BEST KITTEN videos EVER

by Editor on 10/16/24

Well, the title might be a little biased (cause that's our cat) but we have been posting a new video everyday since BUCK has taken over our lives 3 months ago! 

Our goal is to keep posting for a full year to document his growth, antics and shenanigans for us to look back on. Well it turns out other people are interested too, so if you click on the square cat face with the red circle in our social media menu to access the Orange Cat BUCK TikTok page. 

*Make sure you have the volume on cause that's when the magic happens.

It's 100% free, you don't have to have an account, log in or sign up, just click on the video. 

Warning: 
These videos are highly addictive & you may experience the following side effects: 
  • Hysterical laughter
  • Gasping in disbelief
  • Laughing so hard you snort
  • Flood of emotions
  • Sudden urge to go out and get yourself an ORANGE DEMON!

by Editor on 10/05/24

I was gifted a second Screamin' Eagle medallion but the paint on it was in rough shape but after removing it the beautiful chrome was reviled! My original plan was to paint the two tone blue to match the bike BUT who in their right mind would paint over chrome?
Not this guy!!

NEW VIDEO: Part 2
After having his 37th surgery from a motorcycle accident Ned Dixon sent me a message that he missed the wind in his face on his 2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD & asked if I'd shoot a POV video for him.
This video is raw footage, just the sound of a motorcycle and the wind in your face, so sit in front of a fan, turn it to the maximum setting and push play! (Remember to select 720P for best resolution)
All the very best to you Sir on a speedy recovery!
