Springtime in Michigan!

Greasy Dave sent me this heart warming shot yesterday.

McQueen Monday

Thought this pic was fitting for today's MM since I woke up with three fresh inches of the white stuff in my yard. It's also worth noting that (no matter what Shoe thinks) Steve had excellent taste in trucks.

The Legendary COBO


The Legendary Cobo from Douglas Akers on Vimeo. Our good friend Doug Akers just finished his latest film - an in depth doc about the cultural impact of Detroit's own COBO hall. From Martin Luther King to KISS, all the heavies have been there. Take a peek at the official trailer above.

Malissa's New Sled

I've already said too much...keep an eye on your tube.

Our Daily Sled # 213

One of Ry's latest -"The Taint Splitter". A well messaged $200 garage sale Yamaha XS650. Look for another of Ry's creations coming soon to a television near you...

The Purpose #41

More Walter Goodness...

While were on the topic of W.G... not only is Walter a genuine good samaritan, he's also a genuine ar-teest. He made me this piece based on a ZON post I put up last fall. Now it sits next to my bed and is the first thing I see every morning when I rise. I can't think of better words to live by. I have not had a chance to properly thank him for his love. Thanks brutha!

For Japan

Walter over at Kick-Start Cycle Supply is a Hero. He thunk up a cool way to help out with the relief effort in Japan - plus, if you follow his plan you end up with one of these killer little tees emblazed with a Shinya hotrod to prove your hearts in the right place. Click the post title for the jump and be a hero too.

MotoNisto No.6







75 degrees on Sunday in the D. What's to do? How about riding over to Marcel's place to help him turn the last few bolts on MotoNisto No.6, fire it up and blast down the freeway into the sunset? Sounds good to me so that's exactly what we did.

2011 Eustis Swap - Part 1/3


















This past March marked the fourth year of my attendance at the AMCA's Eustis National Swap/Show - three days in the warm Florida sun with old rusty stuff. The weather was the best in years and the amount of vendors selling seemed up from last year. A lot of good stuff for sale but like most major AMCA events the good stuff was not cheap. Having said that there were still some deals to be had on Saturday as people started to think about packing up and heading into Daytona for bike week. By far the best thing about Eustis (besides the weather) is the southern hospitality. After a year or two of visiting the show solo it's now nice to be a part of "the Family". A close knit group of assorted strange and demented biker types of the vintage variety. So I'd like to thank Hammer&Donna, Mark, Nelson (thanks for the parts!), Louis, Joe, Gene, Doc and Tim & Barb for all the love, food, spirits and especially for the roof over my head every time I visit. Already looking forward to next year. Here's the first part of a three part series.
