W's





I've been looking for a re-pop W650 for some time but haven't managed to come across one yet that has been anywhere a reasonable price....Fuck.

Local boys made good




We ended up going to the 30th HA swap this sunday. there were a few things to be had, but nothing too great. We saw these 3 bikes when were leaving. I'd say Jasin and Max have a far reaching inspiration.....

The man, the myth.....

This is a story of Tallboy Mark. While the rest of us chop up perfectly good motorcycles, Marks ideal bike is a stock 70's/early 80's jap bike. He gets a bit of flack for it but he doesn't mind. What most people don't know is that Mark rides all year round. He'll show up somewhere and it'll be cold as shit, and raining. Mark does not care. He'd rather be riding than not. People freak out that when he shows up on his bike in December. Keep in mind we live in Canada, and in December it's cold and there is snow on the ground.
Mark is a true bike rider and the only thing that out shines his love for motorcycles is his love for beer. The man can drink.



Marks weapon of choice.....

Low and long can't be all wrong







I'm in love with Triples....








Anyone who knows me well, knows well enough that I have an affinity for Kawi's. And due to this I want a Triple. I had a chance to buy one last year at the swap and it fell through somehow......I'm still bummed about it.

Of course why wouldn't we be?




















This is invariably the response week in and week out to the question...Are we heading to the 'Wack this weekend? 
Now when we mention the 'Wack, we mean Chilliwack, British Columbia. Not the classic rock group of the same name, although Tallboy told me they named themselves that because they came from there. That's not the point though....



The point is there is basically no fucking reason to go to the 'Wack unless you want corn, or live in Hope and if that's the case Chilliwack is like the city to you. We only go out to see Ken, who is an old school genius who welds everything and anything we can throw at him.



Getting out there usually involves a sketchy cube van, an hour at least on the road sitting on lawn chairs in the back of the van and 1 or more bikes tied down if we are lucky enough to remember to bring the straps.


Why bother telling you all this? Simple if you live in BC and need something, go see Ken. He makes one off frames for new Bonnies, sells all kinds of cool bikes, and is a good guy just to drop in and shoot the shit with and see what he is working on. Plus he helped us out large.

The thing has to have some kind of soul....








Want to see some puppies.....






So the other day we dropped of some tins at Myk Rok's place to get some paint thrown on 'em. Outside he had a 70's factory custom van. This led Lovestory to proclaim his love for vans and announce that we need a van.....Here's to you brother.
