Row of Monkey Bikes and Mini Dirt Bikes




Spring Ride on the Moto Guzzi

Took the Ballabio out for a spin earlier this week.















Animal Themed Signs- Address Sign and Charolais Bull Sign

Its been an animal themed month so far.  Here are two I did, one featuring a hummingbird and the second a partial restoration of an old ranch sign.  The original image in the ranch sign was done on vinyl some time ago.  Of course, as we all know, vinyl gets brittle and falls apart, unlike the hand-lettered words below that are of the same vintage, which have only faded slightly.  My job was to remove the vinyl and repaint the image in such a way as to make it look as old as the lettering.  I was happy with the way it turned out.

Another Customised Moto Guzzi

Here's another one from the V11 forum (which by the way you should check out if you're interested in these bikes http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/). This one is a Ballabio with spoked wheels.


Moto Guzzi with Custom Fairing

I saw this one on the V11 forum.  Gorgeous bike!

First Big Dirtbike Ride of the Season

The winter so far has been extremely mild out here on the West Coast of the Great Green (nee White) North.  So, brother Tom and I decided to go trail riding on the Honda XR's. We took this main logging road and then rode through some great single-track trails through the woods.









March Sign of the Month- Surge Milker Sign

I pass this rusty relic on a regular basis.  One sunny day I had to stop and take pictures of it.
