Humble Beginnings

Any one who's seen my instagram thing is probably wondering : "why does this dude put his parts on the floor of his garage and take pictures of them so much?" well the answer is i have nothing better to do when those posts come up, and i like looking at the parts i just bought.

here is the very beginning stages of my next bike, 1950 heads, 1960 left case, not sure the the year of the right yet. front end will be the pre unit fork or the pea shooter and wl front brake set up shown. one day the stars will cosmically aline in a perfect order and i will get a call from my union hall to go work a shut down somewhere and i will be able to afford to buy the bottom end and frame for this bike from a certain older gentleman who seems to like me. "i hate harleys and everyone who rides them" he says, but i have a triumph so i think i am exempt from that rule.

i have a lot to learn, a lot more things to get and a lot of time before april 2015 which is when I'm planning on having this bike done by. we'll see how it goes. the light on the pea shooter is from a '29 hudson, tail lights will be red and green marker lights with glass bulbs. ill run those till i get pulled over or rear ended, whichever comes first. the kick stand under the pre unit wheel is a superior BSA kickstand, i think, i want to try and make it work as the holes are similar to the harley ones.
