I read this on The Vorhese Blog and thought this pretty much sums it up , so I thought I'd put a copy of it here . There is a link to The Vorhese at the end of this article.....



Jesse vs Pud

Yeh, I'm going there. And don't pretend you're too good to have not had any interest. It's a sad day in motorcycles when this laughable thing...

beats something like this...

Jesse's bike is definitely not something I even really care for, but build-wise, it's leaps and bounds better than Paulie's. People that like Pud Junior's bike are people that a) don't ride motorcycles and b) are like magpies, attracted to shiny objects, deer-in-headlights syndrome. Just look at that travesty! He looks like he's riding a Big Wheel. You can't really ride that thing. I won't mention Paul Senior's machine other than it's not a bike, but I think it's cool in its own respect except the riding position. If I had a farm I'd love to zoom around on it.

Let me start with Jesse. People really hate him because of the adultery stuff and some hate his cocky attitude. I think he's hilarious and entertaining. But that does not pertain to his ability to build bikes. The man has skill, respects history, respects the process. He's an actual fabricator who surrounds himself with other talent.

Paul Jr, on the other hand, is a wannabee. He's a mook. Money bought him the facilities and notoriety, and he's convinced him he's a designer. The people working for him have the skill, but he's just a supervisor-type when it comes down to it. He has gaudy taste. And he doesn't even really ride bikes. That is evident with his creations.



It really grinds my guts that this pudlicker has any sort of fame and there are tons of amazing builders out there that don't get any mainstream notoriety because they don't have enough manufactured drama in their lives to make for entertaining tv. We can't get any real fabrication shows on tv because "the masses" can't comprehend watching something educational. But that's probably a good thing. Keep the good stuff out of the public eye. It's already become ridiculously popular and much more expensive than it used to be. Motorcycle popularity comes and goes... and it's time for it to go.



American Chopper has been canceled. Jesse starts filming his new series in January. And word is Pud Junior is getting his own series. The closest thing we have right now to a real building show is Cafe Racer TV, and even that is 50% crap.

Good Weekend...

The rear wheel is done , new rotor , wheel bearings and a slab of fresh grease

The rear caliper needed bleeder repair . Drilled out the bad bleeder hole , tapped , lock tighted an insert and put the new bleeder in. Using some grease on your drill bit and tap helps keep the shavings out , No Flintstones brakes this summer!

Today I will do the front wheel , the rotors are still good , but could use a clean up .  The calipers will get some fresh pads and some new brake lines...

And so it begins......

So I finally chad a chance to start on my FLH .Started by just getting some things apart and off. The goal this winter is pretty easy - New brakes , new floorboards , make some new pipes ,new foot controls , clean up some electrical , new drive chain , wheel bearings . Still thinking about repainting - we'll see how it goes ......

Back to the projects.....

The Ironhead has some bugs to work out , but started right up and got me around town last week before the snow fell . Still for sale - Make an offer !

The Shovelhead starts getting pulled apart for some repairs next week !

New brakes , custom pipes , new kicker arm , cleean up some cables and wiring , new floorboards and controls !

Getting shit done

FBS got a new shop today ... Great place . Looking forward to getting back on track and getting some shit done ! Pictures of the new place to be posted soon.......

Fuck it all , Fuck it .. No Regrets

Well , I;m sellin it all . Almost . If you know me than you might know of something I have that you want . I will also list stuff soon in the "For Sale " section , but if you ever eyed up any of my shit - speak up now and make an offer - I still have my Triumph , and a couple Harley's - If your interested in the Shovelhead - be prepared to get off your wallet - 'cause thats one of the things I plan on ridin' out with my fingers in the air....but I might be able to be persuaded - who knows. The Ironhead is up for sale or trade.

I am thinking about keeping my pick up truck , so I'm looking for a 14-16 ft enclosed cargo trailer . But I'm toying with selling my camper - its an old one but its sweet !

I also have my shop van that I could let go . Its a 2000 Ford . Runs great , no leaks , 2 sets of great tires . Probably got 6 bicycles , I just want to keep one .

Buy something made in USA..LETS GET BACK TO WORK!

BUY AMERICAN FIRST FROM MAY 1ST TO JUNE 1ST OR FOREVER--


Did you see that Diane Sawyer has a special report coming up this week? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .



There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they are going to show truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and will be talking about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..



It was interesting that Diane said that if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!



WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA’



FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '


I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.


Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think while the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets?


70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.


Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!


Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.


Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!

Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on May 1st and continue it until June 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, MAY 1 TO JUNE 1st !!!!!!

START NOW.
