Blades for Sale

Spyderco Civilian. This is the old style aluminum version, NOT the G10. Note wear on the pocket clip, have a new style clip on the way that I will include. This model is no longer available, also have the original case and paperwork, has been in the safe and not carried for years.

Spyderco Remote Release II. Another discontinued model, in great shape. There is a small area with a ding on the blade, nothing major. Has been in the safe as well, no box or paperwork with this one.

Lusting after a new blade so these have to go. If you are interested in one or both, contact me through the free sticker link and we can discuss pricing. I will ship anywhere in the US and I take Paypal.

What I See Imagery

Scored something new for the girls' playroom wall. They have been playing with my motorcycle models a lot lately so it seemed like a good idea. They dig it and now the room has a touch of class.

For Sale-'08 Harley-Davidson 1200 Nightster

 

So I am pushing back the start of the trip journal by one post to list my bike up for sale. 

'08 Harley-Davidson 1200 Nightster (Sportster).
Right under 20k on the clock. This has been a supremely reliable bike that has never let me down on the road, including a 9 day trek earlier this month.
3k on new rear tire, needs rear brake pads ($10 on ebay) and a 20k service. There is a dent in the top right of the gas tank. The bike has been, and is still, under warranty with HD.  

Lots of aftermarket goodies. Huge apes with internally wired electrics, fork brace with hand tooled leather top (still have fender), tank lift and wire tuck, relocated coil, quick detach sissy-bar, single tail-light conversion, stickers, etc. The fork bag and fuel sling ARE NOT included. More pics available upon request, just ask. Decided I want a different bike so this has to go. 

$6500.00

There is wiggle room in the price. Come with a serious offer and you'll do a little better.

JBMFT-shirts

     So...I'm getting some t-shirts made. They will be the same design as the sticker, white letters on a black shirt. $10 including shipping to US only. I'm doing them on a pre-order basis through PayPal. If you want one, click the "Add to Cart" button below. I'm giving two weeks from today for folks to get their orders in and then the list goes to the printer. Once they are done, I'll be shipping them so I'd say you'll have your shirt by early July.

Speaking of, all shirt orders include both the JBMFT and Chopper Checklist stickers.

Swap and Drag

Had another great time at this event, as usual. I didn't take a ton of pictures this time around and spent most of the day catching up with people. It's pretty great to see so many folks you know all in one place and having a good time.

Kustom Jeff and I left out at 7am Saturday morning in the freezing cold. The first hour and a half was brutal but after the first gas stop and a little coffee, it got warmer quick and the rest of the ride was awesome. 

The drags were fun as usual with a crazy mix of bikes, muscle cars and odd stuff like mopeds and lawnmowers going down the strip. Amazing what some people want to run and race...like a Ford Explorer vs a Chevy Tahoe...not one of the more interesting races. 

Got to see a AJ from Mississippi, make a couple new MS friends and thanks to Jeff's genius, actually got to set up the hammock near the track. Ross made some killer chili that we all heaped onto closeout hot dogs and we spent the rest of the evening huddled around the fire drinking beer and moonshine and talking shit. Met the folks from Hate City and yes, all of the stories you've heard are true.

The next day we took our time getting up and out. The fire was re-lit and we huddled again as the sun rose. We parted ways with the MS crew and got everything loaded and hit the road. We stopped for breakfast and Jeff and I boogied back to Birmingham. If there is some reason you haven't made it to this one yet, you need to. It's a great time with good people and plenty to see and good parts up for grabs. Do not miss the next one...

Stole the last two photos from Ian, thanks dood.

Great minds...

From August on JBMFT.
