Rust Revival 09

This past weekend me, my dad, and my buddies Tom and Bobblehead went to the Rust Revival in Wayland, MO. It was a damn good time! Wayland is such a dinky little town. Half the buildings were condemned. The other half of the buildings were a Tattoo shop, a restaurant and a bar. The restaurant "Reeds Bar and Grill" was amazing. It has extremely affordable prices and REAL FOOD. It was NOT frozen meals warmed up like every other little greasy spoon type of restaurant. I mean this place had real potatoes for fries and chips. If your ever near keokuk, IA go to Reed's Bar and Grill in Wayland, MO. Also the pizza at Angelini's in keokuk is pretty amazing.

Enough about food, the show was fun, the drinks were plenty, and the bands where rockin. Heres some pics.

I might have to take the 56 buick to this rather than my BSA but it should be one rockin good time. Especially with these guys playin!
TURN IT UP to watch this vid!



Speaking of the buick, any ideas on paint? Im thinkin black, whith blue candy/lace over a silver flake on the roof and under the trim.

60's style

60's custom and modern stuff and stuff that is styled to mimic what was goin on in the 60's is my absolute favorite. I can go on and on forever with pictures but here are some examples why im obsessed with 60's junk.

Polishing

Tools of the trade......well tools for an amateur is more like it.

BSA progress

Damn, its been a while. Oh well, no one reads this shit anyways. haha

Progress has been slow on my BSA. Figuring out this springer/brake is no easy task.

I took the frame and springer to my friend Joe who is going to machine a top clamp for me since im an idiot and bought it without one. He got a cup machined for the lower bearing and now hes waiting on me to find a 1"x24 stem nut for preloading the bearings so he can figure out the measurments and make the piece.

I also took my 68 triumph brake over there and we came to the conclusion that hes going to have to machine a new axle for me too.

In the meantime Im going to finish polishing my backing plate on my new buffer (which kicks ass!) Hopefully ill be able to order a new David Bird hardtail from Lowbrowcustoms too.

Fresh Meat on Ryans sporty

Me and Ryan just picked up his bike from Watsons. He got some new tires put on. It looks so much better. The rear tires rubs the oil tank but we think adding a link in the chain and pulling the tire back will fix that. Now hes gonna put some new upsweep pipes on it, build some z bars and lower the headlight a little bit. This things gonna be the baddest bike in town. Actually it probably already is.
