Jawa Tank

I just threw in the beach photo because I wish I was ocean side, having a hot rock rancho relaxo.
I got this old Jawa tank at a swap, it's an old dirt bike tank of some sort. The tank was designed to under mount to the top tube of your cycle, making the gas cap and pet cock (the way i wanted to mount the tank) flipped. I figured that if I could make the tunnel of the tank land into the top tube of the frame I'm working on. A few zip cuts and grinding and presto, gas cap is located on the other side and same for the pet cock. Still not sure if I'm going to run this tank, but wanted to see how it would look on the bike. This is an old photo, the frame has been changed quiet a bit sense this photo and the tank sits way to steep, but it gave me an idea. Another sunny day! TL

Fish Cart

I was on this boat trip up north in Rivers Inlet, about a 3 day tow to get up north with our tug boat, barge and materials. On our way home we had to wait for a weather window due to rough seas. We decide to tie up to this old float that was falling apart and had a few old bunk houses built on it. I believe it was used for a fishing resort years ago. We tie up and this is the first thing that catches my eye...

16 rear/21 rear "DIRT FIRST"...this was the second thing i spotted....

Nice shouldered Akront 21" rim 36hole...had lots of bird shit and slime all over it, but hey...

I cut the tire off with a grinder and saved the stainless spokes, just need a cool 36h hub now, any one have and any old spool hubs? So good to be back on dry land, took a ride today on the bike with Ash, so fun! I love finding cool shit, makes you feel lucky.
