White Denim. or.....Wash that Shit

OK, my friend went on a rant about the lameness of an art scene. How real art or artists are mostly ignore. Yuppies tend to look @ price point and not much else.

this is one more example of some real in your face fucking music being ignored.

they look mostly foolish and have that late 70's Goodwill look. they really done give a damn

I saw these guys live @ the Continetal Club in Austin a couple years ago. Damn good show mate.

They didnt care then either

Red 40

You I am sure have heard me spread the Lucero gospel.

Ben and the band are a remonder of why I started following music in the first place. No frills do it for the love kind of music. We dont give a shit about Warner Bros. kind of stuff. They were never in it for the record deal and if you study the history they lost the rights to some early stuff.

Alcohol and record contracts dont mix to well.

Here is some early Ben Nichols along with some other obscure folks.

I give you Red 40

Sobriety Rocks!

Seems like all my childhood hero's are getting sober.

I hadn't paid much attention to Mr. Peters lately, not even sure when he got sober?
I do know that he and many others have discovered a key that unlocks a door that was shut so fuckin tight it was a prison of the mind.

I try not to judge the beer guzzlin, pot smokin folks these days....Used to be one myself ya know.

What I do know is Duane is gettin up there and still kickin ass!

McMurtry Music

OK....I been gone a while....I had some shit to do damnit!

Look, if you read this blog or look upon my FB profile or if...think of it.....have a real in the flesh conversation with me you know I love this squaller...Alt. Country some call it. Lets call it music. Real Fucking Music! BMG has no clue what that is. Think Lucero meets Fire Walk with Me.

It has some truth, some meaning and some god-damned soul. The heart is just a given. There aint a whole mess of it around these days. Hate to say it but fucking Love and Rockets had more soul than most these sum bitches out here today. I had a Love and Rockets shirt back in the day. You remember no one heard of 'em till they happened to score one radio hit, the fell back into obscure or prolly some flat in London more likely where they could drink in peace.

I am really in the mood some some good god damned curse words today.Take your radio and stick it up your arse

break---FAST!!!

OK,,,so I did it, yeah it was me....what of it. 5 Days of whole raw vegan Organic goodness and I picked up some cooked and cheesy veggies today. A part of me felt like a slipper again. Ya know that drama filler that is always in and out of meetings?? The one with never ending tears in there eye??

Another part of me felt like the rebel with a cause, or a pause, hell I dont know, I had some North Carolina Mexican in preparation for some TX Taco, Tex Mex, Torchy's sausolito good waves. Be better than the Chi-town hot dog PLEASE!!!

Really its just for the up coming vacation, and learning the moderate and easy transition. I do plan to eat me a prickly pear while there though.....If'n that is OK with you



This is prolly what Tom Waits would have been if he were off the sauce. L.A sure as hell aint no diamond though....trust me

Day 3

OK, it would appear I forgot about his part, THE DETOX!

Tired, sore, cranky, felling a little bit sick, I have had nothing today but 3 bannana, strawberry and green food (superfood) smoothies. Yes...there are those who will encourage me to "get some meat in me belly" NO......this is good, this is raw detox. I am releasing the sugar, the toxins, the chemical laden stuff they allow to be called "food"

Think about it, the same companies who bring you dinner are the same exact corporations who bring you chemo. Friggin completely insane. Just plain insane

Storm is the man here though, yes I know I am hopping all over the place, it is partially the nature of the bugger boo. WhooDooo VooDooo.

Dude is in better shape than me, and 25 years older. One of many why I am gettin back on board

MIGRAINE?!?!

What the hell black bells??? I am told I had a migraine headache yesterday, never had such a God awful pain in my skull. Felt like I was gonna vomit! All that I could do was get home, get the comfies on and crawl under the sheets for 12 hours. OUCH!!!!

So some of you may be wondering, (Ima switch gears here) why just why would a man such as me want to take his blog in this direction. Why would I put all my "schitt" for all the WWW to see??

Good question shipmate, answer is I really dont have an idea for ya but could say it is something to make me more motivated, more dedicated and more transparent to all my friends family and devoted. Look here......we all are in this together, whether you agree with it or not we all ride this big ol monkey train one toe @ a time so why not. As my friend said this morning...."We're human...nothing more nothing less, just human. "

So this blog is now taking the direction to motivate, educate, aggravate and maybe even isolate. The path I am choosing as said once before will cause others to be disrupted and discouraged. It takes some real guts to walk to the pace of a different cadence. It is all I have left to do. True originality has faded, nothing is really real anymore and nothing is overly ecstatic so get over it. Try something new, something pure and something whole, it looks a bit like an apple if you knoe what I mean.

So the fridge has been stocked, Whole Raw Organic fruits, nuts, and veggies. I took an amazing stop @ the pool this morning and whooooboy that something.

Todays video is not intended for those who are dis-pleased with graphic violence......toward pigs, yes, pigs.

New Record.

So something must have worked. We have already set a new record for Blog hits just since the last post. Very interesting.

Despite falling asleep with the light on and my book in my lap. (Hate when I do that) I feel suprisingly refreshed today. No coffee but a fruit smoothie for the AM. Some prayer and meditating along with some more laundry.

Was boxing a big ol stack of some old moto-magazines and a customer walked right in and said he would take em off my hands for me. Very easy and very cool. Claims the new owner of said magazines will be a youngun that loves lookin at pictures. Even better.

Last night laundry was accomplished, (some of it) A big box of books was loaded into the car, clothes got seperated for a Goodwill give away pile and I cranked out 4 sets of 25 pushups. Felt damn good despite a little soreness I believe it is merely a sign. I used to crank 100 pushups like cake to a fat mans mouth. No Sweat.

Dunno what to add here today but a post always grabs more attention with some eye candy. Let us UTube browse a bit

NEW WAY

So as some of you may have picked up on lately the blog is an on and off again endeavor. I am a very busy guy these days and as I confessed earlier there is much to do so I may simplify to get back to a better life.

The past nine months I have made a decision that has mostly put me behind this computer has caused some serious psyche damage. Anger, depression, back pain, not to mention getting off my routine of pushups, situps, walkin the dog and other good things I always placed high value on in life since the coming of my sobriety over 5 years ago now.

There was once a time when I was hanging with some serious Raw Food folks. I was strong happy healthy and satisfied but as any good alcoholic I went back to the bottle. Slowly @ first then like always FULL F'N BORE!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! Who wouldn't love a life of drama, county jail, fist fights and other fun stuff.

Sadly I confess that @ this moment I am really not in a good mind frame to be writing this. I am tired, my head itches, my complexion has been fired up again and I got more chores to do than one can imagine. I am also aware of certain spiritual laws which will allow things and people in my life to fall by the wayside. This is another thing I will deal and re-act to as this comes along.....

First things first. One by one eliminate all trash in the house and in the shop. By trash I mean things which no longer serve me. Old books, magazines, clothes and other B.S which I might think has a certain "attachement"

Second, (or in line with first) get the hell back on the program horse. Meetings, step work, prayer, meditation, running, workout etc. The loss of these simple things in life has caused some turmoil as of late. Some small some medium sized, no major cop calling drama but could happen if I keep on the trail

Next get off the junk, the sweets, the coffee, the nicotine etc. I was for a long time always praised that I looked much younger than I am but that she-it has been really catching up. Damn I am gettin old and as I look around I see a whole society of mean loathsome angry mother f'ers doin the same and more. we are a sick people and I only have the power to change the I AM so I AM.

There is much much more to come but as a viable and healthy way of keepin this thing rollin I pledge to keep this blog rollin with daily updates on the happenings on my life. If it inspires you then AWESOME if it makes you look elsewhere for negative shit. Which I realized I been posting some negative shit lately then that's fine too. See afformentioned reasons and consequences.

Change List......Diet.......Work........Money........Housing...........Exercise..........Attitude.........Stuff. Material STUFF. That shit is really drivin me up a wall for sure. I gotta make this move before I end up with a gut. Guts. It takes guts. We (I) will be keeping a photo log as well of the physical changes as well this here corner will update you on the mental spiritual and emotional but the shit really has to change and it can only get better.

this guys a friend of mine. He can give you some explanation on the path I am looking @.
First things first.

Lyrics

We ask and then we receive. I wonder just what other things....opportunities....this here lil blog will bring into my life.

Maybe I will scream like Phillip, not Phil, he was Pantera and equally if not bettery good and cool.

I met Phillip though, Phillip Labonte. wish I knew how this dude does it all. Party, work out, make money, drive a BMW. WAIT....I do those things....cept drive a Cadillac. Bimmers are for Bimmer people, I'm a Caddillac kind of guy. Some dude called it a Caddy yesterday, I wanted to smack his silly little ass. No it does not carry your golf clubs, golf is for pussies. Alice Cooper lost all sorts of cool guy points for hangin out in golf pants. He claims that is where he finds his Zen....BAH!

I doubt Phil ever golfs, he has a real mans handshake I tell ya. He encourages crowd surfing too. Alice can go to the links now



Yeah....thats a chick in the band, they are really that cool

For Sale muthefuggers!!!

Times in life we come to a crossroads and being a business owner has allowed for much re-evaluation of what is important in life therefor some things gotta go, like the FaceBook friend cutting as of recent. Why the hell do I wanna hear about the offspring of somebody I just happened to take the same math class with 20 years ago?? And why the hell they about me??

Anyhow....the CB750F is up for sale along with a whole mess of parts from an additional non-runner of the same year and model. Its house cleaning time my friends.

She has a few kinks to work out which will be done before ink is laid to title but here is your chance to own a bike that was owned by a legend. Should you be the purchaser I can fill you in on a whole mess of history.

Fresh battery, K+N air filter, Avon Road Runners with less than 1k miles.

Get it before its gone



Times in life a man has to re-time and re-tune and sacrifice short term gains for long term runs. I will prolly regret this sale but it is for the highest good of all concerned.

Got an 82 Nighthawk basket case as well, lemme know what you need

P.S the bike for sale is not the bike in the video but damn close

Re-Fresh-ness

OK...So it's been getting stale. Something has lost its luster and I am not sure just what it is.

Maybe I need a road trip, or maybe I just need ......I really dont know what I need.

Some things are better left unsaid but here is some amazing photography. Amazing....huh?

BARBEE RAY

Some new school kids need to watch this, learn the roots of the culture. This was the beginning of a new era, some of what caused the fall of Gator, sent some guys underground or on two wheels.

Things were starting to change and it was new and good. Ray was one of the good guys who always seemed to have a smile, a laugh.

Watch it again and then take that to the street, it was original at a time when we thought it had all been done, boards were changing, hip hop was making a move and the magazines were printing pics that didn't make no sense. It doesn't always make the best still photo.

I don't mean to sound preachy but these kids today take the skateparks for granted, any idea how many meetings were held to get them to dig that hole?? Stop with the tags or they just might fill it back in and make another law


From Ohio

Great things come from Ohio, Cows, soy and prolly some TVP, hippies know what that is.

Ohio has likely even produced some hippies, I thought I was a hippie once, turns out I was just to stoned to know the difference. I am not sure if this band was really from Ohio or if it just a name they picked for one of there albums.

Better be still and listen friend. this music is not always been heard by the masses. That is why it is good, or maybe it's not mass appeal. Not sure but it beats a whole lot of other fluff these days.

Originality equals freedom. Most Americans would not know what to do with true freedom, they might even call the police of they saw you exercising it, your freedom that is

Ode to Pit Stop


It is with sadness in my heart that I write todays post. Last night while streaming college football and working and playing around on the computer a post cam through on FaceBook from Moses who was relaying us all the news that our friend and fellow biker Robbie a.k.a Pit Stop Bob was involved in a wreck.

Thankfully it was not near as bad as it could have been and most recent reports tell me that Robbie is conscious in Mission Hospital in Asheville N.C beginning the recovery process.

I am not the best with words at times for situations like these and any thing sappy I might say I can only imagine will be returned with Bob's style of laughter and sarcasm that only he is known for.

Latest word is a front end has been sourced for the bike and we (Precision Cycles) have offered donation of time and parts to get the ol girl back on the road.

Rest up Robbie, we got that battery here waiting for you as well I need some more ink on my arm.

All the best and Gods Speed brother.

More 'Buza!!

Ok, I admit something got me on a Hayabusa kick lately, maybe its the temptation of the possibility of putting a "Busa poweplant in the Bandit this winter. I am not sure.

Finally we found some "Busa purity on ScrewTube. No flash no ass just plain moto talk. Let the wheels do the talking friends. Anyone can sit and look cool, or can they cause if you sittin you aint ridin. Am I really this much of an ass, yeah maybe, or maybe it's just easy to call out the daily roll call from behind the screen scene.

OK....the point I am tryin to make is this quick little clip right here shows how ya ride a motorcycle. You cant ride this way with a bagger. And all y'all old guys who claim these "crotch rockets" to be too dangerous....Check your facts, anything lighter, faster and and more nimble is bound to be safer, least thats what the insurance companies believe. Fewer fatal single vehicle wrecks on sport bikes. Period!

Imma go listen to Birds of Maya now....they are my new fave band. Maybe I will blog on them soon.

N DEE N

Dont ask how I stumbled onto this. I really told myself a good blog should be less on the You Tube and more on my own video. Really it boils down to me bein just too damn busy to shoot and post my own video.


And would you watch anyhow??? I mean lets admit, I have yet to get that book deal. Must be to Kerouac for them. Jack went over to the right as well. Ginsberg pissed him off and he ended up down in Florida with the rest of the right.

Guns are for Pussies

I laughed when I heard such a thing.

Thank God our founding fathers fought against the Empire with Guns

Because the South will rise again, Zombies don't care how you voted, it takes 911 an average of four minutes, Hurricanes happen, Victims that shoot back live longer, and you never know when the British might come back for their back taxes.

R1 is no match 4 BUZA!!

Tell methis is a Euroshot, gotta be....the music the accent. I dunno, I was too intoxicated to remember much of Europe. Serious, Italy was nothing more than a word on a stub.

We're getting there my faithful. Any idea what the top speed on a Buza (Hyabusa) is?? I dunno either, lets make it this weeks trivia question. Used to be a whole lot more work before the advent of Google.

We will think about tires now. Tires

Outlaws that break Laws

If you type in outlaw country on You Tube this is what pops up @ ya! Some Damn Waylon Jennings gettin props from the late great Johnny Cash.

Some punk kid told me the other day he thought Brooks and Dunn was a whole lot better than Johnny Cash!!! Lil Bastard....Quit breathin my air!!

Wasnt no one did it like Waylon, set my man up a round on the clouds. He's up there somewhere kickin off his boots and pickin on that ol Fender.

Here's to you Waylon, a true outlaw if there ever was one

Crawling Faster

We were speaking of H.P last night. How my H.P conception has changed over the last 5 plus years and how I imagine it will continue to change. Thinking of change, who decided drunks dont like change, most of us are A.D.D and we do know what that means. Maybe its those Manhatten drunks, or those small town put the plug in the jug drunks.

We will get to my judgementalness I promise

Return of the BE-Log

One year, ok, nearly one year, or approx ten months if we wish to be more exact but damn I been busy. Moving (twice) Leaving not only a job but a career behind and starting another business. Damn I could go on for a while about this and I just might. I mean that is the point of most people s blogs right?? Hoping that others have such boring and fundid lives that they will read about there otherwise boring life also.

We dont do news around here, @ least not traditional type FOX NEWS. SNOOZE. Will it make you fel any better if I told you right up front I will keep the politics to a minimum. Truly, we will keep politics to the positive. Yes Ron Paul, Yes Rand and Chuck Donovan. Little bashing I promise.

Move out of the way this time ok. Ladies and gents....the return of BIKES, DOGS, GUNS + WOMEN!!
