Re: "zb" progress?

Shawn - He mentioned ZB buildoff. You'll have to take Wilder's bike to play in the Honda sandbox. This takes nothing away from the great fab work you are doing.

I'm in... When are you going to stop by and drop it off?

Just kidding.

I look forward to the custom build, but It's not too much of a mystery to me at this point.. I know what I'm up against

There is a difference between swinging a big wallet and building the bike for yourself. I'm building my bike. Not really interested in a build off, just showing off the newest staple. The only other bought piece past what I have will be a shock.

Re: "zb" progress?

Nice parts J.

no smack talking here. Im sure there will be a sweet balance of one off motor work, some killer hand fabricated parts and some of the worlds best tuning shop pieces. Bet its going to be one hell of a smooth and sold running bike. The suspension alone is just crazy to think about.

I hope it will be a rider and not a show piece. As solid as that chassis has to be it would be a shame to not give it a proper beating.

Re: "zb" progress?

The blanket was stolen from your home last time I was there Dan.

Been a dirt tracker forever. You gonna be at Pomona this weekend? My brother will be there representing the team on the track.

Thanks for the comments. And don't worry, I don't do show bikes. There are a lot of plans for the rest of the bike that cannot be bought so this winter is going to be very entertaining if I finalize my concepts.

His setup isnt that much, you can pick up blankets like that from IKEA for like 5$.
