Jared the welding teacher pt.1
jared the welder was kind enough to help me out with my bike a few saturdays ago...we met up at 6am!, i had to coach my sons baseball game at 3 and its like an 8 hour drive down to the SF of utah...we got a ton done this day, but still didn't finish it all...we did finish last night, so stay tuned for part 2... this pic only shows about 1/3 of this huge shop
this is jared the weiner beating the snot out of my fender
jared again, using one of his fancy machines...honestly can't remeber what we were making here, but i felt vunerable standing next to this thing without steel toed shoes
the begining of jared writing the girl version of your name on your tire
pinky ring worth about 50 bling bling was getting pretty hot so i put a vent in my glove to keep it from over heating
i woke jared up and told him to hold this fender i just made
this guy showed up and was all excited about his last name being on that stand
this must be where they put all the bikes that take 3 years to finish...that kid has an excuse though, i'm sure that was a good project when he started and wasn't of age to drive anything on the streets...now he has a drivers license and a good excuse
jareds bike...jared was super nice/helpful/loving to help me out this day, because he was having a BAD day...he actually said that it was one of his worst days ever...it started having to wake up at 5ish on saturday morning, then he was super sick, was belching an odor more foul than anything that ever came from someones backside and making frequent runs to the pooper...i'm not sure if its TMI or not for me to share on the WWW that he even sharted and hobbled off to the toilet, so i'll hold those cards close untill i decide if i should share that or not, i'll let you know what i decide later...then it started raining pretty good so he had to ride home in that...then had a run in with an automobile and went over the bars like a WWF star off the tops ropes and onto the blacktop...poor jared, that sucks, thanks for the help though!!!!

So! We at TWFMco. pride our selves for being on the cutting edge of technology. So when our team rider/design consultant Jeff Harper wanted to update the graphics on his pro model we sat him down at our computer modeling station and this is what he came up with.
With the magic of computers Jeff adds a cobra seat.
Next he tries on a king/queen seat for size. Also, he ditches the coil mount under the tank.
Next he tries out some new paint. Here it is in blue
And here it is in purple.
I gotta say I like the blue with the cobra seat and relocated coil mount. What do you think?

Teaching my boys how to solder
It all started with Drake helping me solder up some wires on my buddies Salt Flats car.
Here Drake twists the ends of the wires.
Now twisting the two ends together and strength testing them before soldering.
Adding the solder.
Done. Next I'll teach him the heat shrink action.
Gavin wanted in on some of the action to.

Motorcycle Hang-out
Food for the night was super good! Thanks to my wife for putting it together!
Drinks for the Saints.
Drinks for the Sinners.
I was shooting to have the sign all set up and hung, but wasn't able to get it done. There towards the end I was having some serious Paul Sr moments. But I could only threaten myself with a size 14 boot up the ass.
Jay Keele got the shop shirts done so I put my boy Drake to work folding them. I hope I'm not violating any child labor laws. The shirts look great! And if you need any screen printing done, drop Jay a line at xjaykeelex@gmail.com
Shop shirts are $15.00 Buy one and support the shop!
we decided it was time to bust out the hot wrench and fix Jay's Sk8 rack on his sissy bar.
Jared Massic Doin' what he does best, puttin' the heat to the metal.
Everyone supporting the alteration.
My boy Gavin let us use his deck to test out the rack. Worked out slick!
I hope everyone had a good time. I can't wait to have another one. Maybe next time the weather will be a bit more on our side so we can get more bikes to show up.
