Great BMW sidecar photo
I’ve always told myself that when i have a MASSIVE garage, i will get a motorcycle with a sidecar, and a dog that will ride in it. This guy is living my dream.
…My dog (when i get one) will also know how to catch a frisbee.

Off to get bike #2
The Palm Desert. The only thing growing out here is wind farms.
Heading out to Mark’s garage in the Palm Desert is like going to a giant candy store. SOooo many bikes…
He has a crazy palette jack that lowers the bikes from the racks. He brought down BMW #2. She looks fully complete. Bummer about the dent in the tank. And bummer, no title.
BMW up on a shelf. Ummm, yes, i’ll take THAT one.
Brought down from the rafters. A new home awaits! Cool palette system huh?
My buddy Matt Grayson secured a van for us to transport this bike back home. He had his eye on the Honda CL200 (as did I). He ended up taking it home for a mere $350. If he didn’t buy it i was going to.

And out of all the bikes out there, i couldn’t get my eyes off of this rinky dink Harley Davidson. I had to have it just because it is the complete Anti-Harley. I can’t wait to get this used harleys cleaned up and running then to pull up to a Harley gang at a stop light and see the look on their faces.

I see myself headed back there for another bike… eventually. There are sooo many gems sitting there that i want to get running and ride. Hopefully i can find a home for one of the Triumphs…
And so it begins…
Another bike build. I have stumbled upon some fortunate luck (but somebody once said luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it). Every few weeks, I seem to get a random email about my last bike build. Somebody will compliment me, or ask me how i made something, or what parts i used… but one came in a few months ago that caught my eye. This one was different. It was VERY complimentary, honest and came with an inquiry to build another bike for author. Before i knew it, phone conversations were made, we hit it off, and game on. Time to find a donor bike to turn into a cafe bike like mine. I couldn’t be happier to have a project like this going for a guy who appreciates my taste in BMW motorcycles. Time to get to work…
