XS650 motor

I've had this motor sitting on the bench for quite some time now. I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go with it. I finally landed on building a little Japanese reliable hard tail.

I ran into a few hidden gremlins along the way, but over all not as bad as i thought I was going to find.

The bottom end is all in spec. It will get a full re-built top end, and a brand new electrics and covers. Basically a trouble free motor....

hurt feelings

Somebody's feelings got hurt on an internet forum?

My bad, guess I'm a little harsh when I share sometimes

Retro moto

Seems this is a promo for a pitch to NBC about a show on Vintage bikes. A little vanilla and the language is a little corny, but overall seems like a solid idea. If it does end up getting picked up, it will more than likely end up on some obscure specialty channel...

Road trip

Looks like a bunch of us are going to check out this show in Portland. Looks cool. Our friend said it was a great time last time he went.

Plus I haven't been to Portland so I'm stoked.

One Percenters

1%ers-Then

You can thank unwashed over educated University students for the change in that definition.

Whaaaattttt!!!

These are the shit. 8 different poses. I'm getting a bag. Yes a bag!!!

Cheap too.

Get 'em here

Pirate Treasure

Or in this case Booties.

See what I did there. Anyway, feeling these little bastards from Dayton. You can get all the info and the price by clicking here.

In the last 5 years so much of my money went to parts and partying that the old lady finally had to tell me to buy some new gear, just so I could have something to wear that didn't have grease, gas or paint on it. These bastards will be on the list next....

One season Over....

Another begins.....I'm not generally a fan of Snowboard culture or snowboarders for that matter. Me and those guys never really got along to well. Oh well fuck it I'm not going to let that keep me from hitting some lines.

The season here is open mad early this year. El Nina is in effect again this winter and we couldn't be more stoked about it. If all goes right, My first day up will be this Monday.

Stoked!

Rumours aside....

Growing up skating in the 80s, the Powell team was the shit. The graphics alone murdered most companies out at the time, most not all. And the videos were by far the best. I'd say right up until Ban This. So the constant rumours of a Doc on this period with the key players made by Stacey was something to be stoked on, to get full on set photo confirmation was more than enough to settle my doubts.

And maybe just maybe after all these years they finally found Chin....

Last of the summer

A few left over from the summer...

I'm Back

Been away for quite a bit. Life changing shit. Had to lay low, re-work/re-group. I'm back and the direction and content will broaden a little going forward. Not just moto anymore. All sorts of other inspirational type stuff

Just like above.

Jim Philips was one of my art heroes growing up, this mash up is fucking sick.

Click the link and check the boards....>>>>click this

Yankee Doodle >>> Dandy

American Iron out in force on the coast.....

DD >>> BB

The proper way to start the night of a dirty weekend...The flash was off and this was before I started drinking but shortly after I was able to get my bike running again...

Good times had by all the night before on the beach...Road stories and wobbly pops....

Shirts came out pretty nice.....

You can use both of these items for the exact same thing. I guess that why they were both in the bathroom

This car was giving me the sexy eyes all weekend....

The morning after the show....hap-hazard parking at its finest...

Sneak >>> Peak

Threw this together, kinda last minute....fack it.

Trike >>> Not Quite

I'm all for keeping people riding as long as possible. Who doesn't love the feeling of being on your bike. But maybe your fat ass could get a smaller bike instead of buying training wheels for your geezer glide. Also the guy narrating this video is so fucking funny. If your product is a little hokey, you'd think that you might wanna get a guy that doesn't sound like a complete fake jack ass to sell the thing...just saying

Mad Max >>> Super Bike

On Craigslist right now....the greatest pre-sport bike super bike....If I was in the market for a bike. This would be it......

Art >>> Vandalism

Way back before I was another asshole building bikes, I was just another asshole painting on other peoples shit....Same shit, different pile?

Disaster >>> DAZE

This will be my fifth time going. I can't remember for sure, I'm old and my memory is slightly pickled. I do however remember the first time. I was riding a shit piece KZ400. Although now by some standards it would be cool, then it was just a piece of shit jap that smoked alot. We parked around the corner. It was a pretty awe inspiring sight. Who knew this stuck up city had this much shit to offer up. I liked it on Main Street.

I usually don't hang around too long. I wanna go ride after seeing all the bikes. Last year I bounced an hour into it. It's not my fault, I love the coast and I can see bikes and my friends on the Mainland anytime. I can also spend a night in the bar there too. Fuck that shit. I wanted to go to a secluded beach with some friends, drink some beer and hang out in paradise. This year I hope I'll be able to keep roots at the actual show....I fucking doubt it man
