Lifted this from No Future Tokyo...

Bad ass!

Something non-bike related...

Took this the other day.. My Labrador Rosco and I sharing an early morning hike...

Pipes...

Exhaust tips for the Beemer. Tires should arrive today. The build up is building up!

Ordered up my tires for the Junketer! She'll be rolling soon!

Thanksgiving Thick Chick Thursday...

Sorry guys, I know I missed TCT yesterday. Thanksgiving preempted the post. So for the day after Thanksgiving, I give you a very special Thicky!

NOW you're talkin'!

History

No Mas Presents: Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden

Jung, Frisch, Dynamisch

I know I'm too old for this shit, BUT these are BITCHIN!

I might have to get one for my son...You can get 'em here!

Combining the Passions...a work in progress.

 I hate to keep harping on my age, but maybe that's what a mid life crisis is. After years of chasing my career, feathering the nest, providing for my family, and basically being a responsible member of society, I've decided to pursue MOST of my interests un-apologetically. To that end, I started painting again after a decade of fucking around. Clearly there is rust that needs to be polished, but at least the effort is made.

Thick Chick Thursday!! .....down under.

Fate!

OK, I've bored all of you with my aspirations of building the perfect dual sport/world touring motorcycle that not only is dependable and reliable but also has some soul. I'm building this bike because I have a dream of one day making the great disappearance. Sadly, like most dreams, it probably won't come true but it's fun fantasizing about it while drinking beer and turning bolts in my garage. Regardless...Today I found an event, Scram Africa, going down next year, that is SO in line with the bike I'm building, I have to attribute it to fate. God has spoken, get to work!

Hmm, I didn't have Liberace pegged as a beer guy..

Frame, sub frame, and luggage rack back from the powder coater!

Thanks to the best powder-coater in So Cal, Top Quality Powder Coating!

Thick Chick Thursday!!

Slab City Riot/Operation Illusive Unicorn

So now the whole world knows the story. The over reaction of the BLM and the Imperial County Sheriff leading to the cancellation of the Slab City Riot, ONE day before the event!!! And the heroic efforts of Bill, McGoo, Mike D, and the rest of the Biltwell staff to offer a PLAN B to the great unwashed throngs (myself included) who selfishly  look to these guys for annual life changing events. Once again, they delivered! Operation Illusive Unicorn was a complete blast! My head STILL hurts!

The ride through the mountains got a little chili...

Shawn for Canada blows a tire and get too much help..

Big Oscar in the foreground....Wes watering the vegetation...

Cindy and Fredo...

Beer Booter Terry after the cops let him go.

Great friends and great times!!

Charred meat!

Black Magic VooDoo shit....

Most of us are perplexed by electricity. Wiring up a bike is probably my least favorite activity related to a build. Invariably, no matter how meticulously I work, I will fuck something up. In an attempt to skip a step (the fucking up step) I will be taking the Beemer to simpletown when it comes to wiring. Headlight, tail light, starter, and that's it!! Thanks to Beer Booter terry for the diagram "lite"!

Skinny version...

Yes, it sucks....

That time again...TCT

Swingin' Society and the Slab City Riot

This weekend is the Slab City Riot. I anticipate a pleasant time with 1500 of my closest good-natured friends. We will be viewing cultural films and participating in quaint party games. Horse play and rude behavior will be strictly frowned upon. Although, between you and me, if I have a little too much Champagne, I can get a little randy...
