Some Days We All Just Need A Bit More Porn

Lowered and with a perfect stance, damn beautiful Dyna

Some days we all could use just a bit more porn in our lives, make that bike porn...

"The show took place on March 2, 2013 at the same place as last year, the amazing old building from the early 1800′s that used to be an old steel mill. But once again we rolled in another kind of massaged steel; choppers, bobbers, custom bikes and even a few vintage races. So enjoy these great pictures taken by Wictor Bergqvist of www.mandit.org."

Wheels Through Time, New Photo Updates

About twice a year we will roll over to the Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley and just gawk at the history and amazing bikes in their building. Every time I go through I try to find a new angle on the photos and see something new to shoot. As many times as I have been its getting harder, but luckily a plethora of their bikes change out and they are continually adding new pieces to their evolving collection.


Check out the Wheels Through Time museum

We will be rollin' up to north Baltimore on the weekend of February 10th to hang with quite a few friends and be a part of this huge event. Last year the show pulled in roughly around 46,000 attendees and being that it is dead in the middle of winter, folks will be coming out in force in anticipation of the warm spring weather about to come. So for yall up north we will be invading and providing the music for the after party. Not sure which bands just yet that are going to roll up but count on it being rowdy.

Qball Photos - Living The Life - Dixie Welcome

“Dixie Welcome” circa 197? from “Living The Life”, biker photography book

It is one thing to get pulled over for something you know you did wrong. It is another thing to get pulled over for nothing at all. If that wasn’t bad enough, to be pulled over and detained while the man checks your papers three times in a row, that does it. It was all I could stand. Despite the objections of my club brothers, and the obvious police threat, I pulled out my camera and started to take photos. I got about three shots off when the sheriff and deputy stopped me in my tracks. After a failed attempt to discuss Constitutions Rights with the sheriff, “boy, let me tell you about rights”, I put away my camera. Later down the road I received some schooling “thumping” from the club on dealing with like situations. After which cold beer, war stories, and brotherhood prevailed. Long and short of it, I got my shot, and here it is.

Long May You Ride,
Q-Ball
