What cans are you planning to put on your monster? — Asked by amazerbeam

No specific brand of cans, custom undertail exhaust with beautiful GP welds to be done by Heath Knapp of Heathenwerks.

Only the best for the Monster Project. ;)

Well, I made a lot of headway today on the Monster Project. Cleaned the engine (see above) for a good three hours. Toothbrush, pick, gasoline… more pictures on that process later. I also took my rear shock spring to get powder coated at Bridge City Cycles.

I should have most of the bike reassembled very soon thanks to Sage at SDS Performance for letting me use his shop space, crew, and time.

4k Giveaway Helmet Paint by Jeff Wolf

The other day I posted a preview photo of Heidi Cormier’s custom helmet from the 4k Facebook Giveaway, promising better ones would come later. Welp, here they are.

Heidi specified black and gold as her two colors, and I relayed that to the talented Jeff Wolf when I gave him the medium Icon Airmada helmet.

How to Fit a Motorcycle in a Car

I needed to transport my Monster from my house to SDS Performance in Tigard. The Monster Project has gone on long enough… it’s time to rebuild! Not having it in a shop proved very annoying, constantly taking longer than necessary because of missing tools and such. So… I put my motorcycle in my car. Not just a car, but a coupe! Well, strategically place all the pieces, boxes, wheels, and bits in the right spots. Observe.

The engine was so awkward in the front seat that it crept into my seat too. Read on to see the process.

Alan Kempster: More Than Whole

When it comes to stories like this… sometimes it feels like the proper words are hard to find. In 1990 Alan Kempster was in a nasty motorcycle accident- hit by a drunk driver that caused his right arm and leg to be amputated. That didn’t keep him from his passion and love for motorcycles. From maintaining his race bike to taking first place… he does it all plus some.

I’d just like to say to anyone with a disability: If you have a dream and a passion you have to follow it. You’re the one that has to make it happen, no one else will make it happen. - Alan Kempster
