Blue Firus

 I may not build motorcycles, but I like to assemble things that look like them. I had a short track snowmobile we called Greasy, a 1990 sportster I called Greasy Lucille, I think I’ll call this one Greasy B, at least this afternoons mock up of it. RIP Brent, hope you don’t mind me fuckin with your shit.

On April 17, and 18th things officially got out of hand. 10 minutes from my house there was a for sale sign and a phone number. I called and he told me to come out and have a look. I had a look.  I have to believe this is guided, or I’m insane. It’s a fine line.

 Extreme wind on the way to Edmonton, and kind of cold, but the FXRT fairing and lowers were wind tunnel tested in the early 80’s so you know it’s state of the art Harley Davidson tech.  This bike is actually very comfortable to ride in tornado winds, and it’s taken a long time to get it to this point.  I picked up the check that didn’t get mailed after finishing that shop and and continued south, to Red Deer. It’s can be so frustrating chasing money, and people for the money, but it gives me the freedom to take a Friday off and do something I love.  The wind was behind me for the afternoon and the sun was out. It Felt like a great day to be alive after a long winter and I was looking up at the sky as I riding down Highway 2, feeling the deep purpose and rhythm underneath it all, it could have just been the thunderheader and 41 year old Harley this 41 year old was riding but it felt connected . The shirt I was wearing was one of the shirts I got out of the box labele...

 Johnny rides a Harley Davidson. 

 I’ll pull the carb again, she’s running, but has some midrange bog. Should check some other stuff , but she’s running, riding and where we’re going we don’t need brakes.

Just keep moving forward.  Working on some tool rolls, tools bags , t shirts and other ideas. Some progress on bikes as well.
