getting back at it!! with new toys!!

I have wanted to build this for a long time, finally made the time and got it done.  New weld table with adjustable/removeable vice, 3/8 plate top that is drilled every 6" for lots of jig options, sitting on a 3" X 4" I beam frame, with 2 1/2 box tube legs on heavy duty castors and adjustable legs to level it up..  took about 8 hours and cost me about $150.00

 My old Rockwell lathe pissed me off for the last time!!!  so I sold it, and several other useless tools around the shop and bought this bad boy..  I know its not American made but Chinese people need jobs too...
I did a ton of research before I decided on this..  I had a budget of about $2000.00 and I think I got the most for my money..  I havn't done much with it yet but so far so good...  runs very tight, and I don't have to rebuild it everytime I use it..  I will post more about it later...

My boy Cole turned 3 today and got his first bike!!

take a breather...

So I have been out of the scene for a couple of months now.  Other than some service and bolt on crap for a few friends I haven't been doing anything with bikes.  Weird thing is I sorta like it, and the time off  has reminded me why I started in the first place.   I have been busy with my new baby girl and have only ridden a few miles so far.  I threw some new tires on the Buell and been riding it as is, oil leaks and all, and I don't care!!  It's about riding and getting away for all the stress and bullshit of the daily grind.  I forgot how nice it is to take off and RIDE!!  with no where to go, nothing to do, no one to meet, and just clear your head.   I have my priorities and my family is number 1, and that means my bikes have to wait.  I have spent most of the winter remodeling my house to get ready for the baby.  I realized I just like to build things, and don't have to be bikes.  I truly enjoyed working on the house and making it "my" way.  Turns out that I'm not half bad at being a carpenter.  

So when the stars align, the money tree buds, and when i feel like it, I will finish the bikes.  Everything is out in the shop to finish them, I even have the gaskets to fix the oil leaks on the Buell.  For now I will spend my free time riding, and remind myself what is important...

Love at first sight!!

Well I did it again, I need to find out what causes this..  I am a father for the second time.  Callie J. Civiletto born 4-1-10 @ 12:34 P.M.  5 pounds 14 oz. 18.25" long  Now my only goal in life is to keep her off the brass pole!!
