hit the gas

my memories are fading,
and so are my tattoos.
could it be I'm getting older,
or is it just from all the booze?

the lights no longer twinkle,
just as bright as I recall.
the road just continues on,
through this overly long haul.

life takes me off the track,
twists the things i thought i knew.
going down a new road now,
with a view that's all askew.

don't know what's around the bend,
what the next corner holds for me.
all i can do is hit the gas,
and i guess... just wait and see.

Flash Friday July 23, 2010

So, I've had a few requests,
for a return of the posts baring breasts.

Am who am I to disappoint,
I ask as I light up this here joint?
Say welcome back to an old friend,
one focused on the top and not the rear end.
So Happy Flash Friday to all you naughties,
I hope you enjoy these here nekkid bodies!

Love,
VonFuct

A leather project for myself... a wallet.

Okay kids, so here's a wallet I made for myself. It's the second wallet I've done so far and I think it came out pretty good. Next I'll be developing a pattern for a wallet to offer for sale with custom tooling. Hope you like it!

Cheers,

Ratty Matty's Wallet

Here's an in progress pic of a wallet I made for my boy, Ratty Matty. It's his artwork on the front, he's a sick tattoo artist. I'll have to get some pictures of it next time I see him, I didn't take any of it when it was done...

While we're on the subject of leather...

Here's a knife sheath I made for a little 4.5" knife I bought at an antique shop not too long ago. The sheath it came with was not in such great shape so project time! It was my first knife sheath and only my third leather tooling project, but I think it came out pretty good.

Seat...

Here is my first idea for the seat design for the XS... I may or may not run it, not sure yet. Now comes the "fun" part, assembling and sewing the seat up! Anyone have any tips, this will be my first seat made?

New Frame...

So I went back and forth on what to do with the frame for this bike. I knew I wanted a hardtail, but should I go for a weld on or go with a whole new frame? Then again, my girl thought some suspension might be nice too and I had been liking those little BratStyle bikes out of Japan. Well, a new hardtail frame won out so here she is... 32 degress rake, single downtube, +2" stretch in the back, 4.5" off the ground. It was a low cost eBay buy but the start of exactly what I was looking for. It's gonna need some work, welding, grinding and whatnot, but it's a start. Anyway, I had to see how she was gonna look with some shoes on so from frame to roller. Oh, the bars are from Slim at Slim's Fab and the headlight is what i'm leaning towards, it's a small old FORD spotlight. Would love to find an amber lens for it. Anyway, now I'm on the hunt for a 21" wheel or rim I can lace up to a small drum hub. As far as the rear goes, I can't decide on sticking with the stock 18" or going for the classic 16"/21" combo. Probably sticking with the 18", I want this bike SKINNY.
