Hot Sauce of the Week

El Yucateco Verde- more of the same habanero heat with a hard to describe taste that matches the otherworldly color. If you are looking for something spicy and out of the ordinary, seek it out.

Hot Sauce of the Week

El Yucateco Rojo- instant heat and flavor, this one means business. The habanero is not for the faint of heart but if you like it hot, get yourself a bottle of this one. Its a winner.

Out West

Somewhere in Utah. Taken nearly 4 years ago, this photo never gets old to me.
I'm need to get out there again.

This Old Sportster...

As I bought it in '04, a used '89 1200.
This was the first bike I ever made real changes to, which at the time was mostly unbolting parts and putting other parts in their place. Also the first time I ever did internally wired bars. The tank, fenders and side-cover were done in Line-X. It was cheap and by far the easiest "paint" job I've ever had. After I had it done a couple other bikes around Birmingham showed up with similar treatment, including a guy I didn't know at the time and am now buds with.  

I know, Hyperchargers suck but the blower look did it for me at the time. The last changes I made were switching to the Dragtron II, moving the coil to the side and lifting the tank. 

Shortly after I got to the point of being happy with it, the motor blew all to Hell. I got new cases and had it rebuilt from the ground up but someone in the process didn't know what they were doing and it just became one problem after another which eventually took up all my money, time and interest. 

I took a bath on it selling it to some guy in Tennessee for almost no money. 

It's good having a Sportster that runs and rides...
