The cross country trip i posted about a lot when this forum was created is finally happening. It was hard to keep the constant drive to get the ball rolling by myself.
Along comes a friend i haven't talked to in a year or two. He says he wants to build a bike. From that moment shit went into action.
Two weeks later we got him a bike. Bikes are to be built to some degree of proper 60's-70's style chopper vintage,somewhat legal,and ready to make the trip by Jan 1st. We will be taking a few hundred mile blast/shakedown run that morning since the highways will be pretty empty.
lots of planning,then in march were heading off. Two weeks cross county, get some pacific coast beach sand in our boots and race the fuck back.
Tarps draped over bikes for tents. sleeping in fields and shit. Drinking',fighting,fucking, from dive bar to random chopper parties in the woods.
I'm hopefully Buying a whole set of 8mm film gear this week from on CL. Pistol grip zoomatic camera. ( apparently the model that shot JFK's shooting) a projector, Splicer/put back together-er,and all the other shit needed,in original 1960's working condition.
We will be making a Film of the spectacle,all in 8mm. Just as if it really was the 60's.
I've been working 7 days a week to raise capital. Already asking for the days off. We've been planning in the garage till the week hours of the morning. Lots of Cutting/welding,hackin' up perfectly good vintage bikes, just a blitzkrieg of getting ready for it.
This thread is still a little premature,but I was excited. And wanted to let my e-friends know it's really happening.
wooo!

At the same time? Sounds like you're trying to squeeze too much life into the game. You know what happens then...
