Friday Fun

Thanks to everyone who rolled out on Friday to hang out for Happy Hour. We've got to do this more often. Once we get back from the Twine Ball Run we'll put together a local weekend ride where we can all go out and blast around a while and then come back to the shop for some beers and tell each other lies.

Tar Ball Run 2010

Here's your chance to spread more oil around Florida!

Check out the Tar Ball Run 2010.

Grass roots events rule.

Doin' it Baja 4, 5, 6, and 7

I've been slacking on updates from the VBS trip. Here's some links to the latest episodes. I wish I had done something cool like rebuild a bottom end with a pocketknife or something, but alas, all I did was change a fuse, replace a few lost bits and find a campsite in a storm-tossed village that no one was stoked on. Heath boxing in San Ignacio was nothing short of epic though. Harv's bike blowing up sucked, but comes with the territory.

Long live big trips on motorcycles.

Old School Helmets

jOSH does it again. Neat lid for sale. Already broken in on the outside, brandy new on the inside.

Better Boogers & Saltgasms

Here's something we can all benefit from. Check these two new DVD's from our buddies Wes White of Four Aces Cycle and Tyler Malinky at Lowbrow Customs. They teamed up with David Bird and created a how-to video for both MIG and TIG welding. You can get 'em here. Apparently ol' Tyler has been paying attention 'cause his Bonneville racer is shaping up super nicely! Both Malinky brothers are chasing records on the Great White Dyno this year, along with Wes of course, and the team effort Salt Ghost bike. That is going to be one hell of a cool pit!

Happy Hour This Friday

C'mon by for a drink at the Tiny Bar this Friday. We need an excuse to quit early so we'll knock off and have some frosty adult beverages about 3:00 or so. We'll supply the beer. See ya' then.

FU MS

Lee Bender is raising money to get to Poland of all places so he can get a procedure that is illegal here in the US. He's got MS and has high hopes for this deal, so pitch in and buy a deck if you can. Go here.

Grass Valley Roll In

More Nor Cal madness. A word from Gus who runs the event and Goodtimes Skateshop in Grass Valley, CA: This a small event with lots of friends, beer, skating and sitting on the ground lookin at bikes. We will also have a great raffle with stuff for kids and adults from all your favorite skate and moto companies. come early if you like and enjoy the many swimming holes, skateparks, winding roads and great riding. There are more sponsors to be listed on the flier. Hope to see you there. Did I mention the best taco in a 50 mile radius from maria's in auburn, ca.

Death Science

Is anyone else reading this stuff over on Death Science? I look forward to Finger Food Fridays every week now. Ol' Fingers can spin a hell of a yarn. Check it out.

Street Chopper Issue Release Party

In case no one has been paying attention, Jeff Holt and crew have not so quietly been building a better newsstand chopper magazine. Relevant is a term that comes to mind. It's really hard to make a print magazine make sense these days. If an editor is lazy or out of touch the content is stale long before an issue hits the printer, especially in this age of instant-upload-high-bandwidth-internet-digital-blah-blah-blah. Even though we're some of those dicks who post stuff on the innerwebs long before a magazine can, I'll never lose my love for the printed paper rag. I read them growing up and I'll read them as an old worn out geezer too. Anyway, the SC crew bust their collective ass and do a good job of delivering stuff I want to read and I'm personally stoked to see the book get more advertising support, better paper and more pages. These recurring issue release parties are a good excuse to hang out on a lazy Saturday with some friends and swap lies, have a beer and catch up on things. Here's a couple collages of a some snaps from today, click on them to view 'em larger so you can see some detail.

Sacto Sporty

I'm stoked on how good our narrow 12" Apes look on Rich's Ironhead.

Keep in Touch

Hey, we've got some pretty neat stuff to roll out (new products and events) over the next couple months. If you want to stay up to date on what's coming up, join the Biltwell Facebook and sign up for the Newsletter while you are at it.

Outta Your Vulcan Mind?

Sorry, bad pun. Anyway, check out Luis' 97 Kawi Vulcan 800. What a great job on such an underrated bike. Frisco bars worked out perfect.

CB400T

Check this before and after CB400T sent in by Justin Holt. He also painted up his Biltwell lid himself. Nice work dude, that bike looked homely in stock condition!
