For those of you who don't already know, Hippy Killer 5 is right around the corner and what better reason to get there early then attending the DICE pre party April 12th. The Creepy Creeps and White Walls are taking the stage at Wild West arena this year !!

We stopped by Noise Cycles last week to catch up with T-Bone as he get's down to business on the bike he is building for the builder invite. A 52' EL Panhead motor will sit in the drop seat swingarm pan frame. The motor will be taken to 88 cubic inches with a 4 5/8" stroke and lightened Truett & Osborn flywheels. S&S pistons, a compression ration of 9:5-1, Andrews B grind cams and shovelhead intake valves will all help wake this thing up and endure the pounding that Scott will put it through. We talked about the inspiration behind the bike and Scott hit on dirty street racing as the term that came to mind. Scott  mentioned that he would incorporate some removable body work to lean it down when this thing hits the strip. A small secondary tank will reside under the main removable tank for use when it's go time. A set of Noise trees sets the tone for the front end and that large drum will help slow it all down. Take a look at Scott's builders video and stay tuned as his bike comes together. Thank you T-Bone for having us over to your shop.....

Here are some more pictures from Saturdays BF5 Loser Machine Party. Big thanks to Captains Helm, DIXIE and TriCo for hosting meeting spots to ride from. We had one hell of a good time and can't thank everyone enough for all the support. To all of you that made it up to Garage Co., we appreciate it! See you at Born-Free 5 at the end of June.

At age 19, Sailor Jerry was enlisted in the US Navy. It was during his travels at sea that he was exposed to the art and imagery of Southeast Asia. Artistically, his influence stems from his union of the roguish attitude of the American sailor with the mysticism and technical prowess of the Far East. He maintained a close correspondence with Japanese tattoo masters during his career.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone that came out this weekend for the party at Garage Company. We are blown away by the support and could not have asked for a better day. Thank you Mike and Grant from BF5, Harpoon for slanging beer all day, Yoshi for opening your amazing shop to us and all the people that worked to pull this thing off. Thank you as well to Street Chopper, Lowbrow Customs. Pabst Blue Ribbon, Law Tigers and The Speed Merchant. I will throw a few highlight pics up now as we edit them up. Stay tuned for more to come......
