T-Shirts on the way!

All shirts ordered before Friday morning have been shipped. Thanks for your patience. I've been cracking the whip to get them out but the "help" is really having a hard time getting the process down as you can see! Some how the two of us managed to get shirts out to Australia, all over Europe, USA and locally in Canada. I'll be bringing shirts to Jason's soon and will let you all know. If you are interested to order online, you can get them at http://throttlefmc.bigcartel.com or by clicking the "Throttle. Shop" graphic on the top right. Thanks everyone for your support!

Friday Closeup

Probably a repost, fins from Jason's pan.

Mark Drews - Flathead Chop

This guy can't go wrong. Each build he comes up with each year is just awesome. I can't wait to see his latest creation in Yokohama and to find out where he gets his drive and inspiration to create. Photo from Half Moon Garage blog.

Chop or not chop?

I wonder if Jason will cave in? I left him Cycle Headz #4 to read, that edition features beautifully chopped Indians. Let's see what will happen.

Colt

I'm down with anyone that has bike parts in their living room, cool repost at Colt. Thanks for the support.

Shiny or not shiny

As much as I don't want to clean up some nicely patina-ed parts, I always find myself giving the parts I come across a little wipe down. I like to see what's underneath, not restoring a part but at least cleaning it up, so I can put my own miles on it. Anyone follow me, any thoughts?

Throttle. X Adam Nickel Colab T-shirt now on Sale!

It's been on my mind for the longest time to do some kind of shirt for the blog, couldn't figure it out until now. I'm so into 45's at the moment that I thought an old vintage racer illustration would be great place to start and who better have do the illustration than Adam Nickel. I first saw his work on the cover DicE 28 and then on all the fantastic artwork he's done for Born Loser. If you like the artwork, I've had it screened on 4 different color tee's, Black, Dark Chocolate, Navy, and White - you can get them here: throttlefmc.bigcartel.com. Get them while you can, be receiving orders through the week and mailing on Fridays. I'll drop some off at Jason's place for the local guys who want as well. Hope you all like the way they turned out as much as I do! Email me if you have questions, hon@throttlefmc.com.
