slimsfab xs for VON FUCT Eric

This is an XS650 belonging to Eric of Von Fuct leather,All the fab was done here at the fab farm in redlands,ca.the frame is a shaved and cleaned stocker with a slimfab hardtail 2 inches stretched.The original plan was to run an old girder front end Eric got from the long beach swap....But it was really fucked up! So to get him to born free on time I stuck on his stock front end and just shaved the legs!(soon will be a slim fab girder)The axle received lathe treatment as well to fit the slender 23 inch front wheel.I narrowed the wassell tank to decrease capacity and kill it with style!!! It is ornamented to leave Eric with some creative space for some of his crafty leather work.The fender was supplied by Eric and simply mounted here,the seat pan is made to "chase"the shape of thr fender.The bars and sissy i built to sort of flow with eachother and lend the bike some spunk for style,the controls were all hand fabbed,and oxy acet formed,notice it is jockey style with "HURST" fassioned lever!On the bike is a electrics/batt stash box too.... i may have missed a thing or too...pipes are on the way. Thank you Eric for having me be a part of your bike! PLEASE LOOK UP ERIC AND HIS WORK....VON FUCT. I like this fuckin bike,pictures dont do it justice,SLIM 951 217 8814

nothing to do but sit here and grovel with why im laid up. and i have zero idea why there is an underline under all the text. dont care enough to look around. the top photo is bill kahn, from 2001. my first trip to the redwoods. the one under it was the most recent trip to the same spot. last summer with 30 other like minded folks. motorbikes, camping and a damn fine time. i said same spot but,,, well, its in the same park, just a few miles from one another. even though ive sat on my ass for almost 3 months now, doing fairly alright because i know things should go back to normal. hopefully. who knows how many years this wreck took off of my upright life. money wouldnt make it any better, it would just tremedously soften the blow. if i could buy a house with some settlement money, god damn that would be nice. instead, im sitting here with my withering muscles, losing 2 pounds a week. ive got an exercise bike that ive been riding in the living room to try and get some muscle back in my legs, but its still too early to tell if its gonna help. with m.s. you have a hard time gaining muscle because your current muscles get beat to death before youre able to to work them hard enough to gain/build muscle. so depending on that amazing situation, there is potential i will never walk again. at 33, thats not an easy one to swallow. keepin my head up, but hours of boredom plague my head. getting out of the house isnt enough. a normal life like i had the morning of march 2nd would more than mend it. out of touch with reality is a son of a bitch.
so we will see about my job and vacation time, but my main goal for this summer is to be better than last summer and even though its off to one hell of a start, there is still potential after all. cant wait to get back on the road under my own control and power.

Max is back for BF 5...He has built a insane bike every year for the show and always delivers.Every bike I have seen built by Max is something I would love to own...probably like most you too.He has his own unique style with his paintwork & what he builds...always different & always cool!! He has also built an incredible fan base over the years who digs what he does and that's a very hard thing to do!! We are very pleased he's back with us for BF5 . This year Max has agreed just like the other 17 builders that are involved in the Giveaway Promo to build a killer bike and then give one of you the opportunity to take it home at the end of the show.This is a chance of a lifetime and may never happen again.Is 25.00( You are buying a poster w/ Free ticket) too much money for the chance to win Max's build or 17 other highly talented dudes? Think about it and if you think it's worth a shot go to http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/p2800/buy/misc/born-free-5/born-free-show-born-free-5-poster-amp-raffle-ticket-with-limited-edition-of-500-screenprinted-poster/ and get some...
