The Limpnickie Lot Gives Back Program

masthead-top3

Daytona is not is my reach but Lisa is going to work for The Broken Spoke Saloon and Cycle Source Magazine. Big thanks to Brian Elliot for allowing me to have my books on display at the Limpnickie Lot. If you are heading to Daytona, it would be cool if you could throw some support to the kids-Thanks!

The Limpnickie Lot has joined forces with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida who is helping raise awareness for childhood hunger in Central Florida.

During Daytona Bike Week, there will be drop off boxes set up at The Stone Edge Skatepark located at 1848 South Ridgewood Ave in South Daytona Beach. We are asking you to join us, be a part of a special cause and bring a few can goods when you head over to the Lot. A small grocery bag hanging off your handlebars could help us greatly.

We help the economy during Daytona Bike Week; now let’s help the community that serves us thru out Daytona Bike Week.

To find out more about the Second Harvest Food Bank, please go to http://www.foodbankcentralflorida.org. You can also make a small donation on there site.

Oh Canada

Had a knock at the door and was surprised to see our friend Shawn Britton, from Canada, standing there. This man is a true traveler and he is about to embark on a solo trip thru Mexico. The last time we met up with Shawn was at the Ground Zero Throwdown in New Mexico ,he did that trip solo as well. I wish I had the balls to be this free. Have a safe trip and we will see you when you get back.

Latest seat

IMG_1513 IMG_1512

Last week was one big cluster f***. We got hit with a virus and it proceeded to destroy our home computer. I have someone looking at it and should find out if anything can be saved. Good thing I have orders to keep my mind busy.

Here is the latest seat done for Kirk Taylor. I have included my new cast fist stamp, which is now available for the hand tooled seats,  bags, other product on special request.

This is why I love California

Lisa used her small camera as we headed home from Murrieta last night. Sun is setting and the road is open, just the way I like it. Mid Feb, I am in shorts and it is about 60. As you can tell it is a little bumpy on the back of the bike. Enjoy!

I ran into Dain at the Grand National Roadster Show and he was taking about a original AEE patch that he had from back in the day. I received letter yesterday from Dain and this sweet AEE patch. Thanks a lot and I wish you well for the future.

Giant Drill

Picked up a 1977 Remington 15” 3/4 hp drill press. Mike D also picked up a 65 pan motor and trans on the same rainy trip. Tore the drill completely apart and cleaned it all up, new grease, etc. Runs like new.

Oh man, these are good

Received this little box of happiness from Shige yesterday morning. I need to save some of these fantastic cookies for Justina Davis but I don’t know if I can make it. They are addicting!

Look for it in the Limpnickie Lot Booth

DB_chickenwing

I was asked to send something for the Limpnickie Lot booth so I sent them this wall panel to display.  I don’t usually have extra seats or wallets lying around as I do everything one-off. The whole panel is hand tooled and sewn by me. Be sure to stop by their booth at #2817 and pick up your copy of the Limpnickie Builder Manual! Thanks!

Be There!

I can’t make it to the V-Twin

limp3 Duane Ballard

Be sure to stop by booth #2817 and grab Vol 2 of the Limpnickie Builder Manual at the V-Twin Expo. Chris Callen stepped up to the plate once again and put together  another great catalog for the all of Lot members. Unlike last year’s booth, that featured a concrete jungle theme, this year it’s all about what we build. In the 10x 20 booth titled “The Limpnickie Garage” attendees will get the vibe of what life is like in any of the Limpnickie Builder’s shops. A complete working shop, bike in the middle of being built and of course, parts waiting for a new home all over 40 feet of work bench and pegboard. Be sure to check it out!
