I recently stumbled across this short film created by a cat named Andrew Quinones. I don’t know Andrew personally but he is my kind of dude! Check out his Vimeo channel: http://vimeo.com/user7206445

I WENT TO A CAR SHOW TO WORK ON THE SPORTY PROJECT TODAY
Well… not really but I did go to a car show today which happened to have a huge swap meet… and while I was there I saw this center hub cover off of an American Racing wheel. Got it for 2 bucks and it will soon become the gas cap on the Sporty project. (Hmmm… the dog seems to like it too.) Here’s what I mean… of course the tank will be a different color but you get the idea.

2012 NASHVILLE AUTOFEST
I grabbed a few pics at the 2012 Nashville Autofest today. I could wander shows like this for hours. So many memories are stirred by these awesome vehicles and shows like this are a great way to chase away the winter blues, bring a smile to your face and just hang out with some cool people. You can see a ton more photos from today by CLICKING HERE.

SPORTY PROJECT UPDATE: PARTS KEEP ARRIVING
More parts arrived today for the Sporty Project. I picked up a retainer ring for the Fatboy headlight. It was missing on the unit I acquired via my buddy Scooter and the local H-D dealer scored one for me. I can also thank Scooter for snagging this rear fender for me. And last but not least, my Burly Slammer (eBay find) rear shocks arrived in the brown truck. Wouldn’t it be cool if I actually had time to install all of these cool parts? One day… one day…
A DOUBLE KNOCK-OUT PUNCH
Today I delivered a double knock-out punch to the Dark Months by attended two great indoor events. I revealed the first in my last post… and the second was the Arenacross Tour which rolled into Middle Tennessee tonight. I love motocross and watching over 450 amateur and pro racers go at it in person was a total gas. I highly recommend you find a live motocross event in your area and go support it!

ANOTHER POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MOTORCYCLES
Well folks… here’s another post that has nothing to do with motorcycles. Today I photographed the Tennessee Motorama in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Here are a few of my favorites from the day. The 427 powered ’66 Impala (2nd image below) particularly caught my eye. What a gorgeous vehicle!

IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS
Sometimes it’s the little things that make life grande. Today I was super-excited to get the new clutch cable for the Sporty project. Whoooohoooo!!!! Can’t wait to get it installed.

THE NEW FATBOY ILLUMINATE
I’ve always loved the look of big, huge headlights and the Sporty project would not be complete if one were not added. The new Fatboy illuminate adds about 2 inches in diameter and a much fatter shape to the stock vibe. I REALLY love this look. The front-end is getting closer. Another baby step completed. Below is a before and after look.
And here’s a side view of the new light… followed by a side by side comparison. (Sorry for the crummy photo. They are both actually chrome… flash photography with the point-and-shoot sucks!) Obviously the new light (left) is FATTTTTT!!!!!!!

MORE ON THE SPORTY PROJECT
I stopped by Tennessee Speed Sport today. I’ve been looking on-line for an Auto Meter Tach bracket and on a whim dropped in to see if they happened to have one. I thought for sure they would have to order it but the guy came out of the back room with one in his hand. And… it was 3 bucks cheaper than the cheapest one I could find on-line! Gotta love that. Are you wondering what this has to do with my Sporty project? Well… I will be using this Auto Meter part to re-locate my speedometer.
