pathetic

shit looks pathetic just chillin in my room.
i need to find time to start putting this guy together.

crunch time

so i got a lot done today on my bike. bondo, sanding, primer, (auto)paint, gloss. i'm truly lucky to have a friend with some pro-tools/setup to help me out with this. i paid him in short-stack Buds, a sixer of pbr, and my truly genuine comedy. tight!

bondo

sanding

cleaned up the headlight bucket

cleaned up the flywheel cover(i'm going to be painting the Puch symbol by hand)

primered frame

close up

primered headlight bucket and flywheel cover

primered tripletree plate, handlebar brackets, and swingarm thingy

primered forks

primered swingarm

final primer coat on frame

black + gloss stuff

black + gloss frame


everything is painted and glossed and ready to go. hopefully i can find time this week to get that e50 finished. i still need to find some red bmx pedals and get the graphics done on the tank. i think i might still need a stator. probably some other shit i'm forgetting too. i rode an old ass vintage beach cruiser with massive ape hangers to the store while the paint was drying tonight. it was pretty sick, to say the least.

pump your brakes

painted some brake levers last night.
cut my bars down.
bondoed the frame.
cleaned the e50 cases.
crank is in the freezer chillin' out.
just ordered my intake from treats.
buying the rest of my bearings and pedals today.
primering the frame, forks, and swingarm in a few hours.
hopefully painting them too.
thanks terry dean for the grips.
STOKED!

optimus primer

got a lot of shit done on the tank today.
lots of sanding and bondoing and primering.
hopefully start painting it on saturday?








trying to get this thing done in time for the Chicago rally.
STOKED!

flex your head

exhaust arm finally taken off extra murray frame and welded onto top tank frame. which means, i can finally finish cleaning up the other welds and start the painting process. hopefully going to cut down the bars so they arent so obnoxious this week. hopefully put together my other e50 next week. so ready for a gila.


in other news, my new job (http://www.louisvillephotobooth.com) is kind of amazing. and fun. i just set up these fancy ass awesome photobooths at different events, watch people take photos for a few hours, tear it down and go home. pretty awesome, eh?


ps. i was prom queen at bomb prom. no bigs.

motivation!

treats came in the mail today. well... now i just have to put it all together. 2nd E50 rebuild, here i come!

+++++
TBS rally is tomorrow. SOOOO STOKED!!

i suck.

So I work open to close what seems to be every single day. I have had no time to get anything done on my moped. Plus, I am not motivated. At all. And I'm broke. So, there's that.

In other news, I had my first real moped wreck. In cinci visiting TBS. mashed up my shoulder, scraped up my ankle, then got drunk and ripped one of my pockets out of my jeans. real cool. (the maxi doesnt even have a scratch on it somehow.)


New tattoo. Love it.

bomb prom is so soon!
so stoked!
