Basket Case Release Party, Tomorrow!

Enough said. Friday, Felton, be there or be square. See you all there, then on the Delta 200, then at the Norcal Cycle Swap... Good times this weekend!

On The Road

Old Corner Bound

Last Friday we checked out the Old Corner Saloon. Grass was green, beer was cold, and the new owner was stoked for the party on the 20th of May. Camping area and bike parking are all ready for the party. 

Baby Clint in Europe. I think this is Clécy, France. Awesome little village near a river in Normandy where we met up with the rest of the group from Holland and Brittany. 

CIRCA 2009

Chrome Prep: Shifter

The transition from shifter to mounting plate needed some smoothing out. 

Add some weld...

And grind 99% of it back off! Voila 

Fender Cleanup

A couple too many holes in this fender. 

Ready for paint! I mean, a shit ton of bondo...

Threaded bung for the frame mount. 

Delta 200

The day before the Norcal cycle swap, Biltwell is doing a ride starting in Placerville, and heading through some of the foothills and then out into the Delta before circling back to Sacramento and Old E Metalworks. 

Getting Bikes Ready for the 10 Year

Hope to see everyone ride out for the party in Copperopolis May 20. Hopefully weather is perfect, beer is cold, and your bedroll is spider free! 

A Couple from the Road

Thanks for the photos Cindy! @fashionserialkiller
Somewhere in Mexico on the EDR 2011...?

Gus, keeping it real

Todd and Jeremy kicking it

Jeremy still kicking it...

Sissy bar for Josh

Bent up a quick sissy bar for Josh over the weekend. He rushed back down to Santa Cruz for mock up, and it looks pretty damn good!

Mocked up

'67 Shift Knob

My original idea didn't pan out, so I shifted gears (ha) and found some shit in one of the bolt bins. Bent up a lever and welded the knob on and called it good!

Traced out the backing plate

Heating up one end to match the curve of the shifter

Welded

Grinded 

And installed

It's not the size of the shop that counts, it's what comes out of it. 

Not a penis joke...

Bozos with giant shops are usually the first ones to go broke. Keep it simple stupid. 

Coming Up Soon!

The next NorCal Cycle Swap is fast approaching, 23 April. We'll be there again hawking some crappy parts, good looking shirts, and trying to convince people to come to our 10 Year Party!

Pre Party for the Cycle Swap is going to be at Old E Metalworks. Come check out some photos from the Painted Ladies Collection.

And of course, don't forget, coming up fast, 10 years of the Deathtraps MC! Old Corner Saloon, Copperopolis California. See you all there!

Keep Vince Flying part II

Zigzagging through the farmland

Quick stop to wrench on Gus's bike. I repeat: wrenching on Gus's bike...

Huge turnout with more than $20K raised for Vince and his medical bills.
