Live vicariously through this dude

A buddy sent me this video recently. Fuck. If you ride bikes it sends chills down your spine.
If you don't ride bikes just trust me on this one: go get one. You'll never be as cool as Shinya Kimura but there's still a lot to live for.

Proud Owner

Look who's the proud owner of a 1970 Vespa Piaggio P200.

After some time all lonely in a work shed, this little bandit has been rewired, finely tuned, and barely washed. Clocking in a smooth 55 MPH ole Vespiano makes for one classy scoot.

photobooth faces

I have so so many of these photo's that this thread will last for a long time. enjoy.

Friends

Whiskey River Don't Run Dry…

Ten years ago. Greensboro, NC. Whiskey River Party. Entry was a bottle of you know what. Attraction was a river I made with about $25 worth of junk from a gardening store on Battleground. Cheap fun, good friends, memories to last a lifetime.

This is where you go to break your fear of heights

 His future baby would see this photo at some point and say "my dad was awesome back in the day"

Chow time 

Some homegrown campfire fireworks. Cool water pushed into a gallon of hot grease.

Sweet double exposure fireball

This could almost be a photo of a hobo's sheltered up trainside out west.

The Good Times

Just a glimpse

I've started scanning and compiling old photobooth pictures from my old record store. Here is a taste test of what you will be seeing. Not for the squeemish.

Mt. Sterling

Mt. Sterling trip back in 2007. Sick times.

A milestone. Celebrated with rivers, rivers of bourbon, oceans of beer, and the soothing sound of gunplay. With a grand finale in the biggest (and best) little city. Happy Birthday.
