The guy wearing the shade tree racing shirt is Dragon, the owner of this snake and several other exotics, and of course Kat is my lovely chickadee.

Here are a few lines about the bike and I am sure you are aware that more of its specs are available at: www.hackasaw.com/jj.htm , and there are pix of the raw J.J. sheetmetal built for the chrome spiderweb bike, where I got some of the strutless rear fender notions.

Some of you may recognize this bike as the one that started in various forms for Old Wolf and this is the constantly evolving creation. Yes, it took a lot longer than our super hero friend could stand, but here is a huge thanks for gigging me, effectively getting this one started. This bike is the last one that I and many of my friends finished before moving to my new shop, which is making building bikes much more pleasant. Keep your eyes open for more and better stuff. I'm still in Hartsville TN, 50 miles from Nashville, but I have a new shop now, with three phase and a non-leaking roof--kinda nice. We have Parts for Brit bikes and H-D type bikes, plus full fabrication capabilities in house.

Here's the lovely Amy who was brave enough to follow us home for a photo shoot and hang out near The Iron Pimp of Pain!

This silver putt is the Iron Pimp of Pain. It is a 1970 framed Triumph with a widened Santee hardtail bolted in place and topped off with a strutless fender. The fender's execution was inspired by getting to hold some of JJ's sheetmetal prior to CJ engraving it AND spending the better part of a month working with Billy and Nick at Choppers Inc. I used JJ's fishbones under the fender and CI's round stock technique around the edge (and many pieces at the base) for a very solid all-metal scultped fender that will actually support Kat's plump ass. The tig welder, I purchased upon my return from Billy's, surely made pouring the round stock to the relatively thin pre-unit Triumph ribbed fender (I cut a brand new fender for this project), a breeze. I will never go back to AC stick-welding or gas welding. There is very little non-metal filler on this Corvette Mike painted ride. Most details on how this rear fender was fabricated were featured in the Premier Issue of Choppers Underground.

My Kat and her Pimp.

The bike has over 100-hand-fabbed stainless steel pieces which all function in various ways. The left foot suicide clutch and real jockey shift components are all finished in stainless and are of my design. I've never seen another Triumph that utilized the stock swingarm tabs to convert a right foot shift to left hand jockey. I do believe it is yet another of my vast inventions. Its shifter lever is capped off with an actual S&W revolver cylinder loaded with real, but inert, 357 rounds that are pointing in a manner that doesn't shoot this bike, but could potentially take out a few of the Elite Republican Guard if they were to discharge. I gave Billy one and instructed him which way the bullets should be pointed. It smoothly bangs up and down this 750 cc Triumph's 5-speed tranny cluster. Ignition chores are handled by a fresh Joe Hunt mag which means wider forward controls than I normally fabricate.

Brakes are tiny and only serve to make you appreciate your very own mortality. This bike is fucking scary at times and will damned sure keep its rider grinning.
