The latest update in the Pro-Tour 'S' site was: 8/23/2010 ----------------------------------------------------------
Suckin' up to da Fuzz - Aug. 25th We had a visit from the Wisconsin State Patrol today. Vehicle inspector Phil Horman swung by to do a compliance inspection on the FXRX-Wedge and, as expected, it passed with flying colors. That means I'll have a title for the bike within a couple of weeks, to hand over to whoever decides they need that awesome bike parked in their garage. This bike will be titled as a 2010 model. It comes with a warranty on the engine and tranny, as well as a one-year warranty from DOUGZ on the workmanship - thats as rock solid as any factory warranty. I wonder how long it'll take Phil to figure out that while he was inside the shop inspecting the scooter, Terry was out diggin' around in the cruiser and messed with the ECM so it won't go over 65 MPH. I figure it'll take a couple of weeks, so in the meantime we can have a free-for-all out on I-90! Thanks Phil and have a nice day ;D)))) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FXRX-Wedge is home for a short time - Aug. 17th
The S&S folks brought the FXRX-Wedge home from
In the showroom - Aug. 13th
Up here in this neck o' th woods ya'll don't see too many of them thar choppers - y'see this here's touring country and long bikes aren't usually the scooter of choice when it comes to touring. Not to mention the fact that with the temperature extremes, from upper 90's (like we've had for the last couple of weeks) to sub-zero temps in the winter months, our roads get hammered from all the expanding and contracting. Nonetheless there are a few hardcores that just gotta have one. The yellow XL based rigid is, of course, my slave Terry Miller's, the red Big Dog is Tim Rebarchek's, which was in for a malfunctioning headlight and scratch repairs in the paint, and the lime green Swift belongs to one helluva big dude named Kevin Knueppel - his biceps are as big as my calves so I really don't wanna piss THAT guy off! That machine came in for a starter, starter drive and ring gear replacement. Both bikes are done and both received our complimentary cleaning and detailing service from Mr. Fussypants - the earlier mentioned Terry Miller. As the West Coast Choppers clan says "Choppers for Life"!
We banged this one out quickly for Jared Noffke's CMC Softail, just in time for Sturgis. It may be a little early to be talking about the upcoming holidays, but what the heck - most stores have winter fashions on display already so why not push some Christmas Stocking Stuffer ideas from DOUGZ? The RAPPER embellishment is created specifically for S&S teardrop air filters and are an extra groovy way to pull the color of your scooter into the engine area without all the hassle of pulling the heads or cylinders. Just take a look at a few examples HERE and let the creative juices flow with what could be put on YOUR RAPPER. I hate to say it, but once you've installed one on your machinery, you realize just how 'plain' it looked without one. If you don't currently have an S&S teardrop air filter assembly on your scoot, Number ONE - you're giving up a whole lotta horsepower by not having this free-breathing component on your scoot and Number TWO - we can hook you up with one. How much easier can it get? You need to have Santa come over to install it for you? We might be able to arrange that as well! At only 39 Bucks for a RAPPER, its a great idea for an inexpensive Christmas gift, and it doesn't take a rOcKeT sUrGeOn to install. Give us a ring, email us, purchase it through PayPal right here on the site, whatever - just don't wait until December 23rd to decide, cuz as good as we are, if you wait that long - it AIN'T gonna be hangin' on the mantle the next day!
More Freehand pinstriping - July 24th
Scroll down a little and you'll see some of the pinstriping I did on Joan Niebuhr's 2011 Rav 4. This time around though it was Joan's husband, Rollie's turn on his 2011 Sienna. The latest design from Toyota sure is taking these new 'Mini' vans to an entirely new level. There ain't NUTHIN' about this one that says "Soccer Mom". I always try to pull colors from the interior of the vehicles I'm pinstriping into the design and with the brown, beige and black interior appointments Rollie was hoping I'd be able to use all three. Typically I steer away from three colors when pinstriping, but as we discussed where I'd add the embellishments Rollie convinced me we'd be safe using all three colors. I'm not sure if he has more faith in me, or I have more faith in him??? Anyway - we crossed our fingers, asked God for guidance, whipped out the dagger striper and started sloppin' it on. Click on the image to see a couple more photos of Rollie's new Party Wagon. The second row seats slide back allowing you to crank out a leg rest so you're actually sitting in a recliner position! Put Rollie in the driver's seat, build a Jack n' Coke (with very little Coke), lay back, toss a flick in the DVD player and head out on a road trip... Man, this is LIVIN'! |
