Jason's VL springer

Jason's buddy hooked him up with a VL springer last Wednesday. Looks nice! Will have to drop by to see soon.

Silk screening - hands on

I like getting in and trying things. Have been interested in silk screening for some time but haven't had the opportunity or any time until this weekend. Joined a weekend workshop with my friend Terry to force myself to make the time. So far so good. First day we learned about using drawing fluid and clay emulsion. Tomorrow is what I'm looking forward too. Worked on some acetates and hope to create some screens of . . . of course my favourite subject matter these days, my dream wr racer. Here's a preview of one background screen. Man, I have respect for the precision and detail needed to do this stuff properly. Back out again tomorrow to finish off. Hope not to waste a few Ts . . . wish me luck.

First upload to Youtube - Jason kicking my bike

Winter is still here, looking for things to do. Posted my first Youtube vid. Hope to do more, follow the channel "throttlelover", subscribe if you like to see what we are up to. Here is a video of Jason kicking my bike shortly after he rebuilt the motor last fall just before the snow, no tuning yet.

Glimmer of hope

My ironhead and this keeps me going through the winter. Looking forward to making some progress in the spring and summer this year. Hope the motorcycle gods will be on my side.

JPRC Ironheads from the past

A couple of Sportsters from JPRC past, done a few years ago I believe. I've said it a million times, if you are looking to get one and you are anywhere remotely close to Toronto Canada, or anywhere for that matter, contact Jason at JPRC (thglyf@hotmail.com). Lots of cool handmade parts, JPRC springers . . . Dennis's Ironhead Blue Ironhead - it's in the JPRC office up front at the moment if you want to see it in person. Photos from Jason
