Ashley’s new Gus-built Knucklehead at Gus’ Shop for Motorcycho Magazine. More to come.

My buddy and shop mate Neale got his Triumph going the other night after the east van show n shine. One of my favorite bikes in the city for sure!

Sell one Beemer, pick up another…. My newest acquisition - 1958 BMW R26

Dean came over to the new shop to help me with my Triumph project last night. The crank was super tight after I buttoned everything up, and I thought I might have screwed something up with the bearings on the bottom end. All it took was torquing down the nut on the crank pinion gear, the crank moved over a hair, and she was rotating smooth as anything. Stoked we solved the problem, now I can keep going putting the engine back together….

A hell of a long weekend of swap meets. Neale and I went down to the Mt. Vernon swap meet Friday night, got up at 5:30 am Saturday, then went over and set up our table. Sold a few things, and I scored a bunch of rad stuff for my Triumph project and some other odds and ends. Then back to Tsawwassen to set up, back out to get the table ready at 6:30 am. I only got to check out the parking lot for about 10 minutes but there were some sweet bikes in the lot.  It was great to see everyone out, thanks for stopping by the Rising Sun table! Now off to work on a Virago 500, the fun never ends….
