Heavy Rebel Weekender - Winston Salem, NC


















What a great time this whole event was. From all the cool new folks I met to all the people that really dug what I am doing with Rusty Knuckles and Gearhead Records, was a damn good time. So many folks to give shout outs to but if you were there and we chatted, hit me up and lets ride and talk shop some more.

Josh's new build




drove out to Asheboro, NC today to check out Josh's new bike build and simply shoot the shit. Of course it turned into a 5 hour conversation on bikes but thats just a given, haha! He has some great ideas cookin' on this bike and of course a lot of folks are going to say it looks like a Bill Dodge bike but that is a damn great compliment for sure. Can't wait to see this thing runnin' in the next few months. Take a look at that motor and see if you can figure out what amalgamation it is, that is surely a challenge and I can't wait to hear it fire up.

Nothing better than having soft crabs in the summer with the fam. Great new dockside restaurant in Rumbley, MD. Its right on the docks and serves cold beer and tasty Maryland soft crabs. good times for sure.

Chaz gets background props with Stallone!


found this photo on the Broken Spoke Saloon's site for New Orleans bike week and I just started laughing. Here ya go Chaz, we found where you were lurking to promote your winning of the Rat Bastard Trophy for your old Pan'. I guess Sylvester Stallone was a big fan as well. Background props none the less! photo is courtesy of whoever took it and I got it from the BrokenSpokeSaloon.com

Cycle Source: Big Mountain Run


















Damn! I am still kickin' myself on how great a time this rally was. From the new folks I met up with and can't wait to ride with again to the bitchin' roads we covered. The trip was fantastic from the start. All the folks from Pittsburgh were solid people, Marilyn from Iron Works is one of the coolest people I have met along with Pat from Led Sled Customs and Benji killin' the ramp. Can't wait to hang with yall again and for the ridin' crew that are newfound brothers. Billy Velvet, Triumph Brett, Cajun Chaz and I put some miles down and loved every minute of it. Hells Yeah! Thank you Cycle Source for bringin' all of us gypsies together, til' next time!

Finally, a movie about Lemmy!


http://www.lemmymovie.com/

this is such a welcome sight to see, about damn time. Will never forget the night that Motorhead played the club I used to work at in San Francisco, the Great American Music Hall. One of the opening bands for which I can't remember which one it was but I don't think it was either God Forbid or Soil but the other opener which I can't remember. Dude came running up to me from down in the dressing rooms during sound check and telling me that Lemmy stole all their beer. I immediately felt like I saw this person as if they were in the 4th grade crying about the bully stealing their school lunch. Told him there wasn't much I could do and he had to take it up with Lemmy. Then the dude in question decides to confront Mr. Kilmeister about the drinks, the prompt answer he got before he could even finish was "Fuck off, I'm Lemmy". I thought I would shit my pants laughing and then Lemmy then of course sidled up to the bar and got a whiskey before we opened the doors for the show. Of course as it turns out Lemmy brought a 50 gallon cooler off the bus and loaded up all of their drinks, when they were all bullshitting elsewhere. He was super cool with us at the club and a stand up dude. Truly a tale I will laugh about for years to come.

Lost & Found - "Crack Rock" found at Wake County, NC community college welding shop


I was diggin' through the scrap bin at the welding shop down at the local community college during shop one night and found this piece of randomness. Apparently when one of the students wanted to learn a bit more finesse with his TIG welding skills, he figured spelling out words with some rod and tungsten would be fun. Well, I give it up to him as he did indeed spell it right and I hate to think that I was the one who stole the sign off of his door listing his products for sale. But then again he if doesn't make it as a welder there are more career opportunities available.
