Switching blogs

Ok we hate to do this but we have to switch blogs due to Ed setting up this blog and no one remembering any of the info to log into this blog and do what we need to do with it.

So any of you out there that still follow and want to help out we have another blog set up you can go to www.butchershopcycles.blogspot.com

I hope to see people start posting things on the other blog and keep the Butcher Shop going www.butchershopcycles@yahoo.com

This blog is just going to be a memorial to Ed

Don't look like it in the pic but getting some stuff done down at the Butcher Shop. More updates an pics to come.

Little look at the beginning

The boys

Triple bag

One hell of a chopper

I ran across these pics of this knucklehead and couldn't help but think this bike has seen alot of shit and prob put through alot. I love the pic of it being built in someone's house. Reminds me of story's of my old man, bought a basket case panhead one night put the hole thing together in just one night in his living room and rode it the next day from pennsylvania to North Carolina. Those are the days of real biker stories.

Winter

So now it's January and the weather has not been that bad. Days have been around mid 40's which for New England weather its crazy.

But enough about that. John has bough another bike and given us the privilege to build. So cleaned the "Hot Rod" and junk out of the garage to make room for another build. Ripped the bike apart ordered the hardtail and nick welded it up. I shaved down the legs and made a battery box. Dropped off the motor at Dennis's where we will regasket and clean the shit out of it.

Still have alot ahead of us but glad to be spending nights in the garage. Tonight didn't stay long me and nick did some marking up of the rear fender but felt way to much like shit to stay in the garage. Being sick sucks.

But I will be posting pics and keeping you updated on the build as we go along.

A meeting of friends

Last night after band practice we gathered at the garage and home of Dave Santoro, Where we drank beer and reminisced about our good friend Ed. It was good to be around friends and family and to share some of our memories of him.

Basically, i have always been a VW nerd. I threw good money after bad building that motor for it. At that point I had thousands into a fucking Corrado.

I blew the living shit out of 3 G-Chargers. They were not meant to spin at the speeds needed for 16-18lbs of boost. The pulley i ran was like half the size of stock. Anyway, I got the fuck out of that car after charger number 3 went. I traded it with some kid in Brooklyn (BRK son!) for a garbage can of a 97 Pissat. I almost never got another VW again after that damn Corrado.

Point is, i'm still a closet VW nerd. Im glad dennis threw that pic of his GTi up. Reminds me of where we all started out.

so i can at least post something

found this a few days ago on flickr. The 1954 Chevy caught my eye. I'd guess thats a 1957 Dodge a couple cars over. No idea whats inbetween.

Anyway, the real gem in this pic is the Braga Bridge, under construction. Crazy.

Now for some perspective, the building that says Lamport is still there, its the brick mill you can see just before the 195 on-ramp on 79 south. Although now, the giant rusty green elevated highway block most of it. i looked today, the words are still on it, just painted over. And the SMoke stack towards the middle of the pic is what is today, Work Out World.

Obviously, 79 isnt even made yet. I would guess this photo to be from like 61 or maybe 62. The bridge wasnt done until 66. And, the Guvernment Center wasnt there because they didnt finish it until 1976.

If i were to venture a guess, i'd say this photo was taken around the Herald News Building or maybe where Denny's used to be on Milliken Blvd.

Either way, this is the raddest picture i have ever seen. It has it all, old cars, and Fall River landmarks.

And im sure once the weather breaks, ill get back to posting ugly bikes and not gay nerdy pictures of a city i wasnt even born in.
