No pressure


It's always fun to be the last one to get your bike started.  Accelerator pump on my S&S was acting a bit wacky.

Can you tell I ran out of argon?






Shitty weather, creating even shittier images.

My new ad campaign


I'm really into those mall stores that carry only inspirational posters.  Here's my version.  
If you think I'm serious, you deserve a wake-up slap.

Ralph's diner


What could I possibly write about this place that would do it justice?  Nothing, that's the smarter route.  My local watering hole since 1990.  Google it and be taught.

R.I.P. Ralph Moberly, you will be missed.

Swap time awesomeness




Arranged a swap with Shawn aka "Imperialhouse1971" on the Jockey Journal.  Made some shorter moto style handlebars for his Triumph in trade for a custom striped Biltwell helmet.  Can't wait to put this lid on my enormous head.  Update, the helmet fits like a glove... a glove for my head.  Check out pics of Shawn's work on his myspace page www.myspace.com/imperialhouse1971

The Wizard



Steve made it to wizard status, drinking his height in beer and taping them into his wizard staff.  No wonder at 5'10" he has to wear XL shirts.  Abracadabra!

Gypsy Run 2008




Well, our crew was only able to make the first leg of the run this year.  We rode with no-one but ourselves because of showing up at the departure point about 5 minutes late.  A slipping clutch on Evan's bike prevented us from playing catch-up, but we ended up running into the majority of the MA crew as the chase truck sat waiting for a new caliper/rotor.  We spent the rest of the first day hunting down clutch plates for a cm400e, which we found about 10 miles from the first campsite in Phonecia, NY.  We barely spoke to anyone the first night, I was so smoked from the days hunting/riding that I wouldn't have been much of a conversationalist.  I regret not being able to ride with the whole crew, but it'll happen next time.  It was good to meet Josh, Bob, Paul, Ron, Jay, Todd, Joel, and a few others I'm spacing on right now.
