chop shop

so i finally did it, switched out the original seat on the bike for a rad west eagle solo seat. after that it was on, chopped up the rear fender and fender struts, moved the signals, etc.. etc.. couldn't have done it without the inspiration matt from the oldepro's bike and his how to mount a solo seat manual - johnny boy gave a seriously helping hand, and nan dropped in with some words of wisdom. yeah, the fellas busted my ass for my crazy impatience, and for having tools all over the place but what can you do, i'm backin it.


looks like a real chop shop with that background

Crazy Colt Part Deux!

Buell motorcycles is no more....

its a sad day for employees and fans of Buell motorcycles as Harley has decided to stop production of the bikes by Oct 30th of this year. It's too bad as Buell offered some cool bikes, and the founder, Erik Buell always appeared passionate about the bikes and motorcycling in general. For me, i have always been a huge fan of the Buell Lightning and would have bought it, if it wasn't for the release of my bike this year. if you want to read more about Harley's decision click here, if not pour one out for the good people at Buell.

now that is a cool looking machine

RIDE snowboards presents SNOWBOARD ART 8!!!!!

Loyal Blog followers may remember me sqeaking out a win for last years Ride snowboards art contest. with that in mind, it's time to celebrate as RIde is presenting the SNOWBOARD ART 8 contest. other than a getting a cool g note, my own board, and world renowned fame and fortune, i also got to design this years art contest flyer (as seen below). so, if you saw my stuff and thought "this guy sucks, i could do better than that" or if you just like design, put down the bong and lets see some cool shit!

Trip to the Museum

Jai and I checked out the Trev Deeley Harley Davidson museum the other day. Funny thing is that despite being based in a Harley Dealer, the museum barely had any Harley’s; with most of the bikes being early English rides: BSA’s, Truimph’s, and Norton’s. Now, I’m not an old bike aficionado, nor do I think old bikes are better than new one’s and all that shit. My thing is I just dig the style and the look of the older bikes; especially the tank design’s and paint jobs. With a project bike looming in the future, our trip to the museum definitely helped with the inspiration.

look at that tank

now that is a cool paintjob


Jai was feeling this norton sidecar. i think it looks good on the boy

look what showed up in the garage

J-man brings it home with a 2008 Nightster, so awesome! within an hour of getting it we changed out the bars, removed the mirrors, switched up the air cleaner, and removed the front fender, hotness! we went for a quick cruise together, seriously the best shit ever!

oh yeah johnny boy, turn on the techno!

awww, like 2 brothers...

Hoon what!

watchin wednesdays with reda today and noticed this aussie chap runnin a Hoon hat, Frank you're blowin up!

good from far, but far from good

Just finished up my ghetto rattle can spray job on my helmet, and i think it came out pretty rad myself. yeah, there is some paint runs and some bumps, but thats due to my lack of patience rather than skill. nevertheless, i dig it

i feel like jackie stewart wearing this thing, so cool

seymour run

took an early morning run up to mount seymour the other day, and despite the cold it was awesome. the bike was running well, and the roads were clear = a good, fast ride. Plus it was great to check out mt seymour prior to the season kicking off. check out the pics for evidence of the day

soon these lifts will run again. oh yes, they will.

didn't notice the holy glow around the bike when i took this shot.

sample sizzale

Put down the bong and hitup the only sample sale that matters; the Faceshots Burton sample sale. Jeff and his crew have boards, boots, bindings, outerwear and accessories to help you meet your shred fix, all at prices that'll make you say "whattttttt!"

backstage backgammon

jimmy page enjoyin a light drink backstage. i love this picture

for the most snow!

mount seymour is having a 60% off seasons pass sale going on right now! i love mount seymour, and hope to get in a ton of days this upcoming season, buy a pass and meet me at the snake run for some good times, holla!

a pic to illustrate the good times that can be had at mount seymour (me and the gents)

new shit

yep, i've been laggin on the blog these days as i really had nothing to talk shit about, until now...

first up, new bars on the bike. biltwell trackers, so awesome my neck is already thanking me

i recently bought a pair of bars from another company that cost me 3 times as much as my biltwell's and they were shit + the vendor refused to refund my money, bunch of bitches. should have gone with biltwell from the start

nan hates em.

and after a short search i tracked down a killer 70's buco full face. i already tore out the lining and trim to get it prepped for paint

stay tuned for the update!

best comment ever!

My boy Doc J drops the best comment ever when he checked out my post on At the drive in

thanks doot!

thank me later

checkout this amazing performance of cosmonaut by one of the best live bands ever, at the drive in. yes, cedric and omar are probably on crack is this video, but who cares, this is ATDI at their best. i remember when relationship of command dropped, it was on repeat in my car for almost 3 months straight. if you don't own it, do yourself a favour and go buy it now, right now. seriously go buy it
believe me, you will thank me later

proddy pick

i used to have a one piece snowsuit when i was a kid. it was awesome, never had snow up my back & i never got cold. Due to that suit i have always had a soft spot for one pieces, the only problem is unless you are 4 years old you look like an idiot in one. until now.... product pick for the upcoming shred season is the burton one piece shred outfit. its a one piece unit, but the fit and look is that of a separate pant and jacket setup. so awesome that i may have to hook it up. good on ya burton

nico mueller rocking the one piece, i told ya it was slick

little project

jacked this pic from the chopcult forum as i just love this helmet - reminds me of the ol martini racing porsches. now on the search for an ol school buco, or shoei helmet, anyone got a full face one in medium that they would like to sell?

traffic....

all around good guy Jeremy Jones posted up a pic of my kid's little trike on his blog; which also got posted on the Burton website. Jai was so excited to see his hog in webworld that he almost peed his pants when he saw the pic. Plus i have noticed a ton of traffic to my blog which all appears to be coming from the Burton & JJ's blog sites. thanks doot, much appreciated.

Little red trike, so awesome!

land or death!

saw the movie CHe over the weekend, and just had to give it a hype up on the blog. For those of you who may live in a hole; Che is the story of revolutionary Ernesto "che" Guevarra who (along with Fidel Castro and crew) launched a military revolution to overthrow the currupt Government of Cuba.
Now the movie "che" features Benecio Del Toro in the role of CHe, and he does an absolutley amazing job. His portayal of one of the most influential people in history is brilliant, and everything from the style to the chronic asthma that Che suffered is spot on.
as for the movie, it is amazingly shot & Steven Soderberg really put together a epic flick. yep, its long (4 hours +) and some parts are slow so if you have ADD you'll think it sucks. but for those who dig brilliantly shot film with amazing acting you'll dig it.
