FURLOFF 500

First, a little inspiration........

 

 

 



Focus.

Same idea as last time. When you get everything done on the list, drive it to somebody's house. They owe you a beer.
4th of July is the due date

We will find a car show or just bonfire somewhere, or something. Then, we will grill meat and admire our machines and celebrate our awesomeness. Judging will take place, and the winner will receive a trophy.

Here are the lists.

Meat and Hindy:

1. POR-15 the old gas tank (can't afford new tank right now)
2. Electrical (turn signals, tail lights, headlight etc)
3a. Fix the black engine and get it running (timing issue?)
3b. Tuning (tap/bore spark plug hole, balance carbs, etc)
4. New spark plugs and wires
5. Put on the new black handlebars with new grips and cool side mirrors
6. Fix the slack in the clutch wire
7. Chop current seat frame for new café seat.
8. Whatever else pops up during all this (I'm sure there will be plenty)
9. Insure bike/plates/test/license/drive to work

Mr. TP (for his bunghole), and the CRAPTOR,

1. Front bumper
2. rock rails
3. skid plate
4. front light bars
5. rear lights

8. CB radio

1) put the demon back together
2) working lights (headlight, taillight, brake)
3) registration
4) mufflers (done right this time)
5) fork seals
6) rear fender struts
7) cables
8) clutch

Mr. Shorthorn and the Hentai Bomber,

1. Clean up tank, get painted/sharpie
2. Polish all engine cases
3. new rear fender

5. convert rear turn singles into run/brake/turn signals
6. repaint headlight
7. fix clutch cable
8. fix carbs


Mr. Muffin the Cupcake, and the clod-hopper,

1) Swap engine in F-150 (go from 5.8L to 6.7L)
2) replace the window that I smashed when I was mad at it last Monday (drivers side)
3) swap out rear axle
4) replace entire brake system
5) replace steering system
6) install lift kit, and new steering stabilizer
7) replace steering box
8) convert to electronic fuel pump
9) convert to HEI distributor and 4 barrel carburetor (currently a two barrel)
Let the games begin.

The Hentai Bomber LIVES!!!

After many months of laying dormant, the Hentai Bomber rose yet again like the Evil Japanese monster Godzilla, to reign terror on SoMD. With drilled exhaust vomiting it's disgust at the world, the Japanese Sexmachine roared to life after a brief sensual massage by the Master of Carburation, Sir Chewie, and the prodigal Son, PG.

With the resurrection of a SoMD BBBuildoff bike, it has raised the question in my tiny brain........another buildoff?

I have a bike in pieces, so does the "Man with a Girl's name," and I am sure that Mr. Faggins and the Texas Shorthorn can find a half dozen things to do with their bikes before some sort of stupid deadline. Takers?? I dub it the Furlough 500.

A new builder is born.....

Scored two banana seat 70's era bikes this past weekend. Jared has already swapped rims and tires and scavenged parts from his old Schwinn. Couldn't be more proud. Austin, the blue bike is waiting for you.

And the beat goes on.......yeah

Scored the elusive T100C H-pipe for $20. Thanks eBay.

So, the official BBB is over. True champions soldier on and continuously improve on their greatness. Our new to-do list:

1) Finish off proper skirt blowing exhaust

2) Mount steering dampener

3) Rebuild front end

4) Remount taillight

5) Get lights working

Ooh yeah.

(if you didn't get the Macho Man reference, you are not a true American)

British Bike Show

In good company.......

the offerings were plenty that day...

proof that angry motorscooters, badass teenagers, and champion mustaches are the trifecta of awesomeness

Autsin, building this bike with you has been an epic journey. We have learned so much together.

I couldn't be more proud of you. Luv ya kiddo.

Leonardtown Car Show

Prettiest pair of bikes at the show. Too bad the judges voted for the OCC knockoff that leaked more oil than my 45 year old bike. Whatever, we had the hearts and minds of the public. I mean, Aaron single-handed had the Mullet vote locked down.

Anyway, I guess this marks the end of the BreakdownBrokedownBuildoff. I wonder what shenanigans we can come up with now..............

Terry, Casey, and Aaron.....all you guys rock. It was fun. We need to get together for a group BBQ soon.

Out with the old, in with the new......

So, it came to my attention today that 2 of the founding members of the Blog hate the name (one was me), so I changed it. And for the record, Aaron came up with the first name.

I think the name is appropriate, cause that is most definitely what we are.

Tits and beer, Terry is Queer.
