well holy hell, and actual VWVortex moderator, doing work! maybe this will motivate Nick to hurry the eff up already :)

BSA aluminum rod failure.

this, folks, is the carnage created by rod bolt failure. not a car engine, but an old british twin, that we found out had already been over bored .040. so not only a new upper cyl casing, but new pistons and rods as well. ouch....

some more bike pics.

a couple more pictures of the new bike. new seat is en-route via CL, and searching for some electronic parts so i can get the charging system working properly..

so just how much work?

so just how much work was it to do what i did to my new wheels, you ask? yea, i could have done it with vinyl, etc. but that would have meant relying on someone else, etc. as well, getting what i was trying to do, translated to exactly what i wanted would have been a long walk so to speak..

had to test fit them first, before i got to far ahead of myself.


once that was sorted, it was game on..

a tracing from the camo pattern on my car to go off of..


and the first pass, looked good to me, so onward i went :)

and the final product?

a quick shot from WekFest..
