Stripes

A hot chick can't change them.

Hero Worship

Checked out the International Motorcycle Show in Charlotte yesterday. Got to sit on the new 190+hp ZX-14 and check out some other cool bikes. Ed, Jimmy, and I then headed to Newton's to enjoy a top shelf dinner from his beautiful and very patient wife, Karel. Good time hanging out with the crew and talking about bike projects and warm weather riding coming up soon.

New Jack

New bike build project in the shop. I'm building this one for my buddy Barry's son. Straight forward rigid with a nice Evo and a 5-Speed. Good simple bike built to run and ride, looking forward to diving into it.

Business Time

About the only time wearing a tie is acceptable.

No, I Don't Know How Fast I was Going!

What do you do with those two nice mounting lugs on your narrowglide top tree? Make a sweet mini speedo mount, that's what. Jimmy's new set up I knocked out last night. I tried to convince him that if you don't have a speedo then at least you can say you didn't know how fast you were going when you get pulled over, but oh well. Jimmy loves abiding by the law, sort of.

Wrench Therapy

Had a nice late night in the shop getting Jimmy's FXR belt replaced. Alone with the music on and my hands dirty, therapy you can't buy.

So Fucking Money.

A few days in Vegas last week with my girl and some good friends. My first time there and it was pretty good. Vegas is a unique mix of humanity and for someone like me, it was entertaining to witness the combination of high end glamour mixed with the lowest elements of depravity and everyone in between. It also turns out there are some great outdoor adventures just outside of the city that I never knew about and some really beautiful mountain/high desert areas. Great trip.
