BLAST FROM THE PAST1

ROCKY FOUND THIS TODAY,AROUND 2004,BUILDING MY FIRST MINNESOTA BIKE. IT WAS A BITCH OF AN IRONHEAD,BUT THAT MAGNETO DID ME RIGHT,CHARGING/POLARIZING/ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS GALORE.BUT THE MAG ALWAYS GOT ME HOME.MOST OFTEN WITH NO LIGHTS,JUST BLASTING DOWN THE HWY AND THRU THE CITY. HYPER-EXTENDED SPORTSTER KNEE DAILY. FINALLY JUST PARKED ON HILLS.. KINDA FUNNY THE BIKES THAT GIVE YOU ENDLESS GRIEF ALWAYS GET YOU HOME

WOOOOOOOOOOOW....

AM I ALONE ON THIS ONE?

SWING ARM

ROB MERTZ

I USED TO SKATE THE O.C. METAL WITH THIS DUDE. TOTALLY RIPPING. STOLE THIS FROM FRACTURED SECONDS BLOG. DUDE HAS SOME KILLER PIX.

BRIDGE TO BABYLON

WHEN I WAS A "GUTTER METAL HEAD" IN FRISCO I HEARD LOTS OF SPUN TALK ABOUT HOW THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE WAS DESIGNED BY A FREE MASON-O.T.O. ARCHITECT,THE BRIDE IS AN ANTENNA TO THE SPIRITS AND VIBE'S FROM THE "OTHER" SIDE. KINDA LIKE THAT BUILDING IN GHOST BUSTERS. A RIVER RUNS UNDERNEATH THE BAY ALONG THE GOLDEN GATE... THE RIVER? BABYLON.. ANYWAY I WAS HOMELESS LIVING THERE,ONE DAY I SAW THE FRISCO HELLS ANGELS BLAST PAST ON THE GOLDEN GATE,AND I SWORE SOMEDAY I WOULD MAKE THAT RIDE. SOON MAN,SOON....

JOSH KURPIUS

EVERY ANGLE OF THIS BIKE REVELS SOMETHING NEW. HELL YEA,S!!

ALL ROADS LEAD TO HOME.

IT'S THE PATH YOU TAKE...

Holy shit!!

wolf nose,bow tie.. lovin it!

VINTAGE MOTO X

I RODE SOME 70'S 2 STROKE SUZUKI'S A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AGO AND I'M HOOKED. THE EARLY SWING ARM SUSPENSION WORKS GREAT,IT HAS A LITTLE SIDE SIDE ACTION AND YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THE TRACK. SURE.. I CAN CATCH AIR EASIER AND GO A LITTLE FASTER ON A MODEREN BIKE,BUT IT'S WAY COOLER BEING ABLE TO HANG ON A OLDER BIKE. THIS ERA IS WHEN MOTO X WAS IN IT'S INFANCY. NOTHING WAS PROVEN,JUST LOOK AT THEIR SAFETY EQUIPMENT... TO ME THIS IS WHEN IT WAS PURE. JUST GETTIN RADICAL MAN...

ON THE NOD...

I LIKEY..

WEIGHT..

TWIN CITIES HISTORY

SMITH & FETROW

the "CULT HOUSE"

OWNED BY THE DUPONT FAMILY IN PA.

ACID BATH

DOOM/SLUDGE/BLACK/DEATH . THESE DUDE'S ARE FROM NEW ORLEANS AND WERE IN THE GREAT SOUTHERN SLUDGE MOVEMENT IN THE EARLY 90'S. THEY PLAYED WITH EYEHATEGOD,BUZZO*VEN AND OTHER LEGENDS. SAMMY DUET STARTED GOATWHORE AFTER THIS BAND AND FINALLY SOME OF THESE GUYS HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME SUCCESS. BUY THEIR SHIT,SUPPORT UNDERGROUND MUSICK!!!

NOW A WORD FROM YER HOST.

F.T.W.

GHOSTLINESS.

CHRIS ALIVE AND WELL

IT'S ALL GOOD!

X-WINOS

ROLLIN OUT.

TEAM HATE

STONER HANDS OF DOOM 10

IF YER ON THE EAST COAST CHECK IT OUT,IT WILL LOW YER MIND!!

MUSIC MONDAY!

CHECK OUT COUNT RAVEN. THEY WERE FORM IN THE LATE 80'S WAY BEFORE THE 4TH WAVE OF SABBATH INFLUENCED BANDS OF TODAY.

BE FORWORNED!!

THIS WEEKEND WE WERE PROTECTED AND CURSED BY THE CHOPPER GODS. THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. CHRIS'S SHITTY RISER'S COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AT 65 MPH. DO NOT BY SHITTY MOTORCYCLE PARTS!!! ALWAYS CHECK THE QUALITY OF PARTS!! WE TOOK IT FOR GRANTED,AND CHRIS ALMOST PAID WITH HIS LIFE!! LUCKELY HE MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. THESE WERE CHEAP ASS "ZINCO" RISERS. THAT'S WHY THE VINTAGE PARTS ARE WAY BETTER THAN SOME NEW BULLSHIT CRAP. MANY SAFE MILE'S AND SMILE'S TO YOU ALL!!!

200 MILES IN 12 HOURS. "DAY OF RECKONING"

SO ME AND ANGELO START OUT AROUND 8 AM. MEAN AS SNAKES.

MEET UP AT DIAMOND DAVES.

AS ALWAYS,ADMIRING HIS CHOPPER GLORY. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THE CHOPPER GODS WERE FROWNING UPON US THIS DAY.

I LOVE STICKERS,SO DOES DAVE.

WE FINALLY GET GOIN AND CHRIS ALMOST DIES.

HEY MA!!

NO HANDLEBARS!!

WE DEAL WITH THIS ROAD SIDE FIX FOR HOURS. ANGELO KEPT LAYING IN A DITCH,THEN I REALIZED HE LOOKED LIKE A DEAD BODY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,AS DID THE PEOPLE WHO DROVE BY. MORE MOTORISTS STOPPED THAN BIKER'S. BIG DOG'S AND GOLDWING'S BLASTED PAST US.

BACK ON THE ROAD,PARANOID.

THIS CAT STOPPED,HUNG OUT TILL THE JOB WAS DONE. WE THINK THIS DUDE WAS A GUARDIAN ANGEL SENT FROM THE CHOPPER GODS. AS HE MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED AFTER WE FIXED EVERYTHING. I'M SURPRISED HE SHOWED UP ON FILM.

ALMOST THERE. ANGELO'S BIKE CAME IN HANDY,BLASTING TO GET PARTS IN RECORD TIME.

ARE WE THERE YET,OVER THE SHOULDER PIC.

FINALLY WE MEET UP WITH THE X-WINO'S. AT PAUL'S AWESOME BIKE SHOP.

GRINGO,MAN OF THE HOUR'S. HE WAITED TILL WE GOT THERE. THEN THEY SPLIT. WE DIDN'T GO,HAD TO FIX MORE SHIT AT PAUL'S SHOP.

PAUL AND GRINGO HELPING OUT.

PAUL'S SHOP. HE LET US USE WHATEVER WE NEEDED TO GET CHRIS'S BIKE ON THE ROAD. RIGHTEOUS DUDE.

FINALLY WE START BACK TO SAINT PAUL. ALOT OF OTHER MECHANICAL DIFFICULTY'S PLAGUED US,LIKE DAVE REBUILDING SOME OF HIS MAGNETO IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT,CHRIS'S BATTERY DIEING. ME BEING UP FOR 40 HOURS AND BURNT I DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYMORE PICTURE'S. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A CRAZY DAY,I HAD FUN. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,PAYING CHOPPER DUES. I GOT TO HANG OUT WITH MY FRIEND'S RIDING OR SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT'S ALL APART OF THE EXPERIENCE. MY SHOVEL RAN LIKE A TOP,WHICH I AM GRATEFUL FOR. IT WAS A GOOD DAY!!!
