Why can't you see the big picture.

I used to go to punk shows by myself a lot. I met a bunch of kids that lived in South Central LA and we became good pals. They hipped me to a lot of neat music. We would go to sketchy warehouse shows, skate in abandoned lots, eat thai food at three in the morning. One night my pal gave me a tape that said Big Boys - Fat Elvis on it. I put it in the cassette deck for the late ride home that night and I was hooked. That tape was on constant rotation for years. I found that tape in a drawer today.

This band always cheers me up when I am in a shitty mood. If you have never heard them they are sort of all over the place but for some odd reason it's cohesive. They have songs that are just silly, totally negative, and completely realistic. Songs for all occassions. This song pretty much sums up how a felt today. START YOUR OWN BAND BLOG

so rad...

The B-52's - Dance This Mess Around 

here ya go Kim.

bummer....

My pal Mark cruised by today for a heavy bro-sesh...

We played chopper dress up with our bikes...

Buzzed the canyon to get Cokes at Cooks...

After we split, I get a call when I get home...As he was pulling away from a pump at the gas station his clutch cable broke mid-rev, launching him into a little wall he was turning away from. He's fine, but that newly installed narrowglide is dust.

Bad end to a good day.

6-over...

I never realized how much I hated myself till now.
The rest of the movie should be pretty cool though.

fresh meat..

Eric dropped his Panshovel off the other day to get some goodies...
This ought to be fun.

sketchy.

Probably sounds stupid but one thing thats never really crossed my mind is what happens to a magneto bike when the back tire seizes....lights out!!

 Me and Justin found that out last night when his newly painted fender rattled a couple bolts loose and jammed up in between the swingarm and tire causing a 60mph skid. He aimed for the shoulder but stopped 2 lanes in with no lights in a dark section of freeway and a few hundred pounds of Ironhead not going anywhere. Even at 2am freeways in Southern California are super active and as soon as I came to a stop I sprinted back in a panic cause all I could see was the black silhouette of him out there like a sitting duck. Luckily we got it off the road just as a wave of cars was about to hit......close call.

pegs...

ok

heavily bro'd...

Just got this little package in the mail from my pal Otto Von Blotto over at Biltwell. Been wanting to run their Whiskey throttle ever since I tried Eddies and that pipe kit is sure gonna come in handy. Check them out, they got a little something for everybody.

trip out...

gnarly.

I kept catching myself leaning into the computer like it was sucking me in.

Swap Find - The Devil's Angels

Swaps for me have been a bit a bust for me lately. I am usually broke, can't find anything I need, or just too dumb to know a good deal when it's slapping me in the face. I am a pretty big movie buff especially biker flicks so when I came across this yesterday I was blown away. It pretty much encompasses most of my interests, bikes, poster, music, and movies. My band Thee Cormans is based around Roger Corman biker and monster movies. So finding this 6 and half foot tall poster stoked me out! If you have never seen this movie its on Netflix. Most of the bikes in it are pretty bitchin, good music, babes, and violence!

Hail Santa...

Just did these bars for my buddy Gareth aka Gary aka Gator aka @dirtsqid
His new shovel is almost done and ready to wallride curbs and run into
parked cars...all the shit hes good at.

Most of us into motorcycles these days know what it's like to change up your style.  Nobody did it better than the Beastie Boys. 

good times..
