I dig: skateboarding and surfing (I'm way lousy at both, but I still have too much fun to stop) / old motorcycles, especially British ones / 60's and 70s's surf culture / music and records / going to flea markets / watching the Brady Bunch / and drinking coffee.

Flea market scores!
Hit a local flea market that do once a year in late summer about five minutes from my house. Some guy had eight boxes of records, tons of good shit, two bucks a piece! Nabbed these, all sleeves and vinyl basically near mint. I would have gotten some more but some dick who was selling records at a booth three aisles over was cherry picking a bunch of stuff. I know he was taking them and marking the prices of up and flipping them right then and there. Oh well, I was still happy with what I found! The Hendrix Axis Bold as Love LP sounds really nice and was a nice find.

New to me bike hauler...
My grandfather passed away last year and left behind a lot of stuff. I was lucky enough to get his old '87 GMC Sierra. 2wd with a 302 in it. 86k miles, pretty clean. It'll be a fun truck to mess around with and haul motorcycles around when needed, plus it was my grandfathers.

Some good record scores this past week
My wife's aunt is moving out of her house and she was getting rid of some records she found. I took them without knowing what I'd find. After weeding through dozens of herb alpert, johnny mathis, and Englebert Humperdink records I found some good shit!

new T25 plan
I had some dental issues and wound up having to spend a ton of money getting it fixed, so I've decided to simplify the T25 project. I was beginning to feel like I was trying to re-invent the wheel with my initial plan, so I'm going to use the original tank and not get too carried away making it something it's not.
So I shortened the rear fender and propped some stuff up to hold the rear wheel up in order to get some inspiration. I really dig the way it looks.

I was thinking of lowering the bike so it will look like this mock up
pic. I'd have to shorten the forks or get a smaller diameter wheel.
Moving the rear shock mounts would lower the rear I suppose.
