Mini-b is

Doing some amazing shit to his helmet.

Although I typically only talk about tits, ass, tattoos and bikes here, I give craftsmen of all crafts great respect.

Mini-b is a fine wood smith and finish carpenter that prefers making shit the way it used to be made. In this instance he is taking the plunge and using real wood veneers and inlaying a pretty complex pattern on his only helmet.    To think I complain about painting this stuff... He is hand cutting each and every component and gluing it in place seamlessly.      Your shit is going to be fucken killer vato.

What Awesome Looks Like

Need more speed ? Add more cylinders or engines, seems logical.

Love the old school hot rod mentality and back yard engineering of its early peak, you know, When Popular Science had how to machine something or how to make this or that on your hobby lathe rather than the latest application for your stupid smart phone.

Don't get me wrong, I love new tech but I don't want the old forgotten either.

The moral of my rant is ; there is great honor in learning the art of building things by hand and teaching this art to those willing to carry on and add to this knowledge.

You all know who you are.

I made the seat pan though.

Sweet Steam Punkish Throttle Linkage

I'm not sure who did this but it's super Rad.
I may have to steal the idea for something in the near future.

We will miss you Grandma

My grandma passed last night , major bummer.

She will not be forgotten and we should all be as lucky and blessed to live life as long healthy and full as she has . Adele Seidler 1917 to 2010 .

Outta Control , Roland's Beezer

I have been talking to Roland from across the pond in France.

This "Beezer" project is turning out pretty sweet. I love his use of stainless steel round bar and his intense attention to detail. Follow his build at http://outta-contol.blogspot.com/. Keep up all the great work Roland you are a fine motorcycle metal artist.
