RIDE TO WORK

Not what you may think. Seeing as how I spend a good portion on my life on the freeway it just makes sense to be camera ready. About 95% of the time I'm unable to get the shot simply because it's an "Oh Shit" moment and I miss it. Occasionally I get lucky enough to capture a good one.

Now boys and girls take a close look at that BBQ. That's right, a working portable kitchen strapped to the back of a little Ranger. This picture said one thing to me after I saw who was driving this gem..METH. I gotta hand it to these sorry folks who are addicted to this shit. They are resourceful.

I know, what the heck is that? Look closely, click on the picture and look at the fender whisker.

Many people, including myself, have a fascination with monkeys. I'm also partial to RATS.

Now that's a sign of the times, or an excuse for being CHEAP.

Explain this to you insurance carrier. Judging from the looks of the blue car, this guy has to carry an extra car along with him in case the one he's driving falls apart.

Yes folks, you too can own your very own Ronco gas mitt. Garontteed to save on your gas bill.

PARTY DOWN WITH THE CRETINS

You got to check out these guy's clubhouse. Awesome view of DT L.A. and Mt.Wilson to the north. You drive through a mini tunnel to the upper section of a parking lot and there it is. Perfect place to throw a party. Foods pretty good too, not to mention the $2 beers. PABST BR.

LOOKS LIKE FUN, BUT YOU WILL GET DIRTY

Where the hell is Niland?

DOES EVERYONE GET THESE?

Remember when Email was just starting to take off ? Who would have thought that someday you would be able to receive such wonderful content.

Your probably asking, what does this have to do with motorcycles ??

WELL, BACK IN APRIL....

My organizational skills rival those of a third grader. What can I say, at least when I do find the pictures I will post them for your viewing pleasure.

This year has flown by. My daughter took these back in April in Laughlin. The place was deserted! It was great to see those who are surviving these times. It was also sad (not really) to see these wide tire abortions going for peanuts.

Thanks Dave Perewitz for taking the time to stop and chat with Mitch and I.

SAY IT ISN'T SO

COULD THIS BE HEREDITARY??

What's this about? As a baby she hated the sound of bikes, used to run away as soon as we put the keys in our hands. NOW it's tattoos and OHV's !

I'm getting old.

SWISS CHEESE

AND NOW FOR YOUE VIEWING PLEASURE

ANOTHER VICTUM OF THIS MESSED UP ECONOMY

http://www.buell.com/en_us/company/


This is really sad news and should also be a wake-up call for all of us. As the stock market reached 10,000 on Thursday Erik Buell announced that the Buell Motorcycle will no longer be produced.


The mainstream media keeps telling us that the economy has rebounded and we're heading out of the recession. Really, with signs like these it should be easy to tell we are being fed a bunch of crap. I'm not a economist, but I do know that you can't spend money that you don't have without having to pay it back someday. The dollar keeps losing value against all other currencies and people a snatching up GOLD.

All the signs are there, connect the dots.




I think it's time for a long ride.

Here's your chance to show off your go-cart skills.

After many years I got a chance to shoot the S_ _ T with a buddy from work. He's an up and coming promoter for those 4 wheel sidewalk scrapers. Check out his latest gig in Orange on Wednesday. With a name like Giovanni Silva what else do you expect someone to do?

THIS WEEKEND

FOR ALL OF THE I LOVE LUCY FANS

UH OH, AS I WAS SAYING -NO LOVE-

Wow, here's the latest from OS. Poor guy. Can you say lawsuit? After 25 years of service to his community this is the thanks he gets. Now who do you think is causing all of the uproar? Remember the couple on the bagger?

Picture of me and Alissa on the Sportster.

To all fellow Love Riders, Volunteers and valued Supporters:

It appears there may have been a misunderstanding about the information that was sent out yesterday regarding the Love Ride being forced to cancel this year.

First of all, the activities going on at Glendale Harley-Davidson during the Love Ride weekend are in support of the Love Ride Foundation. All proceeds generated from the sale of previous and current year's Love Ride merchandise is all going to benefit the charity. The Love Ride Foundation is a IRS 501c3 recognized non profit charity. All donations made to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Secondly, we are willing to give refunds to those of you who have already been generous enough to pre-register for the event. We understand that times are hard for everyone and that many of you would rather get your money back than make a donation for an event that you will not be able to participate in.

We were simply asking that you consider maintaining all or part of the money you had contributed in order to assist the Love Ride Foundation in covering the obligations it has incurred thus far in preparing for this event. This is why we offered Love Ride 26 souvenir pin, patch and t-shirt in exchange for the donation as a token of our appreciation for your continued support.

If you would like a refund or have any questions please contact us at (818) 246-5618 ext. 141.

We are all very saddened by this turn of events but the Love Ride spirit is still very much alive in all of us and we very much look forward to returning when times are better for everyone.

Thank you for your support. God Bless.

NO LOVE?

The other day while I was trying to focus my eyes after a 12 hour shift, an email came in pretty much saying that one of the biggest 1 day bike fund raisers is no more? Can't say I'm really surprised. The first few years of the Love Ride were real cool, but as time went on and the fat tire crowd became more prevalent, it became a yup fest. Damn these people ruin everything!

O.K. maybe I'm being too harsh. There are probably many other factors, including the not so great economy. Anyway, things change and sometimes for the better. One thing though, motorcycling means different things to different people and I guess it's all good, but sometimes I wonder.

EXAMPLE == Last spring as my daughter and I were riding around in Laughlin. I lost my shifter (that's another story) as I was making a left hand turn. Now typically a normal human on two wheels would have stopped and lent a hand. Not this idiot. He got all pissed of at me because I (along with 40 other riders) pulled a left turn at the same time he was making a right. I guess he got scared. I could see if I hadn't made eye contact with him, or if we were both in our cages..Anyway this guy and his wife were all decked out in brand new chaps, leather jackets, gloves, HD booties, matching his-hers helmets, microphone in the helmet, the whole nine-yards and of course the brand new bagger with all the latest Screaming Chicken stuff. Crap, it was 100 degrees! So after we picked up the shifter and stuck it back on, we just happen to pull up along side of you know who. I really couldn't hear what he was saying at first, but then my daughter with the better hearing said he was pissed. Shoot I though he was making fun of my mechanical skills! Pissed at what!! I gestured that he should stop crying and ride. The light changed, we took of and all was well again.

I guess what I'm trying to say that there are people who take this crap WAY TOO SERIOUS.

Have I made my point?

ENJOY THE ART.
