Good Ol’ Reed Goodman let me in on this little gem.

Clubman’s All-British Motorcycle Show

img_0009
Last weekend I went down to San Jose for a huge motorcycle show. I’m gonna let the photos tell this story. It was a great day. I couldn’t get anyone to ride down with me so I went down solo and it ended up working out perfectly. I was able to really take my time nerding out and photographing bikes without bumming out everyone with me. It goes without saying, but there was some beautiful bikes. Peep um. Which one is your favorite?

Oakland Release Party & Ride

I went over to Oakland with Mikey, Kelly and Darin. Here is the three of them doing a quick fix on the Bay Bridge to Kelly’s bike.

This was the scene outside of Merchants bar in Oakland around 9pm Friday night. It was a Dice Magazine release party. People (and bikes) came out of the woodwork.

dicemag31
Issue 31.

The next morning we met up at the shop before we headed back to Oakland to meet up with Max to do the ride to Port Costa. Four bikes left the shop that morning, but due to major mechanical trouble, only 2 of us made it to Port Costa.

Pork: Surgerized


A few months ago Ol’ Pork ass blew her knee out. We took her to the SF SPCA about a month ago and after a few Xrays we knew she needed surgery. This morning she was taken the the SF Veterinary Specialist. They fixed her…


$5000 later, she got a new knee…


…and a new cone!


Now, I know this looks like I’m just being really mean, but for the next few weeks we need to keep Pork from moving around without help. Until we get a crate, this is what I’ve come up with. It works, but she isn’t into it at all. Pork hates skateboards more than anything.

Randy’s New Whip

Randy had a 75 CB360T and traded it for a nicer 360T plus some cash… but after much consideration, he decided he wasnt gonna be a pussy any more. So, he sold that 2nd 360T, found a 1964 roller rigid Triumph with a 71 TR 650 engine and is gonna finish building it up and graduate to the next class…

He’s planning on running a 21″ front wheel, no front brake, painting the tank some weird color and probably getting more chicks than he already does now… Maybe he’ll let me ride with him.

Ironically I go for the Wings

I had the day off of work today so I took the bike out for a spin. ended up at the pizza place because I love the wings and pbr draft. A perfect little treat. After downing 16 slices of pizza Francis said to me “you know… the pizza isn’t all that good”. Classic Francis. If you’ve never been, go. I love this place.

A Visit with the Skinner

skinner03
Dude is a bad ass.

skinner05
He lives is Sacto and works out of his house that he built with his own hands.

skinner04
The shit that comes out of his head blows me away. I went up to his place to pay him for a Tshirt graphic that he did for Cruz.

skinner01
It seems he draws and paints on everything he owns.

skinner02
He’s an inspiration to me. Just hanging out with him makes me want to draw, paint, or even just build something. He’s so sick.

ACE Trucks

ace_ad_eckler
ACE TRUCKS, are bad ass. And I’ve had the honer of riding for them for the last few years. Joey & Shrewgs arn’t fuckin around. If you haven’t at least tried them yet because you’re married to some other truck… you’re blowing it at life. Trust me on this one.
