Big Sid's Vincati...

Just finished this book on vacation. Defiinitely recommend it. It's not just for motorcycle fans either. Basically the story of a project that brought a father and son closer together. But interesting reading for motorcycle fans also because it talks about the Vincent and Ducati motorcycles used to build the bike. If  you act fast you can pick the book up in the bargain bins at Barnes and Noble.  On a sad note after reading the book I decided to look up Sid Biberman, the subject of the book. He just passed away in June 2013. So hurry and go get the book, very good reading.

41 Years Young...

My son took these pics of me at Slippery Rock Dunes yesterday. That's me on my 1975 XL350.  Two antiques hitting the dirt. I posted this to show that these old bikes can still be ridden and not hidden in the back of the garage.

Couple new leather products for sale...

These are a couple new leather projects I just finished. If you're interested in these or any other leather projects email me at hatemachinecustoms@gmail.com

XL185 under the knife...

Someone did some real crappy welding so I'm going to cut out all these bad parts and re-do them. Also have to make a tailpipe and do alot of cosmetic work to this beast.

New addition to the shop...

My wife and kids got me this blasting cabinet for my birthday. Will make a great addition to the shop. I'm going to start doing blasting on small parts soon. Email me at hatemachinecustoms@gmail.com if you need some blasting done.

The Outlaw Ways..

Just found this on You Tube. These are 2 of my favorite artists so I thought I'd share it here. True Country music. Not the candy ass bullshit they pass of as country these days. Enjoy

Happy 4th of July..
