Benji's Going Away BBQ

Benji's moving to Oregon with his lady to carve a new path and start some new adventures so Eric and the rest of the Empire of Rust crew threw him a send off BBQ. For those of you who don't know him, Benji is a stand up guy who does some quality polishing work and has a beard that would give Chuck Norris and Jesus a run for their money. I'd like to thank Eric, Benji, Lloyd and the rest of the Empire of Rust crew for their hospitality and for a great party. Anyways, here some pics I stole from everyone's instagram since I was to busy drinking beer to take pictures.

Benji on the right, Good luck in Oregon bro.

Justin and some of Boston Mikes boys camped out inside the shop the night before.

Be warned, if Justin crashes at your shop there may be some semi nude wrestling going on and someone just might rub their nuts on some of your stuff. 

The WTF made the 60 mile ride with no problems. Thanks to Rick for the bitchin pics of me and the wife on the ride up.

 

 

Lloyd snapped a belt and this cool as dude offered to load his scoot into his truck give him a ride to the party. Nice to see not everyone is an asshole these days.

Gorgeous Ducati cafe with Ohlins suspension bits front and rear.

 

Justin making some precision cuts to his fender after 1 or 10 beers.

 

The Swede skeeting all over Justin's sporty

 

America, Fuck Yeah!

 

Heaven Cycle party

Always a good time and the free beer never runs dry.

WTF Trumpet hittin the streets

Finally got the WTF running decent. Just a tad rich at part throttle but she's getting there.

Happy Thanksgiving Photo Spread

Black Sunday, Be there or Be square

Black Sunday, I'll be out there with the rest of the crew representing Grease Monkey. Swing by our booth, there will be some cool parts, vintage helmets and shop shirts for sale. Should be a good afternoon.

 

Im back

Been busy and out of town for most of October but I'm finally back and the Dirty Slut is in dire need of a top end rebuild. She's getting new 10.5:1 pistons, Andrews N8 cams, some mild porting and a few other tweaks. I'll be posting on the regular again so keep looking. Also I'll be posting some pics from the Hershey PA swap meet.

Vagabond is dead

If anyone was planning on joining us in Georgia, I'm sorry to say we won't be making it. A lot of people started dropping out as things got closer, leading to a domino effect of people canceling. It appears that most of south Florida is only up for a short ride to some watering hole within an hours ride. To anyone who got time off from work I apologize and hope you'll still go for a ride. If I try this again next year I'm going to make sure there there's a core group of guys that is 100% dedicated to making this happen.

Head count

Trying to get an idea of who's meeting up with us in Ocala. Leave a comment so we know to wait for you.  Or call me at 305-586-6563

Weather

Mexican weather girl, today is going to be Muy Caliente


Checked the weather and things are looking decent. Forecast is for 30% chance of rain through FL on Day 1, which is about as good as it usually gets this time of year. In GA we're looking at 10-20% chance. Also temps will be ranging from 87-58 degrees, so pack accordingly. We're leaving early enough on Thursday that I think we should be able to dodge any of the normal afternoon Florida rain, so things should stay pretty dry, but you never know.

Shirts

So I have the shirts and still have some left, if you'd like one and are going on the run, let me know and I'll bring it with me on Thursday. I'm not riding with a box full of shirts, whomever says they want one and gives me their size gets one. $15 gets you a great shirt and guarantees you'll get layed. (guarantee only applies to people who are already getting layed on the regular)

The shirts are also available at Grease Monkey Garage

Almost ready for Vagabond

Been busy getting the Dirty Slut ready for the run. New tires, hacked up some old bars into something pretty decent, oil change and tune-up... Decided to run a 21" up front with an Avon Speedmaster, but the spokes on the freebee wheel a buddy gave me were all seized so time to lace her up with some new ones. Should be ready to roll tomorrow.
Looking forward to Thursday and hope everyone is going to make it.

Also, if you're coming on the run and would like to contact me for any reason: shoot me a message or email me at Peter@greasemonkeygarage.net  and I'll send you my contact info
