Collectors Item

I love Greasy Kulture and I love this hat. It's been with me since Born Free 2 and to several different continents over the last few years. Please support Guy and his mag! Photo in Hong Kong airport on my way to Tokyo.

1938 Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

My buddy Al sent me these beautiful photos and a short note about a few people that are very near and dear to him. Thank you very much for sharing this with me. "That's my uncle at 18 years old with the big grin. It was around this time that he was riding with a club that raced all over Ontario. He's still alive and sound of mind. Even though he's into his 90's I'm sure he could tell me every detail about that Indian from the date he bought it to the cost of gaskets at the time. He has told me some pretty cool stories not the least of which is about the girl in her riding outfit on his right arm. She is 17 there and became his wife later this same year. He's quite proud of the fact that after their wedding she hopped on the back of that bike and off they rode to Wasaga Beach to watch the races. 100 miles on mostly unpaved roads, to watch motorcycle races in the sand with a bunch of guys for their honeymoon! She was a keeper....for 72 years. The 16 year old girl wearing the dress on his left arm became his sister-in-law.....my grandmother. I'm sure her early exposure to bikes and the fun she and her sisters had paved the way for her unwavering support of my riding. It wasn't long after these photos were taken that he and the guys in the club enlisted in the military together. Off they went to Europe and the rest is history." "Smiles for miles, eh?" - Al

Thinking about this again

My mind has been focused on different things over the last year, today it ended up back here. Looking forward to seeing things come together one day.

Dream setup

Chatting with Jason today about rounding up the last parts for my 45. Love to have the same handlebar/riser setup as Jeff Decker's WR.

JPRC - Storytime

Jason's shop is full of great parts and most of the time these parts come with great stories. Make sure to drop by and visit Jason to see and hear for yourself.

NFK in the flesh

Fun to see the blog related bike stuff in real life. Been following NFK blog for a long time.

Underground - Yokohama HRCS

I'll be posting more bikes that I saw in the underground parking at Yokohama. I really liked this Pan. First image has my bro in the far background shooting too, so that's cool for me.

Motomachi - DicE party

DicE mag held their Yokohama party at the Bridge in Motomachi. It was a happening event fast, I had a chance to catch up with a few people, then I stepped out early to head back my hotel myself on foot and then train. On the way out, I bumped into this fellow and his awesome pan just parked casually outside the party. We exchanged a few quick words and then he kicked over his bike, hopped on and rode into the night, as I took a few photos. The walk back remains deeply ingrained in my mind.

Underground - Yokohama HRCS

Going into the underground parking garage, at first glance you would think that i'm walking into another bike show. Unbelievable, more bikes than in the actual show and all ridden, I couldn't get through it all.
