Twosome!

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Friday afternoon my BFF Sandy and I were downstairs and who comes around the corner outside but Jay and Jeff (who is Sandy's BF, I know your lovin the initials) on this Twosome bicycle.
It was the funniest thing! Of course we had to try it out. I got on with Jay and let me tell you I was a little nervous because you are behind someone, no brakes and really no control of steering... I guess it is very similar to riding on the back of a motorcycle except you have to peddle! Maybe that's why I always wanted to ride my own bike... but it was fine with Jay leading.
My dad bought this at an auction a while ago and it has been up on the mezzanine ever since. It was definitely worth the buy just for the laughs. Too bad my dad wouldn't get on it!

Bicycle in parts room?

I was cracking up last night as Kory and Jay goofed off. Check out the video. Sorry it's not right side up, I can't figure out how to turn it... any suggestions?

Frank's Flathead

Remember that flathead I showed you pictures of a couple weeks ago?! Check it out now! Dirti is doing an awesome job with it.

Calendar?

Ok I wasn't going to share this but it is too funny not too!

HD UL

Dirti has been working on a Flathead that we have had in the shop. It is a really cool old bike. He just gave it quite a few kicks before a puff of black smoke came out and it roared to life.

Puch is almost complete!

Check out the picture below of the progress Dirti has made on the Puch. He is just waiting for the seat to get recovered and some parts for the rear wheel.

Allstate Puch

Dirti has been working on the Sears Allstate Scooter. This scooter was branded by Sears but it was made by Puch in the 50's. This one is a 1958. The model is Allstate and Sears sold the scooter from the 50's to the late 60's.

It is coming out really cool. Another unusual thing to come out of Perewitz Cycle Fab.

Dirti's Hair - it gets longer and longer!

Take a look at Dirti's hair! It needs a trim so bad and maybe some conditioner. I wonder if it gets in the way while building bikes???
I know my hair gets in my way often so I put it in a pony tail but Dirti very rarely pulls his back... sometimes he wears his Aunt Jemima bandanna.

This is an old picture and we thought it was long then!!!

What to write about...

Over the past 2 weeks I have been busy organizing and getting stuff done that I have been putting off for a while, that I lost track of the blog... I was thinking about it today and I was sad that I haven't made time for this blog. This is the stuff that I like to do, write about things around here, capture it on film and give our followers an inside look. So my apologies to all our faithful readers! Don't worry though I am back!!!

I went downstairs a few days ago and though "ah there really isn't much to write about..."

FALSE.

Last night Dirti and Kory helped me get my panhead running and it made me think. We actually have a lot going on downstairs that you are unaware of! Like I am embarrassed to say that I haven't ridden my Panhead in over 2 years!! Kory and I were going back to the last time I rode it and I can't believe how fast time goes by. It was nice to hear it run. It only took me 4 kicks to get it going despite Dirti's bet of SEVERAL kicks. She fired up but didn't stay running until a few more kicks and her kicking me good, she finally ran strong! So my Firebolt is going on the back burner and I am determined to put some miles on the 63! You may even get a post about Dirti taking her to the Tumbleweeds ride on Sunday!

Check out some facts below. I will hit each one of these in more detail in the next few days!

Dirti's Project

Check out Dirit's new project. He is building a flathead. The motor is a 1965 flathead from a sevi car with a 48 frame, that I believe was traded for some work on Dave P.'s truck. It's not much to look at now but it will be. Especially since he is hoping to become a Tumbleweed soon.

Jay's Hair!

Not much...

We have been busy here with work but not much blog content... till yesterday! Check out the video's of the guys. Yes this was after 6!

Dirti's Hair

Dirti needs to do something with his hair. Check out the poll on the side of the blog and vote!!

What do you think?

Indian Day 3

Dirti took the Indian for it's first ride today. He said that he loved it!!

Perewitz Indian

This is the status of the Indian this morning. Jay and Big Ron have been hustling to get it done. I have to tell you it came out wicked cool!! It is something once again entirely different than your average Perewitz custom.
More to come tomorrow when it is one the ground and ready to ride!

New Video Camera!

I finally got a new video camera. It is just a tiny hand held thing that just plugs into your USB port. Anyway here is what is happening at the shop today! The guys are getting ready to head out to Sturgis later this week. This "bike" more like frame and motor, will be complete by Thursday!

A Day's Work.

We have been really busy, which is a really good thing! Below is a couple of projects that Big Ron, Dirti and Kory are working on. Most of our work is in the form of service but as you can see we have a few cool projects going on!
We also have our 1st Bike Night of the season this Wednesday and Laconia later in the week. Check out Kory at Broken Spoke Wed. June 17-20 and Dave at the Allstate booth at the Lobster Pot June 13-21.

Big Ron is building an Indian Bobber


Dirti is putting the finishing touches on Mike Obrien's custom. I will post photo's later.

Kory is giving Chris's R1 a facelift.

Air Horns

Finally I get some good shop content!! We have been so busy there is no time for fun, which is a good thing. Last night we were all working late and Dirti told me to come down to fab shop with my camera! So I knew it would be good so I found a hidden position and started filming! Sorry that it is kind of dark and grainy... I really need a new camera!!



Poor Jeff!!
