Randumbness

Who has time for internerding when it's nice outside.  That's my excuse.  Here's some randumbness!

summer cruise


Went to Acid show in AP.  It was fun.  
Dom and I rode out to the Mods and Rockers show in Philly.  We had very low expectations but I must admit we were pleasantly surprised.  Show was great with cool bikes, great people and some fashion models.

Beer was not free but it was good
I like riding with Dom because he's all business and German as fuck...like me.    This photo is our Dunkirk moment for the day.

Dunkirk moment that ended the trip.   As usual...You just can't rewrite history. 

Duh, it's done.  Fo real.  



Bryan has a garage now.  It's an awesome pile.  Harleys and Triumphs will know what it's like to roast in the depth of the slor on this day let me tell you....???

My neighbor let his kids draw a picture of me in the street.  I was stoked.



MOM JEANS.  Yep, Bobby rocks the Mom jeans.    Rides his panhead in them.    


surf pow wow with my bro Rob.  

Bryan's garage, so they don't get confused.

preparing for Classic Cycles show in Frenchtown.  More on that soon.

You probably have all this with you if you ride Triumphs.  

Princeton NJ.  Resting on way to Frenchtown.

Triumph is killing me. Happens everytime.

Made my way over to Morris Magneto aka Morristown Cycle to pick up the mag. 
Put the mag on and sure enough it fired up on the first kick.  At this point, I was pretty happy.  Unfortunately, after running for a few, the left cyliner started smoking and then blowing oil.  I ripped the top end off and found the oil ring was shot.  Sucks but easy enough to fix.

 In the meantime, check out my friend Pat at Jersey Metal Shaping.  He makes custom sheet metal anything but specializes in panels for old cars.  If you have a Ford Roadster, you'll be psyched.

 If you read this horrible blog you might know this guy.  Congrats to him.  check out www.deathgripgriptape.com 


 ...and back on the road.  Shakedown runs are in process.  Retorque, fix this, fix that, endless leaks, throttle stuck wide open at one point...that was fun.  Stay tuned, next post nine months from now.

Ride to Skate, Memorial Day, East Coast Machine

Ride to Skate was epic.  I only shot a few photos but you get the idea.  It was an unbelievable showcase of motorcycles and cool stuff.  FDR is still the best skatepark on earth in my opinion.  If you can skate that place you can skate anything.  It's east coast roughness at it's finest.  Big thanks to Joe Zito and all the peeps that make this happen.  And big thanks to the dudes that built this Temple of Gnar.










Met Steve from East Coast Machine at FDR.  Real good dude.  Check out his blog for some east coast chopper creativity.

I went to Collingwood flea market to pick up some foam and spotted this MG34 at the Army/Navy store there.  I don't know about you but I love machine guns.  Not too often you get to check one out.  Some little kid was a historian on the thing.  Told me he learned it all from playing video games.  Needless to say, I wan't impressed, ha ha.

Shane and I went for a good ride on Memorial Day which ended with a gathering of the Speed Metal crew in Asbury.  Good times.  Yes, that is a Harley Davidson golf cart.  And that's cool.


When you ride Triumphs, you get oil on your back.  If you ride behind them, you get oil in your face.

It's slow going on my bike build due to work obligations and endless sunshine.  I did bend up this sissy bar out of stainless.  Hopefully, it'll hold a skateboard nicely.



as spotted on the GSP last night driving home from work.  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

...and the Mets finally get a no hitter!  It only took 50 years.
