Celebrity Sighting

Last night had a random celebrity stop by my humble garage to check out the hondas and shoot the shit. taken some stuff off and seeing whats goung on.photo intentionaly blurred to protect from paparazzi, spys, etc...or was it the beer?

Late Xmas

I love santas time schedule, never too late. red and white bike photo from vzarcaro's flikr, outstanding inspiration for my current aquisiton of two cb750's. Thanks Santa! and MB

Bootleg Hoedown Flyer

Been playing around again now that I repaired my supercomputer. Made up this bootleg flyer for Hoedown #2 should be a good time for all.completly eradicated xmas yesterday and looking forward to the new year.

Holidays are almost over!!!!

Not being a fan of the holidays I think I made it through it. lots going on with motorcycles and truck projects in the extreme future, like tomorrow!!!! Stole this pics from I don't remember where flikr for most. I really dig the old rust bucket look, sanford and son style!!! It should be a great summer but. definetly a long winter.

Patina'ed Vantasticness

Nice progress shot of A team 2012 van being constructed. stolen from trailerparklimos blogsite.

More Vault Scans

scanned these from same mag. some really cool stuff. most of these bikes were on the street before I was born but not by much.the real money shot is the last one, notice anything different? other than the splash paint job.

Suitcase Vault

In this suitcase I do find some treasures as it was filled with lots of old mags. looking thru a few I found an old magazine by hotbike which showcased streetchopper from 69' to 84'. While looking thru I found this gem of a cover shot. You see I'm 98% positive that was shot in Hemet at the local Taco shop which I can remember being a Naugles (think I spelled it right...) back in the day. The place is still there and most fondly remembered as Ramiro's which was favorite taco shop for the town, so busy they had to stay open 24 hours to even service Hemet's local after hour bicycle riding, teeth missing, spun units. back to the subject of Hondas's this is a nice one too.

Hump Day

been working out bugs in the work pc as it has been down for a bit. new power supply, reapply thermal paste, and new touch and pen pad.bummer when the one pc with CS3 is down.working on lots of new artwork now and already looking forward to summer.....

Rear View

If while riding you look back and see this, you should know that you might be in for a run......I think the beer gut adds to the balance. Only in California!!!

decisions

Some that have caught my eye lately...really like the crossed exhaust. hmmm...tall & long.....

bad azz boat action

As always I was looking around the web and found this. earthrace boat which is incredible, $500,000 or more carbon fiber and capable of submarining thru waves.hard to believe a crew of four stays on the boat. it has now been painted black and will be used to hunt whalers and other offenders of the ocean.

4 wheel delights

Its always hard when close family passes...then there sometimes is the rewarding side where you are bestowed with something you truly treasure whose worth is only in the eyes of those who know its history and respect the hands laid upon it and the jobs it help to complete by just keepin' going on.after bugging, hinting, a searching out on many occasions I shall inherit this truck which right now represents my family many of which have passed and what has shaped the way I work thru each day. Thank you to those that watch over me for without them I would not be here now. A unique, eccentric, timeless example of california history.

Piston Honda

Like a sumo wrestler on the search for sushi and steak I keep digging up treasures off this glorified television with typewriter styled remote control. only because tv is lame and cable worse. where else but in the good ol' U.S. would the basic package be over 250 channels of crap. I miss the days of 2,4,5,7,9,11,13 and some weird vhf snow bound junk. kids these days don't know how to deal with you get what you get and don't bitch.thats why I keep mine chained in the cellar!!!!!! just throw them some wrenches, miscellaneous engine parts, and a couple of cases of pixy sticks and see what happens. Yes, on this day I once again envy those fortunate to experience the mooneyes show in JAPAN. soon I will visit the land of the rising sun..

Training Wheels

After looking under rocks and behind shacks, sheds, and various "mobile" homes I have found something to pop my cherry for the winter. worked out a deal with the hollywood hippy killer for a cb750 project. strated the arduous task of refining what I want to do before even getting started, been assaulting the web for shots of 750 builds. even came across the shot of hippy killer kutty's old cycle which left me fond of old memories of trips to paso robles with the bike and matching chopped old ford. The loss of another close family member this week has left me a little bitter at the person manning the controls but, life keeps going!!! looking forward to posting some progress pics soon, first gotta get it in my GARAGE!!!
