Mags you don't usually find on the Newsstand...

Rolled over to Jersey yesterday for the 47 Industries Unfinished Bike Show... It was a miserable cold drizzly day so it was great having an indoor event to check out.  The owner, Mike, put on a great party... "refreshments", food, music and all kinds of "in progress" cycle builds on display... bike projects were loaded up and dragged out from as far as Upstate NY and PA. It was a great chance to see people you normally don't catch up with 'til spring.
Mike shares the shop space with a leaf spring company and they were apparently gracious enough to open their connecting shop to house a large part of the show...
Definitely putting this on the calendar for next year!
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but you get the idea...

This and That...

Picked out a set of passenger foot rests for the 47FL

Mark (Twisted customs) fixed my tank tab which has been broke since the beach race in October...I'll be glad to get the 46 back on the road! 30 plus years of buildin' these things I still never learned to weld...oh well maybe this year...
