clean-up!

so,the shop was such a messy sh!t-hole,i had to take a few hours and clean it up from stem to stern.
i always think i'll get more done if i just keep workin. but when the shop's a mess your mind gets cluttered as much as the shop.
in other news,we sold the '67 dodge van to a guy in texas...kinda bitter-sweet,cuz its such a beautiful great running unrestored passenger van/the rear bench seat intact.which is really hard to find.
the yamaha tt500 racer is on ebay now with a bid at $3200 on it.so were slowly thinning out our collection,ive always been so weird about selling things! but once you do it,and you get some money,its actually kind of liberating. you can focus on some of the projects you want to work on...and you got the money to buy the misc things you need for said project!
i mean, we still have the bent metal bike for goodness sake!...that bike has been sitting in marks living room for like six years!..i was very ambitious with my design on the bike..and not so ambitious with actually building a bike that functions..hah! so after we got it running we figured out all the things on it that just dont work.so in the next month or so, im gonna get a hydraulic clutch kicker cover for it,re-do the foot clutch,probably make a different set of handlebars for it,do something different on the swingarm,and a few more misc. things. get it running and driving good...then put it up for sale.
i have no idea what it will sell for,but between mark and i,and other people helping,it easily has over 3000 hours into it.i look on ebay,and billy lane and jesse james bikes are on there for $65000, for months on end with no bids...but,i also see bikes that arent built by a celebrity builder that are stylish and done well,and they sell for great money..
at the end of the day,it doesnt really matter,cuz it aint makin me any money sittin in marks living room!
sorry no pics today,i'll get back on track manyana
