wait...





Gotta get my engine out of the frame and make a trip down to Deluxe in Denver to see my friend Randall...

Shamrock -

Hello? Hello?.... Hello?....Hello?......


Been pretty busy over at Rich's. Jobs are getting finished and shipped out while more keep coming in - Thanks to everyone who supports Shamrock Fabrication.

Got personal projects that need time as well, not enough hours in the day... anyone know where to find a nice, reasonably priced shovelhead? Just the engine, nothing else...

Pipe Down Son

Got going on my pipes this past week. Had a little problem on my first day, pin-holes in the welds. I spent most of the day mocking, cleaning, welding, and grinding - only to fuck up not once, but twice. Don't know if it was impurities in the metal or my welding? So, frustrated, I gave up and decided to try again the next day.

Came in the next day and busted them out, no problem. Over-cleaned every piece and took my time making sure I didn't waste the day.

Our good friend Rudy from the NorthWest gave Rich some kick-ass finned exhaust tips when we were in Spokane one year. Rich is letting my use them on my re-build. Pretty cool.

Almost all done, should look and sound good ripping down the highway...








Got out on my FXR today for the first time in a long while. Spring's here - speed signs are pretty unnoticeable to me when I first get back on the bike... actually, they're almost always unnoticeable, unless I'm riding by a smokey.

Changes -

Front end is getting some work done to it, inside and out. Race Tech suspension kit. Better handling, as well as a different look...


Been busting out the pipes the last few days. Messed up a little, took a break, then rocked em' out once I got my rhythm back. I'll save that story for another time though...

Steamroller.......? Anyone got a spark?

Whiskey and Drunks - St. Patty's

It's a bird, it's a plane, nope, it's a bottle of Jameson, and it's gonna fuck you up.



If you're standing upright by the end of it all tonight, and can form a full sentence without slurring, getting slapped, or falling down - beware of girls like this, that bucket might be your face at some point.

Killer boots.

Some images of what's to come...
