Hey, y'all.  Been a minute, but figured y'all would dig this.

Shovelhead.  Babe.  Ducks.

@Finn666:

anyone living on this road (Florida)?

I grew up right around "K".

I agree with him.

Thanks, guys.

Joe, the road gods demand their tribute.  I've put a ton of miles on that thing in the last year.  It needed a change, anyway.  I've already introduced frame to sawzall…

@Moonshine:

Sorry about your crash, TJ!  How did it happen?  Did it mess up a lot of stuff or just the girder?  Hopefully the Invader is still ok!

I hit a huge expansion joint on the freeway while I was leaned over a little bit.  Nasty tank-slapper pulled the bars out of my hands and I went over the top.

Almost everything forward of the neck is toast.  The Invader was rad, but they're just too damned fragile.  I welded that one back together twice, and this time some spokes bent and one actually cracked open.  Back to 9-spoke mags for me.  They don't look very cool, but they can take a beating.

Any recommendations?  I'm going to fix them up myself because I'm stubborn like that, but wondering if there might be any tricks of which I am ignorant.

By the way, only damage from a 65-70 mph motorcycle wreck.  IH is the shit.

Womp womp.  The worst part is that I wasn't even getting radical when I stacked it up.  This is my second freeway crash in IH gear with essentially no road-rash.

51 all day. That shirt kills.

I am a stone cold sucker for tuck 'n roll.

Picked up a new whip

1969 GMC 1500, 307 with a 4 speed.  Very little on this truck is original, or even there for that matter, so I'm gonna get to have a lot of fun with this one.  I've got it driving reliably around town for now.  Wiring, body work, suspension, bed outfit, paint… Should be done quickly, right?
