Chopper

This BMW Chopper build has been a wild ride, it has been over a year since I unboxed a brand new BMW R Nine T Racer and removed the heart of it for this project. BMW’s support was instrumental in making this project a reality, but don’t be fooled, this is still a budget operation. […]

If you had been following this build on Instagram and Facebook you will have a pretty good understanding of the effort I have been putting into it. I have really focused a lot on raising my personal fabrication standards with this bike. Writing the ETS Fabrication School content has definitely helped! The biggest change has […]

Last year was a blast! A lot of things just fell into place but it wasn’t without a heap of pushing. You may remember this really long post from last year about wanting to build an old Panhead Harley? Well to cut the really long story short I’ll summarize the highlights for you. – I […]

My plan for this season was to enjoy what I have, get back to the track and keep everything maintained to the highest level. Although this is a one man operation I do call on help in the form of product support from time to time. These pages have opened up a lot of great […]
