A year ago.....

One year ago I got back from a riding trip in the UK and in a month we'll be heading to Montana for another week of riding all over Yellowstone and the surrounding area. When it comes down to it, all this work bullshit is just a means to make money to be able to go and ride motorcycles in places you've never ridden before. Take my advice: Don't put off the trips you really want to take until 'later', because there isn't any guarantee that 'later' will ever come. Get off your ass and go see something you've never seen before. And I mean really see it, not just on fucking TV.

The pic is me, my Pop, and my good friend Mike in Northern England somewhere. The shot doesn't do it justice.

The Black Bastard

I got Andre's KZ out on the interstate a couple of times recently and it runs very well. Plenty of power and louder than a gang of little kids at Chuck E. Cheese. I've got one nagging issue I'm still fighting with, but once it's solved Andre will be out doing stupid stuff on the bike in no time. Check it out.

One more from the Smoke Out

Here's a shot of me and Monica, aka Juggs Judy, on the drag strip after the Roller Derby bout. I know, I look cool as hell, but what can you do? The Roller Derby exhibition was great and they used the spectators as human cushions so the girls wouldn't crash into the drag strip wall.

Monica skates for the Richland County Regulators and their next bouts are Labor Day weekend in Myrtle Beach where they will undoubtedly put a hurtin' on some bitches.
