Caddy.


The Cimarron is such a timeless machine.
Saw a dude rolling hard in one on my way to work this morning, and it still looked just as shitty as the day it rolled off of the assembly line.

Brammo Empulse R.


In my office!

You can see it in the Powerlet booth at the upcoming Novi and Chicago IMS shows if you're there.

Hey Wes!


This is as close to the one below as I've had mine.

Maybe 2013 is my year to do it up real proper like!

Jerolamo.


Mr. Martini builds some of my favorite customs on the planet. One of these days I'll turn my Legend into something rad like this.

Taj: UGP Face Value.




I posted this clip back in '09, but I just came across it again... Every time I watch it I get taken back to '96 when 20" bicycles got a just as much (if not more) love than the motorized 2 wheelers I had back then. 

 I think I watched this video every day that summer. 

Who'd have thought this kid that grew up in a town of less than 2,000 people would know so many of the people in the credits 17 years later. 

Crazy.

Honda MSX 125.




I want one!

And we need these why???

The Hot Tug...

...and the Hot Tub Boat.

I started off searching for something to make my satellite radio bluetooth, and I clicked enough things to come a cross these things. 

The top one goes for $14k, and the bottom one is only $42k!

Emelkay.


Borrowed from the ZON.

BF 5 Show Class Peoples Champ Round 1.



I voted for #1, but I also really like #24. 

4, 9, 17, and 21 also rule.

Launch-time.


Great blog out of Japan. 

Been in the blogroll over to the right for years, but never leaves the bottom of the list for some odd reason.

Angler.


Me and my first catch. Circa '83.

Cooler than Marcel.


Could be his smarter British cousin.

Ride more.


I always knew we had pretty low gas prices compared to a lot of the world, but being able to see country by country is pretty interesting. 

January 2, 2013

Bonnevilles and such.

I'll take this one.

Snagged them all from here.

Pet peeve.


I feel like this all too often when out riding...

Happy New Year!



2012 was a great year for me personally, but was a pretty weak year for this blog. 

Check out the hits breakdown by year:

2012: 87,553 - 2011: 172,045 - 2010: 189,318 - 2009: 235,400

Hopefully 2013 will bring enough quality posts to get back to the glory days of 2009-2011.

Big thanks to all y'all that continue to follow along, and all the best in the new year!

Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann.


I stumbled across this gem while playing with my new Apple TV today. 

It's on Netflix.

I dare you to watch the entire thing.

Creep.


Helped Diesel tie up some loose ends on his flathead last night. 
It should be back on the road this weekend!

25 in 2012.



If you've been following along, you probably noticed I made some rounds this year. It wasn't my best year by far, but I did manage to scratch a few states off the list. 99% of it was work related stuff that wasn't as fun as it could have been had the Brooklyn Invitational and Born Free shows been involved, but it was better than sitting in the office nonetheless.

I'm supposed to be in Seattle right now, but thanks to the decisions of a co-worker, I'm sitting at my desk instead. That could have been another state off the list. Maybe I'll make it to Washington, Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii next year so I can have all 50 covered.

Minneapolis, Cleveland, Indy, Chicago, and Charlotte are all coming up in January and February, so if you're near any of those cities I'll see ya then!

Left Coast.


new favorite app.

I saw a bunch of rad bikes, and an awful MJ tribute 'busa.
