Thank You Mr. Phillips

I first noticed one of Rich Phillip's bikes at Sturgis a few years back. What I've seen of his work so far has been really nice - he's built my favorite 45 that I featured a few weeks back in a Daily Sled post. I had lost track of his name since I took that picture but thanks to a ZON regular - (COLE thanks!) I'm back in the know. I did a little research and came up with Rich's blog too. Check it out for even more cool shit. http://richphillipscycles.blogspot.com/

I'm Back!

Hey there all, I'm back. Went away a little longer than I had planned due to a few technical issues but now I'm home with all my gear packed away and ready to get back at it. Had a great trip/break with some really good days and nights put into the memory banks.

This is the time of year I plan all my trips for the upcoming season and 2010 is looking like it's going to be packed with plenty of two-wheeled travel. If all goes well we'll have a return to Bonneville for Speed Week with the Bonnepan, a San Francisco to Portland run, a trip up the Alaskan Highway, my normal July 4th South West gig and a brand new bike. Nothing like sitting down with a bottle of wine, a calender full of unused vacation days and a stack of really good maps. Switch on the Hi-Fi, throw a log on the fire and create the future.

Let's get rolling, Daytona is only 4 weeks away!

On The Road

My computer has a virus, the weather is looking good and I'm itching for some new surroundings so I'm out the door. Looking forward to the open road for a while. Talk to you all later...

Rail Job

Guiding the heavy glass took muscle, cool nerves and the dexterity of a cat in the days before carbon fiber. As always, style was a plus.

"Race History"

Found this in the mail yesterday...I love this stuff. Now where will I put it? Last time I checked the BonnePan had no dash?

Baby Blue Badass

Just when you thought the sidewalk was safe...

Sleepy, Tipsy & the Whiz

The boys with Tipsy's winter project.

Backyard Find!

From Russia with Love. Your very own Mig 15. Thanks Ulie.

Special Guests

A small crew from Milwaukee stopped by the other night to take a peak at the BonnePan. Like Shoe always says "In life it's not where your at, it's who your with." Tipsy, Kirk, Matt and Willie - darn good folk one and all.

"The '39" Redux

Well not quite. These pics are from the first days of my '39 ULH build in November of 2007. Memories...

Sister Hazelhair #6

The powers of the git working fine in the days before rock and roll. Local surfer casts his spell @ San'O in 1950.

Getting the Party Started

Tipsy demonstrates how to clear out a house full of party goers. . Turns out most would rather freeze to death outside rather then die of toxic smoke inhalation.

Dice Reaches the Big 30!

Congrats Matt&Dean!

Horizon Bound

Everything feels right in my world when I study this picture - Zen. I WANT TO BE THIS GUY RIGHT NOW. Let's kick it over and point it at the setting sun. 1914 Twin (I think - running boards and timing cover are '14 or post '14 anyway). Love it, Love it, Love it!

Our Daily Sled # 142

"Lil' Slingshot". Detroit's Autorama '08. The bike show @ Autorama is pretty weak. "LS" was about the only bike I noticed at the show other than the "Bloody Mary".

Sister Hazelhair #5

Love this one! "San O" summer, 1950. Thanks Greg!

The "Bloody Mary"

E.J's beast still looks like a brutal handful of wrong. Awesome. Detroit's Autorama '09.

Another shot of that sweet blue digger from Sturgis in '08. Enjoy!

Ok, winter can be over now. I'm done. Really.

I was tipped off to a moon like this in tonight's sky. A "new" moon. It's a good moment for this classic Mann. Hope everyone had a Great New Years. It's 2010! Now let's get started!
