About Me
Photobucket

Photobucket

If Im not at a show or racing you will find me at the house doing something for 1 of my 3 trucks there. You only get one time around so make it count! I am single in my lower 30's now, cars and trucks have always been my thing, well hell thats a lie, Anything MECHANICAL with a motor. Everything from steam power to internal combustion to turbine, etc. Raised around respecting cars and trucks etc, pointed out mustangs when I was about 2 or 3 to my mom, got to the point I could get close in years by the time I was 10, When I was 14 I started tinkering with a 1962 Mustang motorcycle in the garage, well kinda got into more than what my dad was ever wanting it to be, but we then embarked on a 16yr thing and now we build bikes to compete against eachother, My childhood wasnt normal being the only child of an only child, My grandfather was a huge influence on my automotive knowhow, he taught me alot and the rest I ran with, He was a master mechanic for metro here in houston, best man I ever knew. My senior year of High School I spent spring break changing the engine out in my 85 Lincoln Town Car with him, had a blast better than any party, It was a bit faster but the major changes came in a few years on that car. We lost him in 1998 and when we lost him that was super hard, my bestfriend was murdured a few months later in cold blood with a tire iron for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, these 2 things made me go into a deep dark place, I needed an outlet for my rage and agression and pain. STREET RACING, so I took the old family car that wasnt driven anymore, 77 Merc Marquis, 460 with a c6 and 9" rear, turned it into a drag car, pumping over 600 horse, gutted the car, cut it down on weight, was the #10th ranked for a few years here in houston, I was like Ice cold, no mistakes and very focused, was driven by hate and fueled by pain, had no care for my own life, women and liquor came easy, realized I partied my life away for 5 yrs, Motorcycles were always a part but rode harder and faster than ever. My love life was non existant for a long time, ripping my back in 05 was a huge thing in my life that stopped me from everything, sold the drag car, sold my street bike, and stayed with the 77 that was given to me and my 02 dodge ram I had had since new, Women have lied, cheated, all that stuff and friends have done the same, I dont hold grudges, but dont trust many people, I was raised in a christian household and my heart is still in christ, but some of the things I do walk on the edge of cookie cutter religion, but I am not out for public acceptance, I am who I am because of things I have been through, I know I have a good career and have many skills, I remember the first car audio trophy I ever got before my grandfather died, that was huge to me at that time, and now Ive won autorama with bikes, many numerous shows, and had a few women here and there, but still looking for the one like many of us are. Im blessed with a great life, but always pushing things more and harder and pushing myself to the extreme. Im Kev, these are my rides, and Im just me, come play my game Ill test ya, Still turn almost perfect reaction times so try me. I made it through hell, and sometimes feel haunted but Im better because I learned fabrication from just doing it, cutting welding etc, now have plasma cutter, mig welders, arc welders and good ole torch settup that was my grandfathers, now working on my lathe skills since I aquired one of those, I do all my own base and clear coat pain jobs, I dont have the time to learn airbrushing etc yet, I rebuild my own motors, rear axles are easy, and think like a car or truck does, Audio I learned just by doing it as the same with electrical, took digital electronics, ac/dc and superconductor in highschool and college, I design petrochemical refineries for a career these days, and love it. In the past I had to learn to be street smart, had to learn when to pull a gun, and how the ways the streets work! Now Im a laid back real chilled out person now due to what I have done and seen, always up for a new challenge though, haha. I found my sense of humor over the years again and remembered who was deep inside me, so here I am, a little bit hardcore with a good heart and sharp mind, looking for the woman of my dreams one day. Still play my guitars and sing a bit from time to time, Im very diverse and love all types of music, and believe that We are all here to touch lives 1 way or another, this is mine with music, rides, and audio.

General Vehicle Comments
Well this was my first bike, Got it when I was 16 looked totaly differnt for sure! Was stock with a 5horse motor, 2sp trans, basic red! Started riding it, having a blast, adding chrome this and that, still wasnt enough, Soo, Changed the color to Purple with major graphics, wasnt enough. Then decided to up the horsepower by adding a 16horse v-twin, that was good! had a blast then said this stock just isnt comfy to me. So took it all down, totly modified the frame, Cut, welded, modified, smoothed. Fenders were shaped by me, custom cut and sharp points, I nickname this bike Lethal Injection. So here it was, hacked up, streamlined, sharp look, pissed many of those stock guys off, but I dont care! Then I decided to push this 16 horse motor up to about 22, Changed the camshaft, did some head work, Jet Coated the pipes that I made. 1 drum rear brake, just like old skool choppers, it will stand up on the back wheel all day long, bike weighs 200lbs over a 1:1 power weight ratio! Makes it a blast to ride!

THE REBUILD THAT WAS THE FIRST PART OF THIS YEAR WAS A FULL RAKE JOB TO 35 DEGREES OF RAKE, A BLACK METALIC PAINT ON THE FRAME, CUSTOM HYD FRONT END, ALL BILLET, 12" FRONT WHEEL UPGRADE, SOME NEW TRICKS, CUSTOM HEADLIGHT, DISC BRAKES ON FRONT, NEW JACKSHAFT TRANS FOR THE ADDED TORQUE OF THE MOTOR, AND ABOUT TO CHANGE THE PAINT COLORS FOR THE TANKS AND FENDERS, GETTING WILD THIS TIME, AFTER A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH A SEAM IN THE TANK LETTING GO AND RUINING ALL THE PAINT WORK!
