Eames X NYC dept of finance collab

I had to spend a few hours at the court house in Brooklyn to handle some parking tickets. Pretty interesting system there. All I can say is if you think you can beat the ticket, it's worth a shot. I beat 2 tickets and I'm getting reimbursed for the towing fees I had to pay as well.

Plus there are some great Eames fiberglass side chairs with red leatherette upholstery. Herman Miller must have had a great contract with this city.

more progress on the '78

Chris sent me this picture yesterday. Sissy bar goes 24" above the rear fender. Tall enough for a bedroll, sleeping bag, MacBook Pro, you know, the essentials. Look how that narrowed rear fender hugs the tire!

Easyrider?

Check out this shot from an old late 70's/early 80's magazine....

Once again, it's the little things.

After a year, the pipes are parallel and even.

Random photo from this memorial day Saturday. Oh and be sure to listen to Dr. Dre's Let Me Ride today. I know we will be during the epic beer pong tournament in BK.

Born.....free?

We are in the final stretch and the cross-country build is happening. Slowly, but happening. Plane tickets have been purchased. I will be riding this thing to the event.

There will be many changes made from this state you see here to the final version.

Anyone have some different bars ideas? I was checking out the Pangea streamliner model, but I could also see some clean and narrow T bars working.
