I have always been a big gamer, whether it was getting to rent a NES on the weekend back in the early 90’s or playing board games with friends and family. I loved being able to dive into a different world and forget about what was going on around you. My virtual adventure hit itsContinue reading “Custom TV Gaming Table”

1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build – Part 2: Fenders and Frame
When I had left off the last blog, the rear fender had just been cut out and it was time to move onto other areas of the bike. Keeping towards the back end, the next piece I wanted to add was a new bar frame for the eventual seat as well as creating an integratedContinue reading “1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build – Part 2: Fenders and Frame”
1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build – Part 1: Teardown and Early Fabrication.
If you are anything like me, the thought of starting a first bike build can be daunting. Sure, there are a lot of bike videos on youtube that show you a quick run-down of the build, but they are generally in well setup shops with all the right tools. When I first embarked on myContinue reading “1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build – Part 1: Teardown and Early Fabrication.”
Climbing Out of the Winter Blues
Winter in Minnesota can be long, cold, and quite frankly, boring. It doesn’t get enough snow for fun activities to make the cold worth it. It also doesn’t have mild days in order to get out unless ice fishing is your thing (it is NOT mine). So, what is one to do to stave offContinue reading “Climbing Out of the Winter Blues”
A fix for a friend
It’s every rider’s worst nightmare. You go outside to see your bike laying on the pavement. Someone has just knocked over your bike and there is damage.
Jackpot – 1996 Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber Build: Finished!
We have finally arrived at the part of a bike build I love the most: PAINT! I first got into customizing vehicles by spray painting different designs on my snowmobile hoods. I never had money to buy nice things, so the best I could do was make my turds look a little better. Each projectContinue reading “Jackpot – 1996 Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber Build: Finished!”
Native American PRS SE
Taking a working guitar that is in decent shape and carving it up for the sake of art is always a bit of a risk. You will have people that get angry that you messed with a flamed maple veneer or say that carving it will ruin the tone. At least that has been myContinue reading “Native American PRS SE”
Jackpot – 1996 Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber Build: Part 1
The Honda Shadow is often called the poor man’s sportster for it’s low cost, low power, and sub-par fit-and-finish. That doesn’t mean that it can’t become a badass cruiser! I have never been one to buy into brand cults. If a bike looks cool, runs good, and gets me where I want to go, thenContinue reading “Jackpot – 1996 Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber Build: Part 1”
Maximus – 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim Build – Part 1
The thing about most creative projects is that you always think you know where you are headed, but you never really arrive at your intended destination. Usually it’s for the better, but not always. Never is this more evident than when you embark on creating a custom motorcycle on a limited budget with delusions ofContinue reading “Maximus – 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim Build – Part 1”
1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca Build
What do you do when you go through a divorce, quit your job, and move back to a state you said you wouldn’t? Turn your basement into a make-shift garage and customize a motorcycle of course! I will start this with a bit of backstory. I grew up in the back country of Colorado onContinue reading “1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca Build”
