Kim made a template to put rug in the trunk of her Servi car. Good job Kimbo!

Somebody over the years, painted this on the back of the Servi Car. The Mumster Mobile! Kim spent 4 hours getting it off. Looks a lot better now.

Shop needs some spring cleaning!

1982 Sturgis is coming along nicely. I put on the staggered dual exhaust I managed to find from Al Miles. NOS heat shields and the awesome seat I found in Ontario looks great! Just finishing up with the wiring. Someone rewired it and I found an NOS wiring harness, so I am putting the wiring back to stock. We found so many parts, that people said we would never find, so we are really happy and can't wait to get it out. Cheers

Good video of a Hot August Night run with lots of flames!! Check it out!

I was out picking up parts to get my bandsaw fixed, to finish a bike stand and swung by Al Miles place to look at a few parts. We'll what do you know.....jack pot, for the Sturgis. Got a nearly new 1982 2 into 1 exhaust system. A staggered dual complete exhaust system. Both pipe sets came with NOS heat shields. A set of rare Sturgis footpeg end caps. And a stock carb and Sturgis Ham can air cleaner. Also got the correct signal lights.
Thank you Mr Al Miles. The parts will go to good use. Get some of these survivor bike, back to stock so younger people can appreciate the older bikes the way they were. Cheers

Found the proper 82 Sturgis sissy bar and pad. Found an 81 Sturgis seat. They had buttons, but the 82 did not have buttons. So I used the seat pan, and foam. Found an Nos 82 seat cover. Things are progressing along. 😊

Got home late last night. Had a few parts show up for the Sturgis. The proper shocks lowering the bike back down to stock hight. Looks a lot better.

Started on the 82 Sturgis getting the few parts it needs to be back to stock. Handle bars are changed. Original sissy bar and pad, seat, shocks are on the way. Hoping a friend of ours can find the original exhaust system for us. Carb and air cleaner need to be replaced back to the stock ones. It's coming along, wish I was home more to get some of the projects done. But power line, gives you very little time off!

Kim added this little beauty to the family. 1973 AMF Harley Davidson, last year of the Servi Car. She wants to ride it and use it at the track. Bless her heart. ❤️ 😍

Probably going to sell our 61 Apache. Just don't have the time to work on it with my job. Maybe if we got the wiring finished and the doors back on I might see things differently. Didn't have time to even look at it over Christmas break. Stay warm friends.

Shop is clean. Just not big enough. Trying to get a few more projects done to possibly sell. Bikes don't take much room and the old stuff I buy is alot cheaper than the new Hardley Davidson bikes, and these ones hold their value. LOL

Have a very Merry safe Christmas to all our freinds & family. Wishing you all a great and prosperous 2024, and we hope to be out racing more next year. Cheers.

RIP Mr Don Schumacher. Thank you for all you have done for the sport of dragracing! Praying for his family and friends. God Speed

Today, we mourn the loss of a friend and drag racing icon - Don Schumacher. He was 79. - FULL STORY - https://competitionplus.com/drag-racing/news/drag-racing-icon-don-schumacher-passes

Just ran accross this. I remember this well, how hard Beauchemin Bros. worked to race. I did the same thing with my first drag bike. Took the motor out of street bike and put it in my drag race chassis almost every weekend until I was able to afford another motor. Wouldn't change a thing. We did what we had too.

I just hate interviews. But I was getting better everytime. This was one of the not so good but the story of the kids.....happened in Mission in 2008 when I was riding for All Steel Builders.

God bless our veterans! Thank you for your service. ❤️
