Top Shelf Customs Born Free 5 No-Show...

 We had three new bikes that needed to be finished for customers for the show. And, we had a shop bike that we thought we could get there as well. Well, things didn't go as planned. Even though we started the shop project well before the customers bikes, it kept getting put on the back-burner. And, if we didn't take care of them, there wouldn't  be a shop bike. So, we did what we had to do and all of the customer builds made it as promised. As for the shop project, well it got really close but we just ran out of time. No big deal, it was a great show either way. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth, we really appreciate the support. It's finished and on the road now. Check it out...      

Another Non Chopper Post... 2013 Triumph Tiger 800xc

This is the bike that I replaced my Suzuki DL1000 with. It's the 2013 Triumph Tiger 800xc. It's pretty much the same style as the Strom but a bit more modern in every way. It doesn't make as much power (95hp) as the Suzuki but, it weighs about eighty pounds less so it still feels strong. It also feels more like a dirt bike than the Strom did, too. It's got a 21" front wheel, motocross style handlebars and nine inched of suspension travel, front and rear. I'm sure you could ride it just about anywhere, if it had a set of true knobby tires. Anyway, if you ride dirt bikes, you can tell by looking at this thing why I haven't been updating this blog. It's a f#&@in situation.      

Born Free 5...

Best event of the year will be bigger and badder than ever. You need to get out there and show these guys some love. They've been sticking their necks out to make this happen and they make it happen in a big way. 

We'll be there again this year, for sure. If you're out there, come by our booth and say hello!   

Greg's Shovel...

This thing is just about ready to roll, as well. Traditional style mixed with a bunch of modern functional parts that make it a better bike to ride. We'll get the tags and get it on the road  soon too.  

The Browne File...

Mr. Browne is ready to hit the streets. Got the plate and tags this weekend. We'll put some time on it before we turn it over to him. Seem to run well so far but, you never really know til you take it out into traffic. Should be a lot of fun. Eric Sedei, Harley Davidson, Paughco, Performance Machine, Biltwell, Roland Sands Designs, ColorZone, Pacman and Specialized Coatings Thank you...  

Greg's Shovelhead Peoject...

Eric and I have been working on getting Greg's shovelhead project on the road. It finely starting to look like a motorcycle. Stick around, it's happening now...
