Matt Olsens Dash 2



360 Brass


360 is the material “machinability” of another metal is based off of. It can be machined at super high speeds and makes gold-colored dust!


Anyone?


Looking for someone from the New England area who is driving out to Born Free who would transport one of bikes out there. I’ll pay ya…

I’m in Branford CT


Fast Prop Plane


Check out “Sacrifices to the Gods of Speed” in the list at left…

500 HP V-8 race plane? This guy has the right idea…

 


Shootout at the LT Corral


Another antique gun shootout!


Matt Olsens Dash Project


I just got back from a 11 day trip to Aberdeen SD, the home of Carls Cycle supply, where I was invited to help Matt build a dashboard for his born free bike. Matt and his dad Carl are undeniably the best vintage Harley mechanics/restorers on the planet. This bike is going to be Matts entry into a buildoff debuting at the show. I wont give away too many details but the bike is sick. I will be adding more pics soon, but here are a few..

I got in some extra-curricular activity of course…


Giant Single Cylinder


Found this somewhere, quite an awesome machine.

Built by Fritz Langer, it displaces 2000 cc, or 122 cubic inches. The cylinder and head are from, you guessed it, a radial aircraft engine. Man I would like to discuss engines with this guy, he would feel my pain!


Wheels Show

Keino was in attendance

Wheels Show Recap


Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came down to New Haven on Saturday. The show went perfectly- great day, lots of people, and amazing cars. No lame stuff – except for a dude on a tiger print hayabusa, decked out with neon and bumping r and b- but that may have been the best part too. Thanks to Robert and Denise for making this happen. Many pics will come soon


New Haven Bike Show This Weekend!


Just a reminder, this Sat the 21st from 12-8pm is the “Wheels” bike and car show in New Haven! It will include several of my bikes, some exotic and classic cars, and photography by Bruno Ratensperger. There will be food available, music, etc. The street will be closed, and it will be $20 (towards autism charity) to park your bike inside the closed street in front of the gallery. There is also plenty of free parking nearby. Please come down and check it out! If it goes well it may become an annual event. Visit http://reynoldsfineart.com/gallery/ for official info.
