Bikerscum - Patrick St. Jean

I had some Harley reward bucks to use up from a credit card so I went up to American Eagle Harley-Davidson this evening and picked up a heated jacket liner.  Harley's chosen Gerbing to manufacture their stuff, and ordinarily I'd buy something without the… more »

We just got back from picking up some new jets at American Eagle and set to work bumping up to a 48 pilot and 180 main. The pilot went in without a hitch but the main wasn't right. It looked like a Dynojet jet instead of the stock Keihin jet, so after… more »

Since Red's in town we set up a little eyeball over at Logan's Roadhouse. We had a good turnout, with some new faces and some old familiar ones. It was like old times again. more »

I've been thinking about picking up a sport touring machine for a while and with gas getting more expensive and me getting older, touring on a Sportster just isn't as much fun as it used to be. I went out today to meet with a local guy who has an RT for… more »

It was a busy day today, met some of the North Texas Netscum for breakfast at Mama's Daughter's Diner, then headed over to Competitive Cameras to see if I could find a more convenient bag for carrying the camera around D.C. in May. Thankfully, I did. I… more »

I picked up the new tappets, made by Crane Cams, from Strokers this morning and started working on getting the two for the front cylinder replaced, since I already had that half disassembled. After that I moved on to taking apart the rocker box on the r… more »
