Brooklyn Between the Bars PT2 - Into the Belly of the Beast

















Riding into NYC from New Jersey on a rigid, single brake, mirror-less chopper is not for those who spook easily. Besides the ultra-aggro drivers looking for any sliver to cram their cars into, the roads suck beyond belief.  I saw holes in the road go by next to me (thank god) that would swallow a linebacker whole.  Patches between sections varied in elevation from an inch to half a foot - don't think I road over a smooth one the entire trip. We got lost - a few times. I think we crossed more bridges then we really had too but we did see a lot of the city which was super cool.  Once we finally made it to Brooklyn we rolled over to Root Studios where the show would be happening the following day. We met Dave Polgreen, Watermelon Pete, Zac Doom and Andy from Pangeaspeed. Most of the bikes had already been loaded-in so we got to take a good long look before the masses which was a gift. When there is no one around, and the place is quiet, like it was, you can really focus on the details in the bikes.  We spent time soaking in the bikes - the morning flew by.  I took a bunch of pics but most turned out like crap because of a bad camera setting - sorry.  The few that are decent are shown above.  Don't worry I had my act together for the show and I'll be posting those pics soon...

Your definition of 'crap' shots is probably different from mine, love these.
