A while ago, my Friend Neil and I wrote and recorded a song called
“Double Axle Badass.” I found the file, so here it is. Keep in mind,
the whole thing was created using nothing but an old mac, the free
Audacity sound editor, a microphone, and a Gibson SG guitar. So the
production quality sucks. Sounds better in headphones. Here are the
lyrics:
lots more like it
doubly evil
cuz of how I drive it Five motherfuckers
on my ass
won’t let em by
I’m a double-axle badass Underpowered Honda
tries to make a pass
Run em off the road
I’m a double-axle badass Double Axle
Special license
Just to drive it Sense of manhood
from its mass now
I derive it Satellite TV
Air-conditioned luxury
Bitch-ass dirty hippies
Their dreams they don’t mean much to me Takin’ the next exit
gonna get some gas
fifty-gallon tank now
I’m a double-axle badass [monologue] Silver lady mudflaps
Shiny cheap and crass
Gotta be a man now
I’m a double-axle badass Back out on the highway
Lose this morass
A slave to the American dream
I’m a double-axle badass And I don’t care if I drive slow
I roll at my own pace
I’m bigger than you
Slower and bigger
That’s just how it is
We will all suffer
We will all cope
Engine Is Mounted

The engine is fully mounted. The front mounting struts are adjustable
in length and serve to set the primary-drive chain tension.

Engine Mount

I got the engine mount all brazed up. Very stiff, torsionally and
otherwise. Even without the front mounts in, the gearbox doesn’t move.
Primary Drive

Here are some shots of the transmission and primary drive chain. Those
pieces of angle iron and the clamps are just a temporary structure
while I braze in the actual mounts.

This is a close-up shot of the gearbox mounting tabs and associated
attachment tubes. It’s definitely a tricky bracket.

John practices his brazing in preparation for a frame-building
attempt. Note the functional fit of #3 brazing glasses.

Good music, good angles, and snow.
