Second Mock Up

Frame welded, engine mounted, tank fitted, dummy bars, seat and fender just sitting.

We bought a flipcam basically with the sole purpose of catching moments like this.

Handlebars

In an effort to keep practicing my welding skills I decided to do something with the pair of buckhorn style handlebars that originally came on my xs650.

Here's how they began life:




Here's now they look now:

First Mock Up

I just got my welder fixed via my buddy Timmy, and am finally at the point where I can begin the hardtailing process on my bike. I'm a novice welder at best, so my plan was to get it in place (it's a TC Bros hardtail), tack it, and then have someone with a TIG finish the welds since I'm not as confident in my welding yet.

Well, I got everything in place, did several tacks and did my first mock up this afternoon.





I was so high on the excitement of making progress with the bike (it's been sitting completely unassembled since late December) that I said fuck it, and started finishing the welding with my MIG. I think it went pretty well though. I got about 70% of all the welding done and began grinding late this afternoon.

The combination of the TCB hardtail and a peanut tank isn't the most original combination as far as Yamaha choppers go, but I'll be damned if it isn't beautiful simply because it's mine.

Obie Trice & 50 Cent VS. Supertramp

Mp3 version here: OBIE TRICE & 50 CENT vs. SUPERTRAMP

Rza & Gza VS. Booker T

This one took a bit of work to sound right. It's still a weird match. Whatever. Rza and Gza doing "Third World" and Booker T & The Mgs doing "Comin' Home Baby". As with all the others, the beat and extras by me.



For just the mp3 version, go here.
