Fab Kevin seat hinge part 2

My good brother Dan Kramer saved the Knuckle from some of my welding "skills" and did an awesome job of helping me mount Kevin's badass seat hinge, even with my fat ass on there it doesn't budge!!!! If your reading this blog you already know this but if you need EXCELLENT parts as well as customer service don't hesitate to Kevin a call..Roadside Marty

So you want a Knucklehead????

Well here you go..47 FL ,rebuilt top end (new valves,guides,cylinders,pistons and rings) M 74B Linkert carb comes with but needs to be rebuilt and for you hipsters it hasn't been modified for a 12 volt generator but that's an easy modification to do so if your interested give El Prez (Larry) a shout at garagecompanycustoms@yahoo.com sure wish it was mine!!!!! Roadside Marty 

Best in the business!!!

I was on the phone with Fab Kevin the other day and I mentioned that I was putting a frame mounted seat on my Knuckle to which he replied that now was the time to use one of his stainless seat hinges or else he was gonna put me in a figure four leg lock until I tapped out like a little bitch so I said send that muthafucka out brotha!!!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING Kevin, your a true brother and a man among men..Roadside Marty

Yard Art???

This Triumph was in Hurricane Katrina and a good brother of mine picked it up and it has sat in his yard just like this and now he's going to make some "yard art" out of it..

Gettin started!!!

Well Slash (Alan) got started tearing down his Knuckle to do the rebuild and overall everything looks in good shape.."The Curse" has claimed another victim..stay tuned for more updates!!

The Dixie Roundup!!!

This was the second year of the DR and brother it was a fuckin blast! I had such a great time just hanging out with close brothers and meeting new ones like Blu and Hate City Jeremy and a bunch of others that I can't fucking remember right now..the Lowbrow crew as well as Bill and the Biltwell guys, Dean from Dice,Wild Bill,Ross,Evo Ian,Loaf,Walt,Tim,Kustom Jeff,Spenser,Alvarez and FNA Eric and of course the lovely other halfs Kita,Lauren and Holly and Larry and Ashley who went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time and who picked an awesome location for this event!! I didn't take alot of pics because I'm a loser but be sure to check the blogs on the sidebar for great pics as well as better commentary or better yet get your lazy asses out there next year and see for yourself, I'm sure Slash (Alan Berg) will be tattooing a reminder again next year if you want one!!!!!

Hogs are beautiful part 2

The 47 Knuckle that's gonna go in the frame I scored over in NOLA and yeah I know I'm a lucky muthafucka!!!

Hogs are Beautiful!!!!!

I was extremely lucky to pick up this stretched Knuckle frame and Mustang tank over in New Orleans a few weeks ago for the 47 Knuckle motor that came my way back in March..not to go into too many details but this frame used to belong to one of the Galloping Gooses in NOLA and was painted by "Polack Joe" in 5/81 and I'm gonna run this baby just like she is so stay tuned for more updates on this true chopper time machine..Roadside Marty

SOA!!!!

I ran into this SOA member at the Bama Swap and I was hoping he would let me prospect so that I could one day be a "real bad boy" instead of the pretend one I've been all along according to some people but I guess he was about to have heat stroke wearing those chaps or he didn't recognize true BIKER material..either way I didn't make the grade but maybe one day??? Roadside

Bama Swap and Drag..good times!!!

I sincerely apologize to my many fans for my lack of recent postings, when you browse Internet porn your computer has a great chance of getting a virus therefore preventing you from doing anything with it..there's my PSA for this month now I know it was a couple of weeks ago but the Bama Swap and Drag put on by Rickey and Michael Lewis was simply KICKASS!!!!!!! It's been a long time since I was at a swap meet where you could actually buy PARTS instead of trinkets for that new Pakistani leather vest that your H.O.G. patch is glued on to so this was a real treat..I saw everything you could imagine from Cushman scooters (thanks Tim) to small block Chevy parts this swap had it all! As usual I saw some great brothers that I always look forward to seeing and even though Bill and Ross can't navigate worth a shit they still got us to a great BBQ place for lunch and I gotta say it was good to meet Ian as well he can sure take a joke..a cone shovel ain't nothing but a top end away from an Evo LMAO!!!!!!! Roadside Marty

Is there a cure???

Once again a brother has gotten to close to "Irene" and Knucklehead fever has taken hold of him,the last victim was Alan Berg but this time it was none other than the undercover lover Mr. Jay Miller aka Death Science Jay!!! Jay stopped by the shop after a wonderful brunch at Waffle House after picking up his new truck and I turned my back for just a second and when I looked back he already had his hands on the bars and was about to sit down on that Bates seat..well you can guess the rest..great seeing you brother,see you in Gaytona in a few days!!! Roadside Marty

Thanks to KCC!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce Mr. Kyle Tracy to our loyal blog followers..he's been a close brother of mine for a few years now and has helped your reporter out of more than one predicament (go figure) with a good laugh and a whole lotta knowledge! He's been building a Twin Cam chopper for awhile now and he will tell you straight up that he can't wait to put it in the Chopper Time show at Willie's, I've included a pic of Kyle with the abnormality he gets when he goes out in his shop (cold beer) and a shot of just one of the trick set ups he made for this chop..yeah, it's an H-D rear master cylinder and pedal flipped over to run a hydraulic foot clutch, just think about that one for a bit and realize how much work that took!!!! He's a devoted husband and father and U.S.M.C. veteran who works hard and is one helluva standup guy..can't wait to lay down some miles beside you on that thing brother!!!!!!!

DONE!!!!!!

Well tonight Scott put the final piece on my back and I couldn't be happier with the result!!! He free hand drew the design on there and asked if I wanted to take a look and I said fuck it brother it's not like I'm gonna be able to see it anyway LOL!! When you give a true artist the opportunity to be creative you just get such a beautiful tattoo..THANK YOU for everything brother!!!! "One last look at the countryside before I close my weary eyes, Southern air for my last breath here comes my sweet Angel of Death!!!!" Roadside Marty

Powdercoating with Daniel and Otis!!

My buddy Otis, this little guy will just steal your heart...wish I could take him home with me!!!

Daniel prepping the fork legs,this guy knows his shit!

I'm amazed at how quick this happens!

Prep work,as with most things, is key to a quality finish!

Daniel is a one man operation but his dad helps him out quite a bit (who by the way is one helluva cool guy) he used to work for one of the big coating companies in town but struck out on his own and with every business there have been ups and downs but the quality of his work as well as his excellent customer service skills have pulled him thru..he's a dedicated husband and father who works hard to provide for his family and I'm proud to know and do business with him!!!! If you need QUALITY work done I highly suggest giving him a call at (850) 501-1535 or an email at Daniel@dnapowdercoating.com...telling him I sent you might make the price go higher though LOL!!! I can't forget his newest helper,Otis, man I love that little guy..I have a special place in my heart for Daschunds and just as soon as I saw that little guy I knew he was special..THANKS AGAIN for everything Daniel..Roadside Marty

Chopper Dreams!!!!

I got my front wheel for my long bike in today..a beautiful 21" 7 square spoke Invader mag that is absolutely MINT!!!! I can't thank Jeremy Johnson of Muttin Cycles enough for working out a trade with me for this wheel..still kinda hard to believe it's actually mine!! Thanks again brother..Roadside Marty

Angel of Death..

This pic should be the second one but you get the idea..Scott outlined the wings last night and did a helluva job!!!!

It took twenty minutes to shave off my back hair so he could put this stencil on and yes I know how sexy my bald spot is ladies..we still have to shade in the wings and put the Forever Two Wheels banner underneath but we are getting there, I'm totally stoked with how it's coming together..here comes my sweet Angel of Death!!! RM

David Allan Coe!!!

D.A.C. played my hometown of Pensacola FL on Jan 7th and thru some fast phone calls and a whole lotta luck I was able to score a short interview with him and his son Tyler for Cycle Source! The interview will be out in the next issue of CS and I hope people dig it, it wasn't as easy to come up with questions as you think it would be and to be quite honest I was a bit star struck and nervous talking with the man..I mean he's a living legend in my book and I shouldn't have worried because after the second question he visibly relaxed and opened up about alot of things, musical,personal,professional as well as motorcycle related and it was a true pleasure talking with the man..I can't thank Chris Callen,Steve Pentland and Bruce Smith enough for all of their help in making this happen, it's a memory that I will never forget!!! Roadside Marty

Papa got a brand new bag...

I found this sweet points cover in some of my Dad's private stash of parts when he wasn't around..sure hope he doesn't notice it's gone because I really dig it...

I get a fuckin laugh everytime I see this sticker so I had to put it on something and plus it's a personal FUCK YOU to a real Grade A fuckin cunt..sorry if I've offended any of my loyal readers LOL!!!

Well after Biketoberfest I decided that since I was gonna keep this bike I might as well show her a lil TLC so Papa got a brand new bag..of parts that is..complete new charging system,rubber mount front kit complete, new top link,new front and rear sprockets and rear chain,new stainless steel rocker box oil lines,new rocker shaft end plugs,new coil and plug wires,new grips,new battery and battery cables,new sphereical swingarm bearings,new rear wheel bearings,rebuilt front end,new rear ss brake line and a new derby cover..fuck I think that's all..but I think it's time for at least a fresh top end (rings,pistons and a valve job) because she sure does suck down some black gold but I'm totally happy with her for now believe it or not!! Sorry for being so lazy about posting..Roadside Marty

Still can't believe it..

After all these YEARS, one of my bikes made it on the cover of The Horse!! That's been a dream of mine ever since the mid 80's back when I first started building my first H-D (my Sporty that I posted awhile back) when Chris Pfouts was Editor and David Snow was the Assistant Editor..man I fucking read and looked over those mags till the pages fell out, I couldn't get enough!!! For those of you who were fortunate enough to read some of Chris Pfouts editorials as well as the trials and tribulations with his Indian project and then thru the Snow era, those were some of the greatest articles written which in my opinion really kinda set the stage for the way things are now. I still read each issue front to back in one sitting but now I see alot of my brothers in there as well which really makes me feel good but those issues with Indian Larry (RIP) Paul Cox,English Don,Steg Von Heintz,Flynch and Fritz had an impact on me that still influences everything that I build to this day..personally I can't think of a better bike than my Knuckle for The Horse and I'm truly humbled that it's on there..like I said..a dream come true!!! Roadside Marty
