Long Time. Just checking in. New Projects

Post by Warpig Racing »

I still got the ranger but it is still in storage. Havent driven it in about 2 years. No time to work on it.

In the mean time I got into motorcyles. Built 2 old Honda Choppers and just bought a 06 Honda VTX 1300. This summer I am also planning to build a 3rd old chopper.

I am also in the market for buying my first home. I think I am going to look outside the city limits and get a place with a few acres and a HUGE shop. I moved last summer b/c my roommate bought a house. I moved in with him and he recently got engaged so its time for me to get my own place. I was planning on moving out soon b/c I don't like the part of town that he bought his house. The neighborhood is nice but a lot of gov't housing and tweakers in the area. I never owned a gun before I moved in to my roommates house but now I have a couple and I am a conseal carry holder and often carry while working in my garage, working in my yard, or driving around. Note that it is not the house that is in the pics below. That is at my dads house.

Here is some pics of my current project. I am building a single wheel trailer to pull behind my motorcycle. It is shaped like a coffin.

Me too! Glad to hear you are still a round and busy. Sorry about the neighborhood, some can be rough. I'm a county boy, nearest neighbor is 1/10 mile in either direction. Any trouble I get is going to be from one of nature's critters.

I am going to skin it in pine and it will be for long road trips. Mostly camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, ice chest, clothes, etc).

My first ride was to use an actual casket. I placed a wanted add on craigslist and I have a couple of bites. One was used :) It was a rental for people that get creamated. I was origainally thinking it would be the way to go because I wouldn't need a tent. Just crawl in the back for the night. I decided to build one that looked like the old school coffin to be original.
