xs650 frisco chopper for sale

My friend Matt's truck broke down on him for good and to stay in business he is being forced to sell his garage-built Frisco-style XS650 chopper. I'm bummed about this as Matt has really been a good friend in helping me finish up the Freedom or Death Machine. He spent many hot hours welding and straightening up the bike after she arrived and I owe him.

If you are interested in either helping him get a cheap and reliable work truck/van or buying the bike he built with his own hands, call him at 512.785.0484.

His bike is a 100% custom fabricated chopper with a clear Texas title and current tags. It's a daily runner that recently completed the 1000-mile Pancho Run at the end of June.

+  Harley kicker arm and pedal
+  Hand-tooled leather seat
+  Hardtail welded on
+  Old school head lamp
+  Fake oil bag (electrical box)
+  Biltwell Frisco bars
+  Frisco’d gas tank
+  Rebuilt top end on motor
+  Mikuni VM 34 round slide carbs with K & N pod filters
+  Custom forward controls
+  Avon Venom tires front and rear

If you want to customize anything on it Matt will give you a discounted price on any fabrication.

The asking price is $4,900.00. That's a great price for a rideable and reliable XS chopper. Help a brother out, guys. Thanks.

voodoo vintage

Discovered another local cat building slick metric bobbers and choppers.

His name is Dave and he owns Voodoo Vintage in Austin. He's done some XS chops and has plans to assemble a few clean and classic Suzuki Savages.

We're hoping to get together in the next week or two and I'll tell you more about another inexpensive do-it-yourself metric chop shop.

Check out Dave's website to see pix of a completed Savage chopper, as well as to view products he carries from Lowbrow.

hajarbroxx cb100 tracker

Gifny and Nandang are the guys at HajarBroxx, a custom metric motorcycle company from Bandung, Indonesia. They call this the "Brat Baron." Looks more like a tracker to me than a brat, but that leads to a discussion of semantics I don't think anybody can win. It's simply a very cool bike.

As you may be aware, small bore bikes are the norm in Southeast Asia, from India to Indonesia. If you have a big bike out there, you're very wealthy. Due to the economic disparity between the States, Australia and much of Europe, Southeast Asian dudes are forced to build 'em small and cheap, usually for a few hundred bucks. Perfect bikerMetric ethic.

Great photography.

falcon motorcycles propaganda

I don't hate these guys, but they're elitist corporate whores. Appearing in American Express commercials this summer and shamelessly promoting themselves for months on end with every bike they build (only two so far), I wonder when they have time to create their third six-figure status symbol for somebody who will let Falcon keep it to ceaselessly promote themselves. That must be why each cycle takes two years to complete.

Why buy a bike and let the builder keep it to enhance their own brand recognition? Seems the buyer ought to get paid instead of the other way around.

With all due respect to the esteemed Jason Lee, who actually took home his bike, wouldn't it be great to build bikes for millionaire suckers who pay over 100 hundred grand to purchase but never take possession of? What a deal.

Here's their latest bit of propaganda. No discernible oil leak this time.



Their next bike is going to be a 1951 Vincent Black Shadow and according to the Falcon website it's slated for completion.... last month.

Hence the video above so you so don't forget about how cool Falcon is!

I wonder what you guys think of Falcon. Overpriced and overhyped or unique and properly valued rideable art?

monkey vs. robot

A classic with a monstrous hook. I dare you to watch the whole thing and not unconsciously start to sing the chorus to yourself today.

Now that it's stuck in your head, and you realize chicks might dig it, you can download the MP3 or get a Monkey vs. Robot comic book for yourself, your kid or your grandmother. I'll make a nickel but the recipient of your gift will love you for a little longer.

Money = love.
