An-Bu XS650 Skull-Tiger

We're going to have a Cycle Goons beer fest at the shop and kinda rip this thing off since we came up on an extra XS650...........stay tuned for some motorcycle thuggery.......

Coming from building import cars, I have always loved the Engrish short stories that the Japanese put on anything they build......essentially building their Mission Statement into the product itself. I'm not sure how the Cycle Goon's Mission Statement would read. "To build leaking motorcycles and get traffic tickets for nonsense, look at rusty swingarms hanging from the rafters and decorate the floor with metal shavings" would round it out.

Check out http://www.an-bu.jp/ for a bunch of stuff we cant afford shipping on........

Something to do, December 17th, Spitfire Saloon @ 10PM, mark your calendars.

I'm certain we can all pile in Matt's Frozen Tundra Mobile since there will be 8 inches of snow by then. Maybe its time to build snow bikes with spiked tires.

Cleveland Mods vs. Rockers....

....was surprisingly decent. Way too much Jap stuff though. Hardly any Brit iron. I think my A65 would probably have won best Brit - err, make that "only brit" if I would have stayed long enough. I didn't enter anything but I guess you didn't have to... Wait no...there was a serious Velocette Venom present that I would have demanded got the ribbon.
