Vor's Unfinished Projects Show

Vorhese threw his first Unfinished Projects show last Saturday in the wet and wild city of San Francisco. Throwbacks had a blast, Joe public had a blast. While it rained all day, GalleryMoto SF was high and dry on the second floor. Turn out was massive, packing the gallery and bringing together the sleazy greasy old bike set alongside the highbrow art and fashion set. Not a natural mix at first, but the only clash was with the clientele of the "Wicked Grounds" bondage coffee shop next door. Only in SF! Beer rescue runs were required several times, old vinyl was spun with reckless abandon, and everyone had a great time. Not even a single exhibit was knocked over. These city folk know how to party!

Unfinished motorcycle project / art show

Here it is! Downtown San Francisco, Feb 19th. It's a Cycle/Art show for unFinished projects. Submissions filled fast for rolling art, but you may get something on canvas in the show if you're quick to dial. Arranged by our brother Vorhese, the opening will be a fun little get-together for the riding public. Spread the word, but most of all, show up and say hi to your friendly neighborhood Throwbacks!

Troop's Birthday Ride -- Report

Had a great turn out and some fantastic weather to celebrate Troop's birthday on Saturday. 30+ of the worst ne'er-do-wells to ever lay tire to tarmac turned out for an 80 mile jaunt through the foothills.









Miles were lain, beers were sipped, and one friend "Mittens" went down and earned himself a nickname. Recovering with minor damage to self and major damage to cycle, Mittens will ride again soon. It was a good day, with everyone counting their blessings by the end. Throwbacks thank everyone who made it out to Grass Valley or supported someone to do so. We'll do it all again soon.

Troop's Birthday Ride

This Saturday, 5th February meet at 10am (departing at 10:30 sharp!) Paco's Tacos 550 Mill Street Grass Valley, CA.

A quick chopper jaunt into the foothills, celebrating freedom and friends (and warm winter weather). Ride your scoot on a three hour tour. Meet at Paco's Tacos Grass Valley at 10 am, we'll finish there too if you want some grub.

Throwbacks Wrench Party - Day 3

Sunday.

It was just Vorhese and Pops for a bit. After some breakfast, we hit the garage and started setting up the day's fabrication. Doug decided to head up from the Bay to help out.

Gratuitous spark shot




Troop showed up so it was 4 of us working. We spent quite a while cleaning up the fender, Pops welded up the foot brake brackets, Doug and Pops worked on the front brake stay, and Troop continued to work on motor parts and modified the seat, making his preliminary parts list of all things Triumph.



We got the fender mostly mounted before Vorhese had to pack up and head home.


So Vorhese's preunit was left there. He'll be heading back in another week to finish things up. Pops took the hard tail in and TIG welded all the brackets, those weld porn shots posted earlier. It couldn't have been done without the support and love of the Throwbacks. The combined knowledge, skills, penchant for nonsense, dubiousness, hospitality, and comaradery makes it a blast to do what we do.


Too see all the photos...
