Sick Of It All - New York Hardcore Legends
Been listening a bit online to the new Sick Of It All and it reminds me of how great of a band they are. Always consistent with their stance and outlook. Give'em a spin. A two spot of the past and present...
Custom Helmets
I don't know about yal, but I am yearning to go back in time and get some kind of fearsome helmet cookin. I dig the vintage helmets with the metal flake and I also dig full face on those shit ass weather days in which you are riding but the suck factor is huge. Enough with the pinstriping and crazy airbrush effects, lets up the ante and make helmets gnarly again. Take a moment, if you will and think what if you just happened to have a medieval style helmet. I think the cool factor would go up exponentially and if that thing had the right padding in it, holy shit, may as well start strapping a sword as well. Game on!
Steampunks At It Again
I just really dig the Steampunk vibe. Maybe the comic book lovin' part me of just wants to see the alternate reality of the Steampunk mindset come to fruition, who knows. What I do like about the work is the artisan quality and use of materials. All the pieces tend to have an aged and worn feel which has soul. In the biker world, we see chrome, some more chrome and then an inundation of polished chrome. Visually its boring to me and wears me out on what is perceived as cool. Next build of mine is gonna be the steampunk vibe through and through.

Run 4 Your Life - Ohio
Workin' on a posse to blaze over to Ohio the first week of August for the run. Sturgis is just too far and too much time away this year. Potentially also going to stroll through Louisville as well. Hit me up whomever might be interested.

Flat Tires - North Carolina Rabble Rousers
Stoked to be adding the Flat Tires to the Rusty Knuckles family. These are some hell raising mofo's and I am stoked that they wanted to work with us going forward for new releases and merch. Look for a split 7inch by June with Joe Buck along with a new full length this fall. Or even better, check'em out on saturday at our Revenge Run after party with Crank County Daredevils, Octane Saints and Dielectrics. Hopefully Clint the lead singer won't kick your ass then steal your woman, hahah!

New Floor Boards
I have been thinking about making a new set of floorboards for a while now and have just been a bit lazy about it. This past saturday I thought if not now then when will I do it, so I bought two pieces of steel from Lowe's and here is what I came up with. Floorboards feel great on long rides as my calf muscles don't cramp up and they give just enough foot support to really settle in. The steel cost me under 15 bucks and I had already made the previous mounts for my old floorboards so not too rough on the wallet either.
Action Girls - B Movie Mayhem
So I am guessing you have 5 minutes to spare at some point, well check this out. I commented on a photo on flickr then the person sends a link back to a site called Action Girls dot com. Its one of those sites full of kitsch Russ Meyers inspired vixens with a healthy dose of Tarantino to boot. The photos are over the top as they should be. These images should be inspirations for bikers everywhere.

Televangelist Inspired Metal?
Hmmm...What if the bodies were to really hit the floor? Could a metal hit have inspired a televangelist or was it vice versa? I just really want to know if swinging a jacket at people really knocks them out? Gotta get me a dose of that power surge!
