I think it is safe to say that we are finally finished with the '72 Sprint project. The last page of photos will show you what I ended up with.  I also took the liberty to update the next to last page.  I'm planning to get back to the '74 project over the winter of '06-'07... really.  I have some nifty custom-fabbed parts I wanna brag about, so don't give up on me.

I'm also backlogged on "Friends" photos, but look for a new page this month.  Have some pics of our bro' Dennis' Sportster as well as some pics of Gil's custom big twin. With any luck, we'll be able to start posting more of your photos soon.

Speaking of wonders, guess what? We're almost finished with the '72 Sprint project. Check out the updated project main page and a whole new page of pics showing the bike's almost done—for real this time. I'll be posting an outdoor photo set of the final product real soon.

December 2004

Will wonders never cease? I took the time to write up a Real World Road Test of a 2004 Harley V-Rod!

October 2004

Added some long-overdue pics sent in by some friends... Here are some photos of Mike & Sam's gorgeous '49 pan, along with a very cool, old school mystery pan!

March 2004

Take a look at one of my nearly completed prjects. Not a panhead, not a Harley...by old and way too cool for school! It's my recently-completed (almost), long, LONG term project '68 Ford Bronco, "10+ Years After".

In other news—yeah, you've heard it before, but this time it's true: the 1972 Sprint SS350 is almost fully assembled! New pics WILL be arriving by the end of April, I PROMISE!

May 2003

One of my best updates in a while, and I apologize for not getting this out sooner. This month I give you Armand's 1961 Panhead from Namibia, in West Africa!

March 2003

The wiring on the '72 Sprint is ... DONE! We've got parts out to be rechromed, too: bars, shock springs, and a few miscellaneous parts as well. Hope to see those back in less than 3 weeks. For your appoval, scope out the teaser pics of the finished tank, the paint work, along original decals, was performed by Splatterhouse Graphics. We've got all the sheetmetal pics scanned and ready to go. The rest of this should be easy. Watch for a paint & sheetmetal page soon. We'll show it all to ya, from crappy to beauteous.

Okay, so it isn't a motorcycle. Nonetheless, it's one of my long term projects that's lasted just about 11 years! It's my custom 1968 Ford Bronco. Click here to check out the first few installments. Still to come are final pics, as well as build-up pics that show, among other things, the bare frame hanging in the garage along with disassembled axle parts everywhere!

January 2003

Not much of an update this time, but...

In addition to scanning massive numbers of images, I'm rewiring the '72 Sprint and will have a slew of pics of that soon, too.

As I've said in the past, I'd post way more updates a lot more often if I didn't have a life!

March 2002

It's been a long time coming, but you Sprint fans finally get an update. Take a look at the heretofore unseen 1972 Sprint SS350 that's put the '74 project on the back burner for so long. I have also updated and reformatted all of the existing '74 Sprint pages so now they load quicker. I've updated the text on several pages, too, so if you want to get reacquainted now's the time to do so. I have lots of '72 photos to post over the coming months, and will DEFINITELY be finishing the '74 by mid 2002.

We've also added a new "Bros" page, our sixth. Check out any of the "Brothers, Sisters and Other Friendlies" pages you might have missed by starting at page 1.

Back, I say, BACK!
