Hey, I need to rock. We are going to ride to Johnny Rockets in Manhattan Beach for lunch. I missed Sugar Bear’s 75th Party yesterday wading in concrete. But I’ll get over to see him when the party dust settles. He’s moving north and I need to make him a cool house warming present. I […]
POURING CONCRETE SUNDAY POST FOR September 21, 2014 Read More »
Hey, I’m still a blur from two days of driving to return home, help a brother move, clean the shop, do laundry. Hell, leaving always puts me behind the curve, so it’s a scramble. But during the process, I’m thinking about all the parties, the Badlands rides, the entire event was non-stop. For the first
STURGIS BLUES SUNDAY POST FOR August 10, 2014 Read More »
Hey, I went to a Barbecue with my Long Beach girl last night. She asked a myriad of questions about my sordid past and then Sturgis surface and she started asking questions about the run to the Badlands, like, “Are you ready?” I thought about one of the first rules in Buddhism about change. Everything

Hey, This is a strange mix of news items. Fortunately there’s a handful of fun items. Sometimes the politics seems too overwhelming. Here’s something I asked myself the other day. When you’re pissed off about anything, or if you’re faced with unwanted decisions, form it or them as a challenge (meaning: dare, confront, or dispute).

Hey, This Sunday Post is a kick. It’s just fun and thought provoking. Shit, I need to hurry. I’m stripping a massive brass porthole for the front of the building. Kyle and I grappled with tools, the bead blaster, sanders, you name it. The best tool turned out to be a series of Scotch Bright
PRE-BUB BONNEVILLE Sunday POST FOR AUGUST 18, 2013 Read More »
Hey, Got an early start this morning. I’ll scramble, try to wrap the Post and grab a few Sunday hours for a ride, or who knows. Bonneville is breathing on us hard, then the Boot Ride, 110th Anniversary event and Las Vegas Bike Fest. I fired the 1928 Shovelhead yesterday, and Richard fired up the

Hey, Is life nuts or what? Sturgis is happening in a big way. Klocks had their party. Rogue got food poison and was held up, but he’s there now and attending all the action. Not bad for 72 years old. Indian served up their new models to the delight of the media. For the first

Hey, Life is nuts. I rarely get sick or have problems with my teeth. I was hit twice this month, and I feel like I’m burning daylight. The projects don’t go away because you’re down with the mung. In fact a brother just reminded me to write a Cantina Soap episode, and I’ve got a

Hey, Life is nuts. I was almost caught up on content, when I attempted to write the feature for the Twisted Ultimate Builder Editor’s Choice Winner from the Long Beach show, and couldn’t find a phone number, so I kicked back. What the hell, I was about to turn 65 and pondered taking a break.

Sorry this is such a short Sunday Post. Bandit was having connectivity issues while at Bonneville, so no emails from him. What it means, however, is we’ll post a huge Thursday News. I haven’t heard from the guys today, so I’m not sure how things are going at the BUB meet. They did
STURGIS RECAP – BONNEVILLE SALT FLAT – SUNDAY POST FOR AUGUST 26, 2012 Read More »
Hey, I’m on the edge of my seat by trying to remain calm. Today is the 12th and we have until the 24th to arrive in Bonneville. Wired my bike this weekend, and unwrapped the super-fine stainless exhaust from D&D. I can’t plumb my bike until I have the engine. I can’t make the exhaust

Hey, The Hamsters rolled into the Badlands yesterday, along with riders from all over the country and the world. The rally is officially underway. Hell, I posted an AFT bike feature yesterday. That bike and the AFT girls are on their way to Sturgis, and if you’re rolling into town, don’t miss a chance to
