HaHaHaHa I'm so excited about this bike I can't even believe it. I've found alot of neat stuff this summer......... For a loser, I get lucky sometimes. A few weeks ago I was tracking down a MINT 32 Ford frame that was on the other side of the state. I had talked to the guy on the phone about it, and made several attempts to pick it up, but was never able to. The guy was always busy. I waited a few months until he told me he would be ready to load it. This was the same guy I got the 34 truck and a bunch of other parts from. Anyway, I finally get ahold of him to set a time to pick everything up. We set it all up and then he tells me he had just sold the 32 frame a couple days earlier. I was PISSED! I had plans to build a whole car around this frame. I called CheaterCarl and was complaining how someone robbed my frame from me and that the guy who sold it was a jerk. (He's actually a really nice guy, but I was pretty upset at the time) Carl heard me out and said "Dude I just saw that frame, it's in Milwaukee, this kid just bought it." So I track down the kid and was trying to talk him out the frame, he said he had plans for it, but had another one that was kind of rough, but he would sell it. I flew down to Milwaukee to look at it and it turned out to be too ****ty for what I was looking for. The wierd part is this kid and his dad new all about me and my dad and his dad remembers all the stuff my dad used to do in the old days..... I sat and ********ted with these guys for a while. Finally the subject of bikes came up and I went into my usual rant about how everything ****s and the only cool bikes are from the Japanese builders etc.etc. So then the Kid says you should see my brothers bike, he wants to sell it. They opened the garage door and this garage was so full of stuff there was no room to even stand, but there it was. It is a 1953 Triumph, Pre-Unit, Factory Hardtail. To be honest, I don't know much about bikes, but I knew I needed it. The problem was I am broke because of all the other stuff I have going on. I told them I wasn't leaving the garage until we had a deal. It ended up that the kid's brother needs some bodywork on his 56 Ford, so I made a trade deal. AWSOME!!!!!!! I have BIG plans for this bike, but I have alot to learn. This is my first Motorcycle. I'm pretty happy about it. It's funny how things work out sometimes.........
i can dig it,but lose the hexagonal oil bag,install a ribbed rear fender,and maybe some nicer ex. pipes and call it done.i'd try to find some monoblocs and ditch the concentrics,but that's kind of a personal preference-george
Bob, you ***. If you own a bike and a couple killer rods, that means you need to hit my HAMB deal during the Stugis Rally next year!!! I still think I can get you guys a 1 or 2 night gig out here.
That bike rocks,,,nice score! You sure have found alot of kool **** lately holmes... I cant wait to see what you do to this thing. Remember that episode of Happy Days when the Fonz went blind (or some ****) and the boys brought his bike to him in pieces to make him become one again with his machine.. Dirty

SWEEEEET! You're going to have to do something with that tailight - how about a repop Hildebrandt oil filter turned into an oil tank? I can get one for you
That bike is a RULER! I know we don't know each other but I hope you don't mind me telling you that that bike makes me feel all tingly... but not in a GAY way... If you ever need any trump parts I may have a few and may have a few sources for others... they might not be close in terms of geography but they are COOL and CHEAP... let me know... By the way you could always start the ******* offshoot of the sinners... "los pecados" Tim
[ QUOTE ] What's the initiation? [/ QUOTE ] You don't even want to know....... hahahaha..!!! (ask Germ or Donnie....) Cool score Bob..!! It'll be cool to see what you do with it..!! The 'Hot Rod Gods' certainly do look down on you in a good way..!! Bummer about that f'n guy selling YOUR '32 frame, but hey, at least you scored something cool in the end..!!! Take it easy..!! -Snacks....
great score Bob.. Thats some luck you have lately finding all these finds.. "You don't even want to know....... hahahaha..!!! (ask Germ or Donnie....)" I didnt know Donnie was a Sinner..
Bob Bleed, becoming a sinner isnt to hard. Its blood in/blood out ask RF about his initiation, you can still see the fresh scars. Livin la vida loca holmes. Jimmy White p.s. my scars are just starting to go away.

Very cool. I picked up a project bike last night too. 80 Yamaha 400. I think I'm going cafe with it, but I do want a bobber...
The only thing gay about the bike will be your *** sitting on it. It's cool as ****, leave it just like it is. One day in this millenia I will have my '63 T100sc back on the road. Remember all the 'good' books say that we're all sinners, I'm an extra big sinner because I used to be able to lick my own nutsack. I go to the chiropracter every week because of my past sins.
****, that's cool. Can't wait to see how it turns out after the Bleed touch is applied. Great score Bob.
I'm coming to California for the BLOOD initiatian and the whole thing, just don't try to stick anything in my ***, the Cheaters already tried that......... Everytime I open a magazine lately I see some killer bike built by someone who "get's it." Then I notice some *** sitting on it with "Sinner" written on him someplace. Sinners = ****s on Bikes? HaHaHaHa I have been lucky finding cool stuff, its Karma for sure. In a few weeks you guys will understand TRUE karma.......... I've busted my *** for eveything I own, and sometimes my P***ion leads me places. I'm Romantic. When you live and breathe for Music or Cars, or anything else for that matter, you eventually get good at it. You become one with it. P***ion will carry you. If you don't understand what I am saying, you never will. I think the Sinners probably do................ Germ does for sure. So does Tuck. The plan for the bike is to get it up and running and take off some the gay trinkets. It basically just needs some love. Then I will tear into it and build the cooest Triumph EVER HaHa I'll try to get more pics today in the light.
The best part about this bike was Burger's response to it. He was completly loaded when I got it back to the shop and his first words were, "That things like looking at a stacked teen." HaHaHa That was funny.
