FourPetalGoodness

real four petal rips. good upgrade over the stock polini "four" petal which is actually a two petal. plus it came with screws already tapped, which makes changing to different reeds a breeze

better reed cage in the works.  v-force maybe?

David and the goliaths

David, Happy 30th. wish you were here. you would've loved what big B done to your g3 dude. Shaw ported the shizzzz outta that a35.  i miss ya too much man

Roscoe's!

If ya haven't had Roscoe's chicken and waffles then you suck. hmmmmmm yum OM NOM NOM NOM

Long Beach County

all in the details

I know you've seen too many kits from the factory or from shipping or from whatever with casting defects, warped barrels, factory porting gone too far into the stud holes, misaligned iron bores, bent skirts, asymetrical transfer timing, other random terribles yada yada yada i guess quality control isnt what it used to be. some of the things i do to EVERY kit since my first kit is the ring gapping, chamfering, leveling flanges for airleaks, strong wiring and other secret piston mods. Cant stress these ones enough boys and girls. Little attentions to detail will either make or break your bike. Too important to overlook because if ya dont know do some research!  so kiddies prep your kits properly, and they will love you. ive been reading 2-stroke handbook recently cant ya tell?!

For all you cheap bastards  myself included. thanks Gordon Jennings!

Halloweeeen!

Woolly Bullies! Halloweeen Rally! Oi Oi Oi

alas I dont think im gonna make this one. maybe this one

ummmmmmmmmmmm yea

stuff

Knucklehead B sealing up e-50. his metra80 is a monstrosity. recently broke two bones in his right hand. no more riding for at least a month. bummer

Box o' carbs. some good some not. some undersized, some overpriced

 

Oko's suck i guess. B never got one working properly. his oko's didn't like to keep the float bowl full. kept on running dry. hmmm curious...

Myrons Mopedssss. Haven't seen shaun in a while. Really organized his shop since last. I gawked a bit, talked moped theory.  Nineteen Fifty Something Montgomery Ward Riverside A3 transplant. sweet

 

well ive figured that

#1 I need a real camera

#2 I still want that Cobra from Eric

#3 gotta figure a way to come up with some extra scratch for said cobra

#4 my moms still wants to ride my Sachs. I dont really wanna tell her that mopeds stink and are all greasy and oily. Also that mopeds are kinda dangerous. My momma tells me that she had a Motobecane back in Vietnam before the war. so cool. i guess its a nostalgic childhood thing

#5 Permatex Grey Ultra Rigiiiidddddd!

thats it. haven't really figured much else

American Film Institute. unpaid extras means rowdy, rowdy, obnoxiousness

Saturday and Sunday filming in LA. worked on friday night, slept two hours and I got to AFI with MattD on saturday 8:30 in the morn. It was kinda just waitin around some then some shots then some more waitin around. it was ok and I actually got a line! "Come on Dee!" was my line executed clumsily.  waiting around all day to do the same scene over and over takes quite a bit of energy and focus ive realized. we finished about 6pm that day. So beat.  I partied and crashed out on Woolly Bully Mike's denim couch. it's very familiar. On sunday Mike and I went for a nice and pretty afternoon ride around Silverlake a little bit.  We got some beers and free food to commence the days activities. met up with Mikes girl  Dadia,  the costume designer for the short. Went back to Mikes house to put together a bike for Jose so he could ride, but soon found out another broken clutch bell which in total numbers four, count em FOUR broken clutch bells. hmmmm interesting. Same exact problem, maybe a different solution guys??  well afterwards we met back at the house where they were filming the house party scene. got some more free taco truck food, fashionably late and already been drinkin. Did several takes of the party with me in a scene with Tiger Lauren and Oscar. hilarious. "QUIET ON SET!" passively directed toward us.  hahaha i have a whole new respect for production crews. seemed like pretty long hours for just a fifteen minute short. plus they had to put up with our rowdy rowdy obnoxiousness all weekend. im also pretty sure they're sick of inhaling stinky 2-stroke smoke

Saturday morning filming. shits real hectic. lets get down to business, what the hell is this?

 

 fellow Knuckleheads! Big B and Eric on set ready to do another take.
