I was in rare form that afternoon/evening out at Canterbury Park. It was Grand Nationals and everyone I was supposed to cruise up with totally flaked out on me. In the end I made the trip alone and bumped in to all sorts of folks from HEAVY crew to the Bluecat gang. Had a great time, got a bunch of bury pics, bruised my ribs by taking a photo while walking straight into a steel fence post. Also took a leak near the horse stalls n the way out to mark my territory.
Last seasons CHOPOUT 2010 unseen footage of Super-Bry in a hardware store parking lot remounting his rear fender. A little smooth talking at the parts counter led to borrowing a few tools free of charge. Some dude eventually strolled up and gave his kid a roadside lesson in good karma. Many thanks to that fella for rolling around on the ground and lending a helping hand to a stranger.
Holy shit – There I am! I was just cruising the chop sites and noticed that my xs650 videos made it onto Grail’s KnuckleBusterinc.com. Very cool. I’m pretty sure Grail is out of New England and his chopper blog definitely carries that flare. Check him out, lots of lathe tips and other great stuff.
Midwest Shops & Garages Series. A new little feature we’re rolling out this winter. The idea is real simple. If you’re from the Midwest (or anywhere cold for that matter) you know that when the snow falls, the cycles, projects, shops, garages and hide outs are the place to be. We’re gonna visit some friends, check out their digs, and see what projects are in the mix.
No where to go and nothing to do but tear it down and put it back together. The first garage in the series will be coming up soon so be sure to check back.
Was out on the East Coast for a while again. Swung by a few spots I haven’t visited in more than 7 years. Caught up with some old friends and officially lost touch with others. I guess you really do win some and lose some. Found this pic today and reminded me of Wilford and his boys back in DE. Wilford and his two sons ran a little bike shop from a padlocked garage behind the old train station. Good guys. Good work. Cash only.
