Skatemaster Kevin

Kev's mint 550. The flame tamer
Sean stopped by too on the 2-snotter.
Threw some stickage up on that piece.
A true player.

Krinkstrand

Welp, it finally can stand up on it's own. Simple, and removable. It was kind of a bitch to make it work properly, but it works. Gonna make a triangle piece for the bottom so it doesn't quicksand on sunny days. Fuck, it's better than jamming a rod in a hollow footpeg.

Oh yeah, Matt made some pullbacks for it too.
We'll get some better pictures of that once he's done shaping up the mounts.



Whoops

Sometimes life gets rowdy. Just remember to stay on the throttle, and everything will end up alright.
A friendly push, and better dooby locations help too.

Brick house

Matt's amazing springer is here. We don't have the tools, or the knowhow (yet) to make something this nice, but Eric Barnett of Speed Junkie Cycles (Flint, MI) knew just what to do. I think Matt is happy with it.




Still gotta make a handlebar plate.

Perfect fit.

"I DON'T HAVE BRAKES!"

One time last season, Matt flew past me going down a steep hill at about 55, coming into a red light at a dead end intersection. He looked over and yelled that his brakes were gone. I don't know how he managed to pull that off without eating shit, AND without going past the light...But I do know that'll probably never happen again

Workin on the Ironhead


Tony and Matt have been bust'n balls tryin to get this season goin. Haven't had any updates on Tony's old exploder in a while, I don't even think you've seen the rigid.
Ribbed trump fender, hand made sissy bar. He finished up the 21 and got the rubbers mounted. Found some old jammer risers, and made some narrow splitter bars. We're all lovin the stance with the factory extended tubes. Might go with an alien tank, who knows. Paint is still up in the air too.
Fender struts
This happened for a while
Sassy jig
Dang
Lookin good

2012 Detroit Autorama

Didn't check too much out this year, the basement is where everything's at anyway. It's kinda like the hangout for outcasts who didn't put $100,000 into a car that doesn't even drive. If it's ratty, it's down there. If it's not a crotch rocket, bagger, or OCC eyesore...it's down there. Pretty much right where we belong. I only had my camera out for about 5 minutes, so the selection here is pretty random.
Nice
Brothers customs. Hot rod and flathead experts
Bubble top!

Check this bike out in ShowClass magazine
"You can have any color you want, as long as it's black"
"...and has flames"

Gettin tired of taking off paint.

Q: How do you remove a quarter inch of paint and bondo from some hippie's old sporty tank?



A: You use an axe.

Yep, it's gonna be one of those days. Gotta update this piece. Front ends are here, metal has been cut, bikes are rolling. Looks like Winter is about but, but who knows.
Michigan's been going from 50-60 degrees...to 30 and snowing, on and off everyday for the past week. It's a strange place...

Fuckin man party

In honor of Matt's birthday, his family through him a man party. Good food, good times and good friends.
