respect

just added the 100th item to the shop. wanted to say thanks to all of the dudes that checked us out, the bunch that picked some stuff up and to the guys we have been lucky to work with for all of the support, like a big old twisted family tree that keeps on growing. its what gets me stoked more than anything else. some old friends and some that will be for sure. cheers brothers

and this thing is just getting warmed up and not even out of 1st gear.
stay on, stay true and stay tuned...

This was the shovel the day I brought it home. That front wheel is for sale(just sayin)

Ride to Skate 4, FDR skatepark, Philly 5/16/10

Ride to Skate at FDR part 4 will be happening May 16th! Flyer is in the works so keep an eye out for it. I've enlisted the help of a few comrades this time around so I dont lose my mind trying to do it all alone. I'm rounding up sponsors to donate goods & coupons for services to raffle off. I've already got quite a few excellent ones on board. 47Industries, Kickstart Cycle, Thirties Brand, Loaded Skateboards & Kilby Deuce. Shane O'Neils Infamous Tattoo donated a $200 gift cert and CLCustoms is making a killer custom leather belt to raffle off. I'm sure there will be much more on board over the next couple months. All proceeds will be going directly to the park to buy more concrete, coping & paint. I'm sure this harsh winter is fucking up the concrete for sure so we'll have our work cut out for us come spring. We will have food, plenty of room for people to bring some shit to sell or swap & most importantly live bands, rad bikes & the best fucking DIY park in the east! McRad is in for sure along with a couple other bands. I was smart enough this time to be sure there are no home games so we dont have to deal with tailgaters this time around.

I may also be having a small BBQ/ramp jam at my house the night before. My ramp is pretty fuckin small but its in my yard & I have a grill for burgers & dogs. Also, I live in Gloucester City, NJ so there is as many bars in my town as there are houses if thats your thing. There is a hotel about 100' from my house for people to crash at Saturday night & I'm about a 10 minute ride to the park so Sunday AM should be a breeze. Lets do it motherfuckers! Spread the word!

Feel free to contact me if you want to donate anything for the raffle or you have any questions and/or comments.

It'll be here before you know it

Had one of those shitty ass days in the garage the other day. You know the kind where you were further ahead before you started. But my flight and room are booked and we'll be westward bound in no time. I see some late night wrenchin in my future. Here's a broad for good measure.

a roll in the hay

Another fine bike from Classic Cycles

T-100s are pretty popular over at Classic Cycles & I can certainly see why. This sweet '66 is one of several super fine Tigers I've had the chance to work on at the shop. I was telling Dave that the more original/restored Triumphs I work on, the more I'd love to have one of my own. The best part of the day was getting to see the owner of the bike come in & see the progress we made & he was blown away. Rightfully so. Dave fired 'er up in the shop & even with the stock mufflers the bike sounds a lot meaner than you'd expect. We are waiting on a seat & a few other odds & ends before she goes home. As you can tell from the calender photo, she's pretty much dead nuts on restored to original spec.

going nowhere fast

oops

go love yourself

valentine's day is coming up fast. not sure what to get that special #1 in your life

just got some love cycles stuff in. show yourself you care... you deserve it

another day off

at 4333 florida ave

shot out the front door

ok, what about this one...

so we sit around drinking sometimes and cook up terrible ideas. terribly awesome at the time. and one of us blathered about a tee shirt idea of a snake doing a burnout, with a wheel, and wings. and someone said why would he do a burnout if he had wings. and Mike D replied, cause he can and its friggin sweet. no one argued. and from that came this. drunken ramblings into full blown art from Ryzart himself. talented rock solid dude. his tanks are nothing short of amazing too. see for yourself. thanks man

More fuckin snow

Ive had my fill and they are calling for 12 to 20 more inches of snow, in the meantime

Saw this chick on the Rivol blog. This picture has been in the bottom drawer of my toolbox for about 7 years. She always brightens my day
And Chopper Dave must have pretty good game cause he's always got some lookers posing for him.

the land of milk & honey

fofo the nomad packed up and rolled out to gods country recently. guess we have all thought about searching for a better place at one time. havent heard from him for a while until today when he said he hasnt seen too many tits on the blog and to work on that. guess it has been mostly ass for a while. well i dont do stuff that people ask me to unless i believe in it. like when his older brother asked me to go easy on him when we put on the gloves so he didnt get hurt. youre welcome for both. now take your lumps

stick em up

stickers are in and going out in every order while they last

DC memories

The past couple years in May, our good bud T.I. from the killer band King Giant & Ironhorse magazine has had a pretty sweet one night party down in DC. I love the kind of trips that are actually only about 24 hours or so but make you feel like youve been out riding for days. We take the long way & back roads down there & back & its always a great ride. The party is always a blast with tons of killer bikes from all over, rad people & great bands. Rivet also has scored us some swanky hotels the past couple years & we always seem to get to pig out on pizza at retarded hours in the early AM after the party. With all this goddamn snow we are getting, I need to keep my mind on the fact that spring is just over a month away & we should only have to suffer with this shitty weather a little bit longer. Im hoping Todd throws another event because its surely one I look forward to.

Also - Ride to skate 4 will be happening in May as well. Trying to get the date dialed & the flyer made up but its definately another event that should not be missed. Keep your eyes & ears open for details coming up in the next couple weeks.

Great Front Ends

circle of death shot taken from Warren at JR's cycle products

they have some sick little spool hubs, narrow triple trees, cool pegs and kickers. all to clean up the look and make the bike lighter for wheelies, curb jumping and mud pit racing. i made that last part up. check em out anyway

oh and Warren, her name is Hailee Rain. there you go man
