Middle-ing

So this is what its come too, late night in a motorcycle shop pondering and praying how to have my cake and it too. One has two potential business ventures on the line, existing and startup, both with the numbers to be fun, profitable and life changing. Only now has it come clear that two investors seem to be at friendly odds with one another and I left in the middle. Ever recall that song Monie in tha Middle? I dont know if you do but if you dont here it is. HAHA! No I dot expect you to endure all that, though it does have that old school harmony, horns were big back then. Rap declined when horns were took off the stage I tend to be a middle guy for sure

Allegiance

Ok....we are going all over the place here with the music i know, and I would hate to lose one of our 3 readers. I type to be a typist. Workin on getting out a littel more, smile a little more and laugh a lot more. Of course this may not feel like no happy go lucky hippie style horse shit but the wife is as I type working on getting her hair in dreads. I seen punk rock style dreads and hippie style dreads. She appears to be working toward some hippie thing I dont know. Good thing Im all right with hippie chicks, I am married to a sorta one. Anyhoo. this shit damn wore my stereo out back in the day, the old dual cassette Soundesign that was mounted on top of the halfpipe. Pretty legendary shit right here.

the ma-cheen

I got high, this is some real music by true artists. Gillian is starting to show her age but her classy self as always. I spose Rawlings may have out some years on her. pretty awesome stuff none the less. This concludes todays musical lesson kids. Turn off yer radio

Adams

So I was streaming some Americana that I love so much at work today. Its good to keep the vibe mellow yet the output high in my experience, anyhow, I got this stuck in my head, so here it is so you can to Because North Carolina knows how to get it done y'all

Re-Start

OK,,,,,,we r going to get to work here real soon today, I promise, finally got that part I needed to finsh off that one lil job, and I got several others to go as well, good things for a cycle shop at the end of November. the mild climes have helped our cause, as well we got a ton stack of bikes for sale, been stocking up inventory as tis the season to get the deals. We love you, we really do and hop ewe keep on blogging, I need to learn Wordpress for the shop blog. Yeah keep on blogging, I finally bought me a new wallet, camel hide, sposed to last for years, I will let you know

Yep.....still here

HAHA! If you knew me, I mean really knew me and what I been up to lately you would get a big kick out of this. Bet you didn't know I spent a bit of time on Dead tour huh. B.J.D when it was real

Tom Waits Looks Like Me

I know I said I wasn't going to post nothing but my own videos but.....



Just to let you know I am still around

Jump On That

Really been letting the old self go lately, too much time on the Internet, too many dreams left being unfulfilled. Yeah, I can talk a good game but you know, there is some shit to get done and I aint makin it happen.

I have put myself on hold for far too long, left myself behind. Damn there is some cool shit out there to happen in this time.

From here out videos are to only be self produced, I mean.....you could watch this shit yourself right? Otherwise I gotta assume you are only here to listen to my bitching whining and moaning. You do realize you can leave comments yeah.

Were movin, separate directions, some shit has really got to give. My heart is no longer in A.A, my heart is left little in motorcycles, and my heart is left little into much of anything I once gave a shit about. It's time to reconnect with me. Just me

waters fine

But this shit is even cooler. Some folk have asked me lately about my skateboarding past, and / or present. Yes, skateboards are a gift to humanity. as a young teenager, it was not all that cool to be a skater in hickTown Ohio. so whats a small group of kids to do. Skate like hell, name your loose knit no rules team HickTown and skate where ever we could.

Pools were mostly in a magazine, we had a loose conection of half pipes and various other skate devices scattered throughout Ohio and we were punk ass lil kids.

A couple of the old guys featured here are lucky to be alive, well....I guess we are all lucky to be alive. Real nice video for todays post, though I never understood the "Look a camera! lemme give it the middle finger and make a goofy face!" Little over done my man, otherwise pretty cool stuff here today

JFA DAY

Panty Dropper

Let's dispell a few myths here shall we. Good, listen up. Owning a bike does not give you instant lay me powers over every woman who sees you, OK! It does not mean you must trot out to the nearest leather wholesale emporium to load up on low grade black leather to show off at the nearest watering hole this Friday night. Trust me, we know if your leather has seen the miles, or it has yet to be paid for on next months visa bill.

If you are bald, please stay that way, there is nothing cool about bald dudes with the old mullet in a little pony tail, matter of fact it looks downright absurd and when you walk away we all say so. Not that we wouldn't say so directly to your face, we just have better fish to fry, understand!

In addition, it is a very high probability that the girl in this photo is getting paid at the end of the day or the end of the rally, likely in cash and likely she will be heading back to work as a semi-professional cheerleader or hawking free energy drinks at the next rice burner, low rider fiesta-thon. She may not even know a damn thing about bikes.

Now I get it, your pissed you worked away your best years and got really no where so now you would like to somehow relive that, that's OK, like I said, I get that part, trouble is, we are wondering why you don't, get it that is.

Politics

Yeah, War pretty much sucks, here is my vote for an alternative to invading Iran




Everythings good here

Danforth

Were going way back right here



Motherfucking Bill Danforth! Thats some old school shit right there yo.

You wish you were as cool as Danforth, you wish

Martin Luther King

Dr. King was pretty much a bad mother fucker if there ever was one. And just because I dog Yota's, Marlboro Reds and other cool country shit. I got a whole other side to me as well.

Some guy is a pretty cool dude ya know. He is a multi cultural fun loving guy.

This ones for you Dr. King. I never had one of these in my truck window like some other guys, but thats because I'm some guy. Some guy is to damn cool for that shit, he has longhorns and shit on his truck

Thanks Dr. King.

Snow

Looks like the first real snow of the year out there. By "real" I mean I dont think we will be seeing any grass in the morning.

Facebook updates by my friend Kelly who is apparently sitting at home next to his scanner reveal multiple pileups on Balsam and elsewhere. North Carolinians are a real funny bunch when it comes to the white from the sky stuff.

I have seen whole regions shut down for nothing more than a 1/4 inch. Good excuse to lay out though if ya want it I spose.

Side Saddle

Because we don't want you to feel like we forgot about you.



That right there's for you sweetheart, when ya tired of straddlin' but still need a ride.

Nawth Cackalacky

So I don't recall doin any skateboard posts lately. Typically I do some old DTS stuff or something when I do, however, this stuff is pretty cool.

I could do without the new school tracks but other than that, a quick search for a quick post. Whats not to love about Cackalacky.

that is all for now

WRONG!

Yeah these fucks been wrong for so long everyone thinks they are right. Me, personally, I am just flat out disgusted by these assholes. What is more depressing, that this is what we the people trot out as the best brightest options for a potential new President? Or that we the people actually sit and listen to these douche bags as if they have something new and interesting to say. Yeah I know....I have stood firm behind Ron Paul, and I will continue to do so but mother fuck you assholes. Is it really that hard? Is there really anyone better, more consistent, more qualified? NO!

Then why the hell is he left out of media coverage, left out of debates, made to look like a troublemaker. God damn I can't go into all that right now. Yes, I am cursing a whole bunch right here, yes, Like i said I am a judgemental ass, I admit it, that is the first step. Fuck you Romney

Told ya

We would be posting some more cool shit.




That right there, thats pretty hot

Remember the Titans

Yeah, I haven't had much energy left for the blg, at least not for long thought provoking world changing posts or nothing like that.

Watched this on ABC Family tonight, I was set all day on watching the Cotton Bowl then realized it wasn't on till tomorrow night.

Anyhoo




Thats a good one for wrapping up the Bowl season huh. More motorcycles to come, I promise

Late night Cereal

Yeah, there are times when i just don't sleep. It's like....fall asleep for an hour or two, wake up, try not to be awakr, give in to Cheerio's, sports highlights and blogging. I mean....It's 3AM and fugging 14 degrees or some shit outside.

They say today is supposed to get up near 50, that sounds more like it for winter in Carolina. I have also avowed to get me a new bicycle. I will let you now what I get but I spose it's high time I start biking it most places. I mean....I do live inside the city limits...eerrrr.....town line of a place with 3,500 people, give or take



I think I may be old enough now to start riding three wheels again

Honduki

Alright, lets get down to custom bikes, for the record first and foremost I dont't care what Paul Jr. is building. You heard Jesse James comment on it. "It's bolted and glued together with parts off a truck" And though he won the build off....well it just goes to show that most folks will buy whatever the hell you try and sell 'em.

So right now you might be saying, "What the hell has some guy built?" Good question, no it is not the bike featured here though I may have had a wet dream about something similar once. I (WE) have been building all sorts of coll mods and other assorted riff raff, trouble is I have'nt taken the time to show that off. And unlike some other folks I aint pullin the bed sheet off the Bandit or the CB till it's done...kapeesh!

Anyhow.....check this shit out



And here is what the educated have to say.

The best custom motorcycles have a coherent look—a visual balance and flow that literally stops the traffic. And the modifications should perform on the road as well as in front of the camera. So this bike, a mix of Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki parts from different eras, shouldn’t work. But strangely, it does—and very well too.
