Lotus is launching 200 BHP C-01 Super Bike!

The designer responsible for creating the Tron Legacy bike (Daniel Simon), Kodewa German Auto Racing Team and the Holzer Group is the team responsible for the new design. As I understand it, Lotus states this bike will be the best looker on the road and engineers will focus on design, ergonomics and high-end technologies. With the current market, I am sure Lotus could use the boost from another side of the auto industry.

Although I am sure this motorcycle is going to be well out of my price range, I am looking forward to seeing if this team of engineers and designers create a bike worthy of the cycle porn collection! Hopefully the name C-01 is just a working title!

3 names...Monster Craftsman, Jillian Rossi, and the Smoke Out 14!

As if setting up a booth to display their already well know product line, installation guides and how to seminars at this years Smoke Out in Rockingham were not enough, Monster Craftsman took it up a notch! They have just recently added pin striping seminars to the line up with Jillian Rossi.

"I have a natural ability to communicate and educate," said Jillian. "I'll be sharing my tips and techniques that will keep people riveted whether they are interested in pinstriping for themselves or not."

I myself will probably spending quite a bit of time at the Monster Craftsman booth, spending money and hounding the talent for their trade secrets. Perhaps I can offer up the bike for a class piece!!!! If you were still unsure about attending the event this year, perhaps your mind has been changed! Its not all about entertainment anymore! The seminars Monster Craftsman are putting on is what the Smoke Out is all about!

WILLOW bike Diaries!

Great documentary of the Willow bike built in the garage of  Troy Helmick that started off as a 1974 Honda CL 360. Better than excellent considering he is a retired photographer turned Alpaca Farmer!!!

Roller Stage Complete.....

FINAL TOUCHES

Well Tim Bradham (of Tim Bradham Hot rods and bikes) and I put the final touches on the new frame last Friday. It really has been a long road for this R&D project. I am having a lot of fun with this collaboration project. Hands down, Tim is one of the best welder I have ever seen. Its hard not to get excited about a simple frame, when the welds are laid down like art work! December 15th the frame will come out of the jig and i'll install the wheels and girder for a roller shot!

Scrap Metal Art

LEGO BIKE

My son and I threw this together. Added a drop seat section, extended the rear swing arm and threw on a fat tire for fun!

Meeting Ralph "Sonny" Barger.

The line was long and I had just enough time for an autograph and pay respects. Great guy with alot of protection. There were Hells Angels and Red Devils from Florida to Maine there filling the parking lot. The local Pizza shop and bar in the shopping center made out well! Froze half to death the way up, but warmed up by noon. All in all, it was a great ride!

They see me rollin, they hattin,

patroling and trying catch me riding dirty.

Not much for Chamillionaire, but I thought it fit. Some great shots from a friend, Shannon Loper of Shannon Loper Photography!! Can't say she is my personal photographer, but I can say I am her guinea pig for shots like this! Can't forget the driver Mr. Loper! Can't wait to help with the VW shots!

East Bay Dragons

Nicely Done Quad Cam!

Forced to enter!

Hooters had a bike show Saturday night, here in Fayetteville NC. A shit pile of bikes showed up some for beer and wings, others for the bike show. There were a few big guys hauling in bikes with trailers! It was a great time. Somebody pushed my bike over and entered it into the bike show with out my consent. It was covered in dirt, oil, grease and rough from my everyday riding! And low and behold, #75 pulled first place in the bobber class (is it a bobber?) The trophy is cool, but the gift certificate for the tattoo (Hot Rod Studio - Tattoo Shop, Fayetteville NC) is the shit! Gettn' sleaved this month!
