Green Death Panhead
SFPD motorcycle cops posting up hard on Van Ness Avenue circa 1914
Been busy this winter wrenching and helping good friends like Eric and Beth here get their bikes dialed in, but the nice folks at DiCE magazine just added me to the blog roll so thanks for the motivation to kickstart the tumblbot again!
The annual vintage motorcycle 49 Mile Ride is this Sunday, leaving promptly at 9:30 am from Bayview Boat club 489 Terry A Francois Blvd. Any and all brands are welcome—as long as they were built before 1975!
@thrashermag publisher Ed Riggins is selling off his bitchin’ 1995 Ducati Monster M900. There’s no beastlier machine in such pristine condition as this in Nor Cal for only $3500. Email him direct via ed at thrasher magazine dot com for more info.

Now that my project is up and running I’ve been paying it forward—getting the homie’s bikes back on the road too…(mainly so I have some other idiots to ride with;)
Spent last night wiring, unwiring, and rewiring this wild pan-shovel as a surprise for this bike’s current caretaker who hasn’t been able to touch it for over a year.
We got Eric G’s sporty chop back on the boulevard and running sharp. Sunny summer days in the Mission rule.
“Today was like one of those fly dreams, didn’t even see a berry flashin those high beams…
I got to say it was a good day”
Max’s born free 4 build—go read the story and see all the pics at his blog.
It’s fucking epic.

Moved some books and found an amazing photo of my father-in-law’s knucklehead leg breaker. Makes me want to paint my bike purple.
I’m clearing out the garage and getting rid of this sweet 1994 GT Dyno BMX bicycle, preferably to someone in the SF Bay Area. Hit me up via Tumblr’s ‘ask me a question’ function if interested. I’m pretty sure it’s a 1994 model.
I’d be happy to get $100 and see this bike go to someone who appreciates it, but if you wanna pay more—that’s cool too;)
sure wish I could make it down to the Born Free show this weekend…the preview pics of Phares’ refreshed Pan over at the BF site are mind-meltingly good.
I borrowed a mountain bike and rode it over the highest paved road in the Rockies.
Drive up to the visitor center from Estes Park, CO if you ever get a chance. This road is amazing.
starting to look like a proper panhead again! Hard to believe this is what the heads looked like before I dropped them off for an acid bath…
finally starting to put humpty dumpty back together again!
