HOT SUNDAY POST–BIKES, FASTENERS, LAWS AND GIRLS–HANG ON Worked on a friend’s dresser all day yesterday. A drunk ran him off Ortega Highway.

SUNDAY POST MELLOW–WARM THE BARBECUE AND CHECK IT OUT Sunday Post 8/1/04 Check this out. I made the Dallas display bike Old School alumni.

SUNDAY POST SUMMER–CALENDARS, SHOWS, STRUGIS AND BABES Photo by RFR Hey, it’s a wonderful fuckin’ day. The weather is perfect for barbecues. We’re not being bombed, and the women are beautiful.

MONSTER GARAGE SUNDAY, GIRLS ARE TAKING OVER, DAVID MANN NEEDS US, KEITH’S HIGHSPEED CODE AND BILLY LANE It’s the day before the I go to work for Monster Garage. I need to get some sleep. Jesse said in MM3 that he quit drinkin’. I drank enough for both of us last night, then this morning
SUNDAY DAD’S DAY, A TRIBUTE, BALTIMORE SURVELLIANCE, H-D FLAME JOBS, PROJECT BIKES AND WAR TALES Happy Father’s Day goddamnit. If you’re a father, stick with it.

SUNDAY MARGARITAS POST–GIRLS, SKATEBOARD HELMET LAWS COMIN’, NEW HANDLEBARS AND PAINT JOBS AND SEX Bikernet photog RFR with the women he loves to capture. I’m a blithering nut case this morning. Too many margaritas last night and not enought sex. Here’s a strange code I came up with one lonely night in the Wilmington ghetto.
SUNDAY POST BLUES–FREEDOM LOST, BUT HOT BABES TO KEEP OUR NIGHTS WARM I’m buried in blown-in insulation as we cut the walls of the shop for the balcony. Just when we had the garage somewhat set, we tore it to shreds. We finally gave up the cleaning process in the afternoon, showered and headed out
MEMORIAL DAY SUNDAY POST–RUNNIN’ TO THE NEXT BARBEQUE It’s the Sunday before Memorial Day. There’s a reclusive code in LA: Stay off the freeways on holidays. It’s wild, half of the 13 million population of LA county are on the road all weekend and the other half is loading up at Home Depot for a

SUNDAY POST LATE–VIRUS ATTACK, CHINA FLU AND HANGOVERS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED Hey, just when I think the Headquarters projects are manageable I’m hit with a half dozen more. I’m sure you can dig it, if you have ever bought a fixer-upper or your girlfriend started riding, and you now have two bikes to build or
SUNDAY POST MADNESS–NEW GANG LAW, TEXAS HARRASSMENT AND NEW FRAMES I’m still shaking from last night. I took my mom out for Dinner and a walked through downtown Long Beach’s art walk. I tripped on the buildings, art deco architecture and the House of Hayden Bar. Got my juices flowing regarding the Cantina and the
SUNDAY POST CELEBRATION–IT’S MOTORCYCLE MONTH ACROSS THE COUNTRY It’s a warm Summer like Sunday and the road is calling. The other night Spring clammored in the air. The Cantina partied with six woman and three guys out front while I hid out in the shop with the woman of my dreams. We listened to the
SUNDAY POST–LAUGHLIN SURVIVES, KEN MILLER PROJECT, BILL FURR HURT AND UPS TERRORISTS Helluva weekend. Non-stop, we hauled ass to Laughlin on Thursday at 5:30 in the morning escaping the city. We ducked most of the traffic, some mist but not the wind. I leaned the King over as we entered the desert and cut a
SUNDAY SUNNY POST–THE LAUGHLIN FEVER GROWS My new anti-stress mouse from S&C Wish I knew where to start. We fired the Amazing Shrunken FXR yesterday. It’s a bad-ass little hot rod. It sparked right to life, 88-inches of street fighter. I’ll try to run a report on my wiring job next week. Giggie from Compu-Fire
SUNDAY POST EASTER REPORT–IT’S GRIZZLY It’s Easter and the sun’s glistening off the harbor. We should ride. Here’s the report on the headquarters. New high-tech florescents were installed, mirror installed in the gym and I popped for a Muffler Masters 3-inch tube bender which I’ll roll into the shop tomorrow. Tomorrow the electrician installs three
SUNDAY POST–ARIZONA RAIN, NUDITY WRONG, RED LIGHT LAWS AND NEW BELT DRIVE I wasn’t expected to roll in until this afternoon. I hit it for Arizona on a 2004 Victory Kingpin and started dodging rain within the first 50 miles, a bad omen. I hooked up with the rest of the group in Yucca Valley
SUNDAY POST ROCKS–NEW PARTS, OLD SCHOOL, H-D COLLEGE AND COP CAMERAS ON EVERY CORNER My to-do list just broke all records.

SUNDAY MADNESS, PACING THE DECKS, NEW FRAMES, HELMET REPEAL AND A DOG DOWN Strange times at the headquarters. We’ve been packed and ready to rock for (it seems) weeks. We’re at the far end of three escrows and the first one was held up last week due to incompetence. We were stuck dragging our feet
CRAZED SUNDAY POST–DAYTONA REPORTS, BAD JOKES AND NEW FRAMES Life is nuts, but goddamnit it’s spine tingling. Never a dull moment, is one of my creeds. There’s too much shit going on to mention.
