Just a group of friends sharing the same passion. No more no less.
Its getting close. This is the second annual just kickers run and man last year was a blast. Especially sense anything close to a grass roots chopper gathering like this is many days travel from our area. This one is close and full of great people. Last year had close to 300 bikes with the majority chopper or pre '69 and this one is sure to get stronger!
This is Kirk's latest creation. Super stretched high powered shovel with bubble bags. Kirk is also the mastermind behind the just kickers event.
We have about 7 weeks until the just kickers run in Oklahoma. Heath is trying to tear his tranny down and wanted to replace some stuff. I got 8-10 parts sandblasted for him to paint. Here is his dash, primary and taillight.
I'm not a hot rod nut but I decided to put a new cam in. My old cam was a stock FL, so I got a j grind.
I swapped my good friend my '69 shovel for his '51 pan. Neither scoot looks like they did when we swapped but we both still have them. He wanted the shovel for his 80 year old dad who forgot more than I'll ever know. That's his dad on my old shovel fuckin it up with a side hack he put on. Ride on brother! Hope I'm still doin this at 80.
I took the '40 cover off and put a proper pig snout on. The '40 needs alittle hone buff thru the kicker shaft hole. I think the welding repair done to it slightly warped it. Just enough the spring has a hard time returning back up, easy fix.
If you saw where these were it would blow you away how they didn't get beat to hell over the years. Next project is redoing a '40 transmission. Heath has a '40 ulh with a pan tranny so we may do some swapping in the future. The case and kicker cover I recently got both have a '40 date code. That would give him an all '40 drivetrain.
It was fair. Had a few vendors with old parts. Just gotta look around the bagger bling
Look at this picture and think about it alittle. This grey beard is still young at heart. He may have traded in his chopper but never his passion.
But I'm wired! And I'm almost done. Hope this 75° December weather sticks around.
