A Texas Style Trip

On our way back from Born Free last year, we made a number of stops at some long forgotten holes in the wall. This one in particular sticks out. We made a few calls while traveling through Texas. A lot of the bike junkyards had long since closed but one guy gave us a lead on someone. He said “yeah, call Dan… He’s got an old grocery store full of stuff.” Low and behold, He truly did have a grocery store full of parts. We met up with Dan and his buddy Mustang. After they sniffed us out to make sure we weren’t trouble, they let us dig through anything and everything. Jordan scored big. Old pan trans case among some other stuff. I just grabbed whatever looked shinny. The whole time, Dan is sitting out front on a lawn chair pick ticks off his dog. It was surreal. It crazy to remember that we went from standing in the middle of Born Free 3 to a grocery store in Texas full of HD parts in less than 24 hours. There is a second half of this story better left untold for now but… I realized this morning as I glanced at some of the parts I got from Dan, that I never posted any of the pics. Enjoy.

Triumphs and Shotguns

Stayed an extra day on the way back in Kansas to visit with the Germans family. Sure enough, they gave us a shotgun and we rode out to the back 40. Everyone was having a blast. Jordan was a real killing machine. He hates those damn morning doves!

I was a little chopped the hell out when we left Cali but 4 days in a van has a way of making you crazy to want to get out a blast off all over again. I have tons of totally amazing pics to share so stay tuned to the chopper blog.

Found this via Kemosabe and the Lodge this morning. A great little short to celebrate the beauty of recklessness.

Saturday morning cartoons – Mother F*ckin Devlin!

Da – DaDa – Da!
He’s strong and he’s fast but he’s got no mustache.
His chick paints his tank cause she’s an artistic skank.
Yeah – it’s Devlin!


It’s devlin everybody. Remember… 1974. This dude rode around on a rainbow background jumping over like a million trippy Mystery Machines thinking he was some kind of Evil Knevil. Crazy ass Bultaco riding, jump suit wearing mother fucker. If you’re like me, you have at least one pair of 3D glasses sitting around somewhere. Put ’em on and watch this video again.
