Okay I’m the first to admit my personal bikes don’t make ANY sense as a daily rider. But believe it or not they get ridden all over the place. Especially the white bike. The pink one has been on a few couple hundred miles in a day rides but your butt knows it when it’s over. The white one you can ride all day and it’s like riding a comfortable chair around. The only thing I have never liked about the white one is the lack of ground clearance with the staggered drag pipes. I’m tearing it down to change a few things and clean it up for Japan and decided I would fix the pipes while I was at it. I thought of making some, changing to a four into one, etc. I decided to give my buddy Ken at Cycle X a call. He is THE man when it comes to SOHC Honda choppers. He said he had just what I needed stashed for some future project of his and volunteered to give them up. These should look killer on the bike. Make sure and check out Cycle X when you have a minute. He even has a ton of stuff for the Triumph and HD guys.

One for Mr. Jones
Besides a being a really nice guy, a motorcycle enthusiast, and DJ, he also just happens to be the guitar player for the Sex Pistols. I never let him know it but when he came by the first time I had a HARD time keeping my cool. If you don’t understand why it’s not even something that can be explained. I’m glad he decided to have me do some work for him and even happier he’s a new friend. He has a killer custom GT1000 Ducati that will grace the pages of Cycle Source in an upcoming issue. Keep an eye out for it. It’s NICE!
All calfskin leather. Because everyone knows vinyl sucks. Solid brass nickel plated vented grommets.

Thanks Rollin
Big thanks to Rollin from Spectro Oil for patiently waiting for his sweet gift from me. He has supplied me with products for both bikes and even used me in one of his ads, so I thought it was only fitting to make him a wallet for all of his hard work!

One happy customer
It is always cool to watch someone expression when they receive their product. Today was one of those days! Along with the blistering heat there was a spot of fresh air when I spoke to Sandy. He patiently waited for me to come back to the Broken Spoke Campground to hand deliver his wallet that Duane just finished for him. This is one happy man. Thanks for the support and enjoy your wallet!!-Lisa and Duane
