Justin Barcia on his Gieco Powersports Honda
Rockn' the period correct Fox Racing gear.
Keep an eye on this kid, he can ride and he wants to win.
Chopperdaves Iconic Panhead
This is just one of the great configuration of this motorcycle. I first saw it on the cover of
Iron Works magazine back in 2002, I think. At that time, it had a candy red Sportster tank, tall apes and a chrome rear fender with dirt track tires, it was real. It was also "the bike" that made me want to own a Harley Davidson. As it sits now, it's one of the very few custom bikes I would like to own.
AMA Supercross, the greatest show on earth!
The kids are going nuts on the 450s without James Stewart and Chad Reed
in the field. Dungy and Villopoto smell blood in the water. Who do you think will be the 2010 Supercross champion?

Danny "Magoo" Chandler
This guy was completely fearless. He was one of the most daring racers in
the history of motocross. He had a win-or-die trying attitude for sure.

My other chopper.
After riding a CRF250f and CRF450f for past few years I never thought I would go back to a smoker, especially not a one-two-five. But, there's something about riding one of these things. It's not as powerful as a 250f but the instant throttle response and super light weight make it really fun. At 189lbs and 33hp with a six speed gear box, it's a busy ride for sure but you're grining he whole time. I'm pretty sure doing this to the bike was a lot more fun than undoing it will be.
The Dan-a-lac is coming together.
Got the frame back from Specialized Coating and the chrome and polishing from
American Brightworks last week. We fired it today with a fuel in a funle. If we ever get the paint back, he'll have a rider.
Very cool left side exhaust
My buddy, Dale Takushi called us a few weeks ago and asked if we could do a wire and fire on this shovle he had been working on, so I told him, bring it in. Well, he shows up and has this all stainless ultra cool exhaust system that he made on it. Check out the three bolt flanges at the head. Not bad for a guy who is building his first bike, or anyone else for that matter. Nice work, Dale.
These guys know how to party.
The last gig these guys threw was the best show I've been to in quite a while, and trust me, I've been to a lot. This year, they're giving away Panhead, yeah, a Panhead. Ya gota go to this one.

Al Raposo and his 120" Brown Bomber
Who puts a Thunder Header on a chopper?
Trust me, he knows what he's doing.

125cc two strokes
If you grew up in the South Bay, the first person you think of
when you see an early 2 stroke 125 is Don Emler.
Wife's new ride
One owner 62 Buick, that spent most of it's life in a Orange County garage. I think it was a good find.
