BLACK SHOVEL

Since I couldn't make it to the Hippy Killer or anything else for that matter, so the best I could do is go to Walmart and pick up the latest Horse BSC magazine *SAD*

Check out the May issue and a sweeeet shovel. You can also check out the Jockey Journal.

Here's a preview.

APRIL HAPPENINGS IN WINCHESTER

ONCE AGAIN IT'S TIME TO RIDE OUT TO WINCHESTER AND ENJOY A HOEDOWN. IT'S A NICE RIDE OUT ONCE YOU GET OUR OF THE CITY. THE BEER IS CHEAP AND THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE TO KICK BACK AND SPEND THE DAY. NOT TO MENTION THE BIKES AND CARS THAT ATTEND ARE FIRST CLASS. THIS YEAR COLE FOSTER IS ATTENDING , HOPEFULLY BRINGING DOWN SOME OF HIS WORK - CLEAN.

PARTY DOWN ---- NOW !

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN CALL OFF DUTY/BACK OPS

Great pics Rick!

No helmet, no boots, no gloves, no green or red sticker, no PlayStation, NO PROBLEM!

This was our Playstation. Kids could be kids and experience how to be one with their machine. Is it a wonder why many of us who enjoyed these simple pleasures still ride.

BIKERS ARE CREATIVE

In a world where people are too self conscious and worry about what everyone thinks, or if they got the right look, blah, blah, blah. It's refreshing to see some people don't really give a crap about all that and do what ever it takes to have a little fun. Check out this add I ran across today on Craig's List, in no less the motorcycle for sale section. Don't know if the add is real but, since I myself have felt this way, I can relate to how this chap feels. What a great story this would make if you have the resources to help out.

JUNE WILL BE HERE IN NO TIME

Last year rode out to the race to check out some vintage iron and enjoy the sounds of Smile Face Down, hosted by none other that the master of good times - Meatball. You've got to check this out. If you have a dirtbike sitting in the corner of your garage that you haven't started in 20 years, now's your excuse the clean out the carb and fire-it-up. If it won't fire, be a spectator and support this event. Guaranteed to keep you bustin' up all day long.

()()()()BIG TIME RAIN()()()()

One good thing about the rain. Sort through some old pictures clogging up your SD card.


Back in the 70's these were the shit. There's nothing so memorable than exhaust tone and smell coming out of these.



Equally as cool back then was a Kawi Tripple. You better have a set of plugs if your going to ride this around all day.

HD Sprint. Now i know where Honda got the idea for this type of engine.

Last summer got a chance to visit the paddock thanks to the Ulrich racing team. YEA - Monster. This bike had just taken a spill. No injuries, just a few scrathes.

This is just cool. Sight glass to watch them moving parts. Hmmmmm. This gives me and idea.

Look very closely at this picture. Someone takes their gas out when their not riding..

MARCH RIDE

COME ON DOWN AND JOIN THE FUN. MEET SOME INTERESTING PEOPLE WHO TRULY ENJOY MOTORCYCLES.

PERFECT VALENTINE

PICTURE PERFECT

Neighborhood cool spot, picture perfect back drop. Drop us a line if you'd like to know where.

====WHERE AM i ???====

Zoey the Wonder Dog takes over, decides to do some renovations around the Garage. One thing leads to another and suddenly your working 24 hours of overtime, no time for life again.

So last time out we went to the Dice Party in Duarte. A bit of a disappointment I must say. The parking lot was so dark you couldn't see shit. The turn out was not as good but, as they say, it's not quantity it's the quality. Nice bikes, lots of classy wheels. One thing for sure, I can now confirm that the 3 Corman's SUCK! Hey, my ears have many years of experience and when it comes to music I can be pretty objective and tolerant of a few bad notes and off key screamo but, after a while it's just not funny. Purposely causing feedback with your guitar just gets annoying. Too bad though because the Dick Dale type sounds are cool at times but, that's my take and I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way.

----HERE'S SOME IDEAS FOR THE WEEKEND----

DECISIONS...DECISIONS...DECISIONS...DECISIONS...DECISIONS...DECISIONS...DECISIONS

Sneak peak of the bike that is going to be at both events this weekend. Yes, it is for sale. Get a chance to speak to the builder/owner. Stuff this nice and new does not last. JUMP ON IT!

JANUARY HALF GONE-BCM R.I.P

After doing some searching around, found out that one of my favorite bLOGS is no more. Not sure what happened but it sounds like the Evil Doers had a hand in it. BCM R.I.P and hope things iron themselves out. It was a good run and I personally enjoyed every post.

====CONSIDER COMING OUT OF HIBERNATION====

When you think of Duarte, motorcycles and debauchery don't really come to mind. So, how do you resolve this? Bring in Dice Magazine of course. That'll do it.

RUN FOR THE ROSES - PASADENA - NEW YEARS EVE

If you ever get a chance to Run With the Roses you should do it. Before the ride you can enjoy a morning full of clean machines. Levi and his crew from Hopper were doing an interview with the owner of this interesting looking Triumph.

Later after the ride ends and Bill has passed out his traditional Rose stickies you can have some NEW YEAR'S cheer at the local pub off of Raymond and Colorado.

All-in-all a great way to kick off your New Years Eve.

MOTORCYCLE MONDAY

As the year comes to an end it's time to reflect on how to make improvements in life to make 2011 a tad bit better.

Here's a good start...

If you want to spread the word on any of your events, or just want to pass the word along, please drop me a note. I'll be more than happy to pass it along to my circle. It's no secret that word of mouth works, especially with the help of the Internet.

December 31 (Thursday) Marks 25 years "Bib's" "Run for the Roses. If you want to see a great collection of bikes, mostly Brrrritsh , that folks are not afraid to run come check-em out. Here's the deal. Meet at breakfast at Burger Continental. 535 S. Lake, Pasadena. Ride leaves at 11am for Angeles Crest returning to Old Town Pasadena (Lucky Baldwin's Pub) for pre-parade festivities and New Year's Eve good cheer. Contact Bib for more info @ 626.791.0259.

Check out his web site for more info. www.socalnorton.com

MERRY CHRISTMAS-MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Why are people so weird about saying "Merry Christmas"?

SWEET Sporty Chop . HI-BOND MODIFIED STYLE

No matter how many times I see these pictures, I still have not seen a bike as clean and perfect as this one.

MOTO MONDAY

Yea it wasn't as glamorous as the MOONEYES shows however, the turn out was great and the picture that was taken came out real nice. This time the picture was taken in COLOR, which in my opinion, is less artistic but more realistic. You see bikers can be patient and orderly. It took about 90 minutes to get everyone onto the sand and positioned.

Getting the bikes on and off the sand was a bitch. Add a mean hangover and you have the perfect makings for a RALPH fest. My bud Tony rode my bike to the hotel as I staggered my way back...and he got up early enough to ride the bike down to the beach as I stayed behind and made promises to the porcelain Gods never to drink again. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO ATTENDED THE PISMO BEACH MOTORCYCLE CLASSIC

----------D. MANN CHOPPERFEST PHOTOS----------CARE OF RM

Naturally I failed to make both the Chopperfest and Mooneyes show. Luckily Mild Mannered Rick made it to the Chopperfest show. It was a real nice December day, temps in the 70's-80's.

Looks like there was a good turn out of some nice machines, with of course some of the biker drama associated with the "biker mentality". (this is where I feel like saying, "can't we just all get along")

There are some other real cool blogs that have more pictures of these two shows, so get that mouse a-clickin. Better yet, RIDE OUT TO THE SHOWS and send me the pictures so I can give you the full credit you deserve.
