Went to Mercy Lounge in Nashville last night to see The Jug Huggers - we got there a bit late due to the fact that I'll be late to my own funeral. They were pretty good.
After we left Mercy Lounge we decided that we were hungry, so we went downtown. I had eaten at a place called Baileys earlier this year when my friend Joe was in town so we went back there. After that we walked up and down Lower Broad a couple of times basically settling outside Rippys listening to some band play. They were rather eclectic playing anything from Big and Rich to AC/DC. Lisas toe was hurting so we came home at about 2am. All in all not a bad night.
Sorry - no pics this time :(
So Tues night went to Zanies here in Nashville to see Ralphie May - literally in tears laughing so hard. Got to meet him after the show
Then Sunday we went the annual Lone Wolf Tattoo and Horror Festival
1st we met Scout Taylor-Compton - Laurie Stroud from Rob Zombies version of Halloween - she seemed impressed that i knew she is up for the award for the Scared Shitless award on the MTV Movie Awards
Dee Snider of Twisted Sister was also there - he signed my VHS copy of Strangeland and told me the sequel is coming out 1st quarter 2011 - We grew up kinda near each other on Long Island and we talked about the clubs TS used to play at before they got famous
in-between all that i got to go to a local lowbrow art show and made friends with my new tattoo artists, and check out some bands at a coffee shop nearby
All in all I'd say I had a damned good week off

Tank
So I sent this Sporty tank to Elswick Cycles and this is what they sent back - 1.5" removed from the center, fill hole moved forward, petcock moved back and Friscoed. This tank kicks ass!!! If you want tank work done send it to Robert - he'll hook you up
Stripping the Triumph
Got the cylinders off and all the motor mounts. Now I just need to actually pull the motor out of the frame and put it on my motor stand.
Stay tuned, there's more to come soon
Bike content - finally
I got myself a 750 kit for my 69 Triumph - started stripping the head off tonight. I should get the cylinders off this weekend. I need to buy a new wrench set.
