e seen his work before and this is old news but i don t care josh deserves all the publicity and credit he can get he is out there living the life working it and totally ruling with his camera and his very 70 s ironhead longbike and he just bought another one too on top of being an outstanding photographer he is a great blogger and really knows what to put out there to keep you reading and checking in hey man not everyone knows what to photograph can get to what needs to be photographed knows how to photograph it and can write about it josh rules he s the whole package baby so this is me handing out bucketloads of respect to the man the myth the legend the kid kurpius absolutely outstanding work sir thanks for always putting your work out there for all of us to see for free and inspiring me personally we all love ya out here in internetland keep it up check out his site joshkurpius com and the blog he contributes too kemosabe and the lodge good stuff people and you gotta respect a man who takes shots with a full size pro bodied dslr on his long bike that ain t easy folks trust me http kemosabeandthelodge blogspot com posted by bird at 11 58 am no comments labels josh kurpius key inspirational photographers kemosabe and the lodge photography tuesday december 29 2009 random inspirational bikes new pic of a knucklehead i have posted before swiped off of the sparetime blog i really dig the aesthetics of this one very drag bike very cool still can t get into the peace symbol though or the lack of front brakes still it has to stop better than a spool hub right light skinny fast ground clearance handles good mid pegs magneto no battery kick only posted by bird at 11 26 am no comments labels harley japan japan rules knucklehead mooneyes sparetime blog and a little dose of respect i just want to throw this out there roland sands may not build bikes that i agree with every time but the guy does not hesitate to ride his stuff hard or to have fun with any motorcyle which i cannot argue with posted by bird at 11 19 am 5 comments labels causing trouble hooligan respect roland sands shennanigans random inspirational bikes nice clean light honda cb cl360 chopper project although i like single carbs on many bikes i would have to be sure that this one ran good enough to justify it cb cl 350 s and 360 s make fun power with 2 carbs and are not horrifically complicated but if you take to much of that power away just to be able to put a single carb on there i m not sure i would say it was worth the trade off it s certainly going to be easier to work on and maintain post apoc however light light light skinny fast handles good ground clearance posted by bird at 11 11 am no comments labels cb360 cl360 honda random inspirational bikes really nice big photos of a clean xs650 chopper swiped from billdozers flickr page cool mid pegs that have been raised slightly but aren t full on frisco peg height good ground clearance it s a pity about those lack of front brakes and the rake doesn t look like it would destroy your handling sure it s not going to be as quick as stock rake but still not bad at all very nice build light skinny fast ground clearance handles good high pipes high mid pegs posted by bird at 10 58 am no comments labels billdozer xs650 yamaha snowed in well we ve been hit with the second blizzard in 3 weeks time and nobody knows for sure how much snow we have gotten but the drifts are 8 foot high in some places so yeah basically i am thinking about cutting open a taun taun to stay warm 40 mph winds have made it really hard to do much and that makes it less likely for my computer guy to work on my computer when he is diggin himself out unfortunetly i still have to go to work but i am trying keep moving a little bit on the blog now and then posted by bird at 10 50 am 2 comments labels blizzard cold cold midwest nebraska snow sucks monday december 21 2009 random inspirational bikes a sufficently nasty evo sporty chopper

blood flacons blog evo sportster random inspirational bikes totally wicked evo attack chopper swiped from the sparetime blog that is in dire need of a kicker and a trash can to throw that heavy

labels attack choppers evo harley japan sparetime blog random inspirational bikes very clean xs650 chopper that is really in need of some brakes and a lighter front wheel of course and once again i have no idea where i got the pic light skinny fast handles good posted by bird at 5 32 pm no comments labels xs650 yamaha thursday december 17 2009 what would mad max do part 2 recent conversations with the one and only tom rose have caused me to spend even more time thinking about the what would mad max do theory of crashability and motorcycle engineering tom suggested rightly so that i expand the wwmmd theory to include his theory of compatibility the theory of compatibility is simply the intentional incorporation of consumable parts in your post apoc motorcycle or attack chopper build that can be found in multiple industries vehicles and geographical regions for instance bearings points chains sprockets ect that can be found in tractor shops car parts stores and other places i have it on good authority that even car tires if narrow enough work on the rear can handle decently and last and insane amount of miles think air cooled vw width not big wide stuff tom has gotten his fxr back on the road with just parts from a massey tractor shop and he has over 200 000 miles on his fxr so i guess he might know what he is talking about now i m dead serious about this theory people it s no joke this can work for you you can use this thinking exercise to build very capable attack choppers that will hold together and survive crashes hard commuting traffic battles and big miles think carefully for example how about magnetos and no batteries people how many good batteries do you think there are going to be after the bomb i mean for a while sure but eventually ok so no bomb what about a plague same concept is your friendly battery truck going to stop by and replenish the shelves with nice clean fresh working batteries you scoff but so what if that s abstracted from our reality the thinking exercise is still legit it works think about it you had been running for some time you really had to wrap it up hard to get away from the last batch of scavengers if you had just been 30 100 lbs lighter from ditching your battery starter battery box solenoid wiring and brackets you might have been able to speed out of the way of that chain that was swung at your arm back there man that stings tore out a lot of hair too you wonder if you have any hair left under the blood and dirt you were riding across central kansas when they found you the first time they haven t been able to ditch them the whole way across the state are you still in the state you can t remember how long it has been they just keep finding you bloodhounds with v8 s and pointy sticks man you used a lot of gas up trying to get ahead of them would have saved some if you were just a bit lighter but you got free finally who knows how long you have till they find you again minutes hours days no it won t be that long it will be soon that 4 car pileup you left for them won t stop them for long you better hope you can find some gas somewhere up ahead check some wrecked cars check the farms oh wait there aren t any farms out here no farms at all you really are in trouble you re tired dirty and sore you have cuts that are getting infected and you need to clean your wounds and there isn t a town for a hundred miles maybe more you have to stop to pour blood out of your boot cool off in the shade clean out the pus and stitch yourself back up get a drink hunt for food watch the horizon clean your guns sharpen your crossbow bolt broad heads and when you go to leave you re battery is toast shot you knew it was getting weak but you haven t seen any bikes to scavenge a battery from in months besides the last 6 or so you did check were more dead than your current turd of a battery and you don t even have a kicker but even if you did you don t have a magneto so sorry sucker you lose the dogs of war are bearing down on you soon you will have to make stand nowhere to hide nowhere to barricade yourself it ends here all because you were running a battery and no magneto sucks to be you hopefully they will be hungry and will kill you quickly instead of playing with you while they roast you on the rotisserie like they did the last straggler that they caught with a dead battery now you think that none of that fictional situation is relevant to you think carefully have you ever ridden anywhere that didn t have a gas station or a bike shop every 15 miles have you ever ridden anywhere that a breakdown would have meant exposure to dangerous situations how about exposure to dangerous people can you perform emergency medical treatment on yourself or do you need to get to a sterile medical facility when you get injured have you ever ridden somewhere that didn t have a restaurant or truck stop every 15 miles do you carry food and water in your saddlebags do you feel like pushing your bike miles at a time perhaps in the rain heat or cold is fun and a great way to get a workout have ever done the math and realized that another mile or two per gallon would have gotten you safely to that next gas station instead of being stranded have you ever been hit by a car because your bike couldn t accelerate fast enough to get out of the way of the incoming vehicle have you even been hit by a car or truck because your bike couldn t swerve or make a lane change fast enough have you ever had people harassing or chasing you on the highway in their car or truck or another bike and your bikes ignition system or battery was weak and your bike kept misfiring and you weren t able to get away from them happens more than you think have you ever broke a part because you hit a huge pothole by accident or rode down a seriously destroyed road and you realized that the bracket or part you broke would have survived if your bike was lighter and therefore the suspension would have taken the jolt better and never have transferred that much force to your components less weight means less damage when you crash guys simple math and don t get me started about batteries and vibration cold heat ect that is one seriously flawed system right there but all that can be avoided my friends just run a mag and no battery and remember the core principle behind this theory if your bike could survive in post apocalyptic vehicular combat wouldn t that bike serve you exceptionally well now with today s crazy traffic beat up roads and cell phone wielding car drivers of course it would so here are some questions for you to think about 1 which would survive vehicular combat better air cooled engines or water cooled engines 2 which would survive a crash better 3 which is easier to repair in the middle of the wilderness or in a post apoc world 4 if it is the air cooled motor that is superior is the sacrifice of the greater performance of the water cooled engine a worthy trade off remember the definition of sacrifice giving up something of great value for something of greater value i am speaking here of the two extremes the ural vs a 2009 japanese sportbike but of course there is middle ground an air cooled ducati vs a honda cx500 for instance there is a lot of flex in this area which is why careful thought is needed 5 how prevalent is clean water and antifreeze in your imaginary situation what are you going to fill that radiator with if it breaks or is damaged 6 how capable are you at repairing your motorcycle how about fabrication can you build a part from scrap with minimal primitive hand tools if necessary remember electricity might be sketchy at best and power tools could be miles away and who knows how prevalent full gas cylinders for torch welding will be might be wise to learn how to use a forge eh 7 what about over complication is your bike way too hard to work on due to overly complex engineering how many wires are in your wiring loom do you know how to track that short down do you even have batteries for that multimeter you carry do you think those dogs of war will wait for you while you chase that wiring issue or that lean condition on the side of the road 8 how prevalent are spare parts for your make model and brand of motorcycle do you carry important spares with you 9 what are the weakest components of your motorcycle levers fuel lines wheels controls spark plugs what is brittle exposed soft thin and can take you out of the fight 10 is armor a viable option for the components 11 how about merely reinforcement 12 do you just have to worry about crashing or are you planning on swung chains axe handles bars hammers rocks bricks flying bullets and crossbow bolts how about flamethrowers 13 have you thought about the added weight of your new armor vs the strength and protection you will be gaining again is the sacrifice worth it weight will not only slow you down but will cause every other part and system of your bike to strain harder and wear out faster and lessen your fuel economy 14 how about air flow to that motor did you block it with your armor 15 what is more valuable in combat to you acceleration or top speed 16 how likely is it that you will have to go off road both to get where you need to go and also during evasive maneuvers 17 how necessary is rear suspension for you to evade pursue and survive 18 can you fix your bike in the dark 19 how many miles can you do before you run out of gas 20 how efficient is your bike 21 how many spark plugs carbs intake manifolds and valves do you need to maintain 22 can you even see your spark plugs without disassembling your bike for 10 minuites these are all just ideas to get you thinking about this theory for yourself you can scoff at these concepts all you want but that dude that is bombing around on his stripped down feather weight rigid framed sr500 single with dual sport tires no battery one spark plug one carb and a bark busters is looking at you kinda funny
