Front wheel for my Knuckle!!

Okay the shit's about to get serious,here's my front wheel that's goin on the Knuckle, my Dad gave me the hub and the rim is one I had lying around..had to special order spokes from Buchanan's (stainless steel if you please) while I didn't get a pic of him throwin it together I have to give a big thank you to Jeremy (my sister Kathy's ol man) for lacin it up..he's been hanging around helping me out at the shop and he asked if he could give it shot when I went to lace it so what you see is what you get..great job brother,you nailed it!!! Roadside

New seat!!

Well it's finally underway, a few years ago Teach gave me a few of his seat pans and told me to do something with them..fast forward to present day, I needed to come up with a seat for Purple Haze now that my Knuckle project is in full swing so I'm using one of the pans that fits the narrow profile of the bike and I'm having Dave Theobald cover it,he's the cat that does Jeff Cochran's stuff as well as Papa Clutch,check him out at Theobaldleather.com! I'm also doing some more upgrades (does it EVER end) already so stay tuned..can you say Acme Choppers narrow chrome springer???

The rewards of dumpster diving!!!

I was at one of the water wells that I service for my citizen gig when I saw a box dropped off by the dumpster by our fence well when I went to toss some bags in I looked down and saw some albums and look what Roadside found..some true classics, they are in pretty good shape but they had gotten some overnight condensation on them so they aren't in perfect shape but I will still treasure them!!!

The fucking best one of the bunch..David Allan Coe..Rides Again!!! I have wanted one of these albums ever since I was a kid! I got to see him at a show last week and his last song was..yep you guessed it, Panheads Forever..and he sang it in it's entirety, certainly one memory that will last a lifetime!! Don't be too jealous muthafuckas..Roadside

Cycleboyz!!!

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIRT!!!!!!

While I was walking around the Full Throttle Saloon during THBC's kickass bike show last year in Sturgis I saw a young dude walking around with this shirt on and I just had to tell him how much I dug it..well he knew who I was and said if I wanted one to give him an address and he would make it happen, now I've heard shit like that promised before so I didn't really give it much thought but the other day I got a package from Canada with these goodies..THANK YOU guys..that was too fuckin cool, be sure to check out their blog at www.CYCLEBOYZ.blogspot.com you'll be glad you did!!! Just as soon as I get the new Flat Broke shirts and stickers done you guys will get da hookup..Roadside Marty

Thanks Dirty Ed!!!

I first met Ed at The Smokeout along with Bad Monkey Ian in 06 and I'm glad I did..each one of them have become true brothers that I'm fortunate to know! Ed is a certified FXR junkie like myself and is always on point looking for anything FXR related, well he found a true treasure at the last Charlotte swap meet when he found these louvered side covers that had never even been opened!!!!! I inquired as to what plans he had for them and the next thing I know I get a late Xmas and B-Day present at the same time..THANKS ED!!!! Stop by and check his blog (see my sidebar locator) I guarantee you won't be disapointed..Roadside Marty

Darren's Pan!

The original bike came from New Orleans and was a Katrina survivor, a real swap meet special, nothing wrong with that at all but all we are using is the motor and tranny!

Darren liked the way the neck was windowed on my frame so it's bye bye to that plate!!

Paughco rigid frame, no rake no stretch no fatbob mounts..a perfect platform, I've used Paughco's stuff for years and I think they make damn good products..now send me some free shit!! Darren's a good guy and a great brother, I've known him for almost ten years now and I'm humbled that he wants me to help him build his dream..stay tuned as we will show more updates as we do a full mockup. A narrow Paughco springer and Paughco Mustang tank, spool 21" front wheel with upsweeps with cocktail shaker mufflers, this bike is gonna be sweet!

"Big Rig" aka Erin

I had the real pleasure of meeting Big Rig and his fine ol lady in Santa Rosa, NM at THBC Smokeout West and if they are any indication of the kind of people that ride in Oklahoma then that ain't a bad place to be in my book!!! I hope to take you up on that offer of a visit sometime in the near future brother and if any of you are around the OKC area and need some parts or fab work for your rod or ride give him a shout at Helvey Scoots and Sleds (405) 740-2026..tell him Roadside sent ya!!!!!

Merry Xmas to me!!!!

Notice the cutdown rocker clutch pedal courtesy of Father Fury aka Rico Fodrey..and before any of you keyboard fucking commandos say a fuckin word, yeah it's a repop Knuckle frame..so fuckin what!!! I'm ready to run this muthafucka and I ain't waitin around to collect an inheritance check so that I can buy an original Knuckle frame so there you have it!!!

Well I FINALLY got started on mocking up my 46 Knuckle..man has this been a long time coming..notice the correct Linkert carb thanks to Big Paul at Bare Knuckle Choppers for saving my ass yet AGAIN!!!! I will be posting more pics as I get my ass in gear..Happy Holidays and all that other shit that your supposed to say this time of year..Roadside Marty

NEVER in my lifetime would I have thought that I would want to get rid of 4" of ANYTHING except my gut but Purple Haze needed a little bit of adjustment so with my trusty hacksaw and Jeremy holding her somewhat steady the surgery was complete..I think it was the right move..don't you?? Roadside

This what happens when Teach has your camera while your out riding "Elvis"..what can I say about this brother that hasn't already been said, stand up dedicated brother, devoted family man and inspiration to all around him and absolutely obsessed with old motorcycles, you gotta love those qualities..another man that I'm fortunate enough to call brother..Roadside Marty
