While I was in Austin I spent a lot of time with Bacon at his new shop. He's got a pile of motors going together at all times. I can't say I know another sole that eats, sleeps and breathes motorcycles they way he does. He only eats because he has to.... rarely sleeps and when he does he has conversations about Knuckleheads that are clear as day. Every morning at about 5:30 I'd hear his feet hit the floor and two seconds later he'd be nudging me saying... "hey... lets go to the shop!" as if he were a puppy ready to go for a walk. It's a trip spending time with him and wish it would happen more often.

Bacon's crazy valve set up
A handful of guys rode out from California. Brian went down at 85 mph. Him and Sean were getting on it when Brian's bike went into a speed wobble. Luckily he made it out alive with really only a torn up arm. Moreland was on his way out to hunt wild hogs in Texarkana so he grabbed Brian's and dropped it at the shop.
Sean and Rico discussing something really important I'm sure.
