Panhead fever
The fever has turned viral! Look what I scored from Bernie today! Very nice 57 cases, 50 heads in really nice shape, shovel 3.5 tanks, and a milk crate full o goodies. I feel blessed and I'm not the least bit religious.

Saddle work
Reworked this old solo seat the other day. Not totally happy with it but its not bad for a five dollar seat.
Bernies Machine
Was hanging out with my buddy Bernie the other day and he pulled out these pics of his choppers through the 80's. Awesome! Various changes, obviously, through the years. Frames, motors, etc. Starting in 81, ending up around 87. The only year missing was 85. Some of these bikes were ridden across the country! Bernie is a hell of a guy and knows his way around a motorcycle.
If you need ANY frame work or machining done, look up Bernies Machine in Saskatoon. He's got more knuckleheads then I have friends and is always willing to share his knowledge and riding stories of the past. Tons of respect Bernie, thanks for all your help!

Bobby's FXDXT
Our buddy Bobby Carr down in Regina has great taste in motorcycles and his latest ride is this fine T-sport. Such a clean, badass motorcycle. Looks fucking cool and built to ride hard. From what I hear its going to be getting some kick ass upgrades over the next while. I want one...

The bible
I have been looking for a copy of Bruce Palmers - "How to restore your Harley Davidson" for quite some time but just didn't have the balls to pay the over inflated prices due to it being out of print and scarce. Well I am pleased to let u know that it is back in print and readily available! Got my copy for 35 bucks from amazon.ca free shipping, it took 3 days to get to my door step!
Corys Honda chop
My good friend Cory Tremier's CB 750 chop back in 03. He sold this bike a few years after when he moved to Ontario but is back in town and got the bike back as well. It's currently going through a compete rebuild and makeover. Should be good.
Hambone
Picked up Csik and Bernie and headed out on the road to pay Lee a visit out at Hambone Customs. Had a great time checking out all his latest work and listening to Bernie's old chopper riding stories and jokes. Great time was had by all.

Playing dress up
Got my wishbone frame back from Bernie, and picked up an oem springer for a hell of a price as well. Couldn't help myself when I got home. I'm sure this bike will be going in a whole different direction once or twice before I settle.
Manual labour
So I inherited some old manuals from an uncle of mine and have decided to share the wealth with all you fine folks. These manuals are long out of print and probably pretty hard to find so hopefully some of you can make use of them. First off is a Cross Index for early Harley Davidson parts numbers (pre-1952) to the later and current 5 digit numbers. A must for anyone working on a restoration or rebuild of the early bikes/components. Makes parts ordering much easier when referring to the vintage manuals and parts books. I have found a few other reprints of this manual but most places are wanting anywhere from $15 - $45 for this book. These will be in the store for $10 plus 5 for shipping. If you want one right now email me brianwjessop@gmail.com
I have some very cool WLA and WLC 45 manuals as well. The military mechanics handbook is really cool and informative. I should have some of these ready by next week. Let me know if you are interested in any of these.
