judgmental me

so i try to not be so judgmental, but this guy bugged me on my commute to work this morning, maybe it was because i was driving to work on a saturday morning and maybe it was because he had a bike that he could drive on the freeway and i don't...part of it was definitely his tuck and over-exaggerated-look-how-much-i'm-gunning-it-throttle arm, going 85 for 2 minutes in the fast lane then 65 in the far right lane for 5 minutes; repeat...i'm all for having a good time on your bike, getting extreme, yada yada....but i feel (self-righteously) that i have the ability to tell who is just young at heart having a good time and who is a male nurse out to prove something... i don't know what his bike was, but it looks like a sportbike ninja thing with forward controls...not surprisingly he exited at the lindon harley davidson exit, but not before he down shifted twice, and used that over-exaggerated throttle arm to sportbike down the exit ramp...with love, judgmental me

beginning of my brat

so here is the start to my bratstyle 650...bought it off ebay from a guy in clearfield area last year, sat in the shed untill just a few days ago...so far i'm pulling the wiring (miles of wire), cutting stuff off, changes the wheels to an 18in rear and still a 19 in front but they are from an old tx yamaha or something and have those different walls (can't remember what they're called now) and i put the honda rebel shocks on...i'm planning on this build taking THREE YEARS, so i won't be too bummed when it actually takes me 2.5years...there is a DIY bratstyle seat kit that i plan on buying, tacking into place and having pangea speed finishwelding for me...that is if he doesn't mind working around my horrible welding (lack of) skills...if you didn't already know, andy carter of pangea speed is the man!

redneck racer

so here i am all excited to go get my redneck racer inspected and what not, and finally be on my way to having a legal bike, complete with license plate and all...turns out places were closed for mothers day...so i went on a fun solo ride around south jordan anyways...its been raining everyday since and i've also picked up another job at the specialty hospital in provo, so who knows when i'll end up with time go get legalized...maybe the next weekend or two
