Love Cycles Anniversary show

Arizona ride anyone? A couple buddies and I decided to make the trek through the desert and make this show. I really dig the bikes coming out of Love Cyles in AZ so I decided to check em out in person. See you there maybe?

LBC motorcycle swapmeet...

Went to the swap meet today with friends Mike and Wompy to sell a few parts i had lying around not expecting much from a bunch of take off parts. i was surprised that all those parts sold fairly quickly and with very little wheelin and dealin. if i would of known that those parts would sell so quick i would have done this a long time ago. now to go dig through my stash of parts to get ready for the next one!

Slab City Riot 3

This was the weekend for SCR3. I had planned and prepared for this event for the past two weeks. Bought a tent borrowed a sleeping bag from my buddy Tim. When I heard that Slab was cancelled a day before the event it didnt make me think twice about going somewhere, anywhere in place of the slabs. I usually don't care about the event itself. I go to these things for the ride with friends and the very good chance that I will probably have a good time. The event was cancelled on a Thursday and I was still hyped for a ride and camping that night. The next day I felt very different about the ride. I felt somewhat odd like something was telling me it wasn't a good idea for me to go. I tried to brush it off and not think about it but the feeling kept creeping up on me. I didnt want to let my friend ride by himself but the feeling I had kept over taking me by the hour. Hesitantly I cancelled on my friend and felt pretty shitty about it. I still don't know what the feeling was but there will always be time to hit the pavement for a camping trip another day. I hate flaking on my buddies but I had to go with my instinct on this one. I hope everyone made it home safe from the event.

Pismo beach classic 2010

Theres nothing like a long trip on a motorcycle with cool guys and just as a cool of a destination. This was the case last year when Mike, Moe, Gil and I went to Pismo beach for the PMC run. The best part was the ride up and down the coast with these guys. I still ride with these guys and its always a good time even though its as long of a trip. If you ever get a chance to ride there do so! I took my camera but was having too much fun to snap anymore pics.

@#$(**$!!!!!!

I've met a lot of good people in a short time of riding bikes. I never had the intention of being any part of something that is the southern california chopper scene. but like anything that turns to a trend there are a lot of people in this "scene" (for lack of a better term) that turn a good thing bad. I am so tired of the "hipsters" in the chopper world...you know the type...name dropping builders or part makers every chance they get...only when they take their lips off the builders and fabricators asses long enough to spew out a few words. they talk about how they cant wait to go on a certain ride and how fun its going to be. When the moment comes to hit the pavement they cough up every excuse in the book to legitimize why they aren't going on the ride or just straight dissapear. When I discovered the wonderful world of bikes and choppers I was happy to find like minded guys who were the complete opposite of a "hipster". they didnt care about image or what you were riding or who your riding with. as long as you were riding they would give you the time of the day. Those are the cool people that make this world of chops what it is. i hope the "hipsters" grow a pair and just be themselves because just about everyone can see through their lame ass. anyway, that is all for my rant. enjoy your day.
