For Justin...

...Dream Theater. I saw this tour in '92 at the Troubadour. There was maybe 200 people there. Still to this day one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Shovel Perfection...

...I did however find one thing wrong with it...the fact that it's not MINE!

Happy Memorial Day to the men & women that have served our great nation.

WHAMO Wheelie Bar...

...it's for exhibition riding too!

Marshall in 70's...

...when we were able to ride just about anywhere.

Pops, his gal Stacy, and me...

...taken a couple of weeks ago at the "Group Thearpy Pub" ride. Stacy's sister owns the bar. It's a cool little biker friendly joint in Placentia.

Stacy took this one of me on "Fat Elvis" from the back of Pops bike.

Suavecito Pomade

My barber Danny just turned me on to this stuff. It's half the price of Layrite, and works better.

First outside pic of the Hellbilly DeLuxe in a long time, almost ready to rock!

Sorry bout the crappy cell phone pic, but it was one of those moments. Standing back looking at it outside for a change... reminded me of why I dig Sportsters so much. It's one sexy bitch if I do say so myself, and I Can't fuckin' wait to get it back on the road.

Just what I needed, another new project!

I still haven't finished the one in the middle yet...

...but it's very close, and I'll go outta my mind with nothing to do. So, I picked this one up locally via Craigslist. It needs a new sprocket, clutch, and chain. I'll also need to add some kind of peg arrangement, but I already have a few ideas. Oh, and yes that's my new BBQ in my shop. It was raining (yes it actually does rain in So-Cal) and I don't have a cover for it yet.

The Chrome Fairy came by last night

to drop off my tag bracket, and headlight mount (thanks Slim). I can finally get the Hellbilly DeLuxe back together now.

Nice Iron...

...on a side note, this late 70's early 80's-ish style paint job will replace the now overdone flake and lace jobs seen everywhere. Remember, you heard it here first.

R.I.P. Ronnie.

Ronnie James Dio, whose soaring vocals, poetic lyrics and mythic tales of a never-ending struggle between good and evil broke new ground in heavy metal, died Sunday, according to a statement from his wife and manager. He was 67.

Dio revealed last summer that he was suffering from stomach cancer shortly after wrapping up a tour in Atlantic City, N.J., with the latest incarnation of Black Sabbath, under the name Heaven And Hell.

"Today my heart is broken," Wendy Dio wrote on the singer's site, adding he died at 7:45 a.m. "Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away.

"Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all," Wendy Dio continued. "We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us ... Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

The statement was confirmed by Los Angeles publicist Maureen O'Connor. Dio was being treated at a Houston hospital, according to his site.

Though Dio had recently undergone his seventh chemotherapy treatment, he was hopeful to perform again. Earlier this month, Heaven And Hell canceled its summer tour, but Dio did not view being sidelined as a permanent thing.

"Wendy, my doctors and I have worked so hard to make it happen for all of you, the ones we care so much about, that this setback could be devastating, but we will not let it be," he said in a statement. "With your continued love and support, we ... will carry on and thrive. There will be other tours, more music, more life and much more magic.

Dillon's Mini-Chop....

...let the mods begin. Justin tigged up a new set of bars while I took it upon myself to unbolt the tank and move it back a couple of inches. We both agreed that the rear frame section looked a little too "OCC" so he turned the angry grinder loose on it. The little chops lookin' much better already. Still more to come, stay tuned.
