ICON 4X4

Jon Ward at ICON 4X4 is probably most known for building really cool Toyota Land Cruisers and then recently a pretty sweet Ford Bronco. This is his latest creation... A 4x4 1952 Chevy Deluxe Coupe.

 

SWINGARM SHOVELS

I REALLY like the look of swingarm shovels. My only complaint is I love sissy bars, and these just don't look right with 'em. Here are some of my faves.

Love Cycles ^

Brat Style

Noise

Garage Company Customs

Not sure who did this one, but really stoked on it!

 

MEN OF THE HOUR

I'm sure you guys saw this post coming. Romeo Crennel - the Chiefs new head coach, so far the only coach this year to beat The Packers, and he did it with a 3rd string QB - Kyle Orton, which by the way had zero turnovers during the game. Let's not forget Chiefs defense who KILLED IT this week, almost completely shutting down Rogers. Go Chiefs!

 

THE PANTHER

What a fun bike! I miss that little guy. Some day I'll build a better one. I know, I know... you're probably thinking 'it doesn't get better than that', but trust me, I knew its flaws. Just wait, one of these days, there will be a better Panther. I'll name it something like Gmork. You know, that giant black wolf in the Never Ending Story? Yeah, and it'll eat up the Panther!

 

OUTSIDE YOKOHAMA

JANTA posted some really cool photos from outside Mooneyes. He actually has a really great collection to check out on FLICKR.

 

YOKOHAMA MOONEYES 20TH ANNUAL

A few of my faves from the Mooneyes Show. You can see more at SPARETIME.

 

DIARY

I really got a kick out of this. So funny.

 

DOMINATOR

WRENCHMONKEES started chopping a Honda NX. Looking forward to seeing progress on this one. I thought they did an awesome job on the XT.

 

DICE PARTY AT THE GARAGE

A group of us are meeting up at Jay's Shop on 6060 S. 300 W. #13 to ride out to the Garage for the Dice Party. Anyone is welcome - you can drive if you don't have a bike. I'm going to head over around 7. We leave from the shop at 7:30 sharp to the party. If you're coming from the South check out TWFMCO blog for more info. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

 

ROB ROUSER'S DAY OFF

Rob's new creation. Super clean! Love it! Pics poached from BILTWELL video over at BOLTS.

 

CHIEFS 23 - CHARGERS 20

Awesome game last night! Baldwin and Hali were looking good last night. If you're around 1700 S. and 1100 E., SLC you can see tracks from my 270 degree victory burnout.

 

RIP MARCO SIMONCELLI

Funeral is today. He crashed on Sunday in Malaysia. He slipped off his bike a bit, went down, but looked almost like he was caught up on his bike when he shot back across the track. Edwards and Rossi collided with him pretty hard. There's a pretty good article about him in last months Bike UK mag. It talks about his 'old school' crazy riding style and how he learned a lot from Rossi. Worth picking up if you can find it.

 

DICE PARTY!

About time these blokes throw a party in the good ol' 801.

 

'91 SUZUKI DR650

Picked up this beauty the other day for pennies on the dollar. 1 Owner, 20k miles, kickstart, bone stock. Engine is dialed! It's gonna get a full makeover and be my daily driver for a while. Keep an eye out, the Dirty Sanchez is going up for sale soon.

 

HONDA NX650

There are few builders who can envision stuff like this. Props to KIDDO MOTORS.

TOOELE RIDE

Took a ride out to see Ryan near Tooele. It was pretty fun... then the wasteoid lost compression in one of the cylinders. It didn't make it back. Bummed.

 

SMITH AND MOREHOUSE

Went on a spur of the moment ride up to Smith and Morehouse reservoir and through the Uinta's on Sunday. Great time! We mostly rode where it wasn't raining and just so happened to stay dry. If my bike was a little more capable of off-roading I think we could've had an even better time. I'll admit it, I was a tad jealous of my roomate's GS up there.
