End of the Road

Well, the Braha 2000 Roadtrip finally came to an end Monday.

I posted a big long conclusion and some photos over on Chop Cult and am just too lazy to do it all over again on here.

Check it here.

Slab City Riot Trophies

BF Josh had the brilliant idea of getting these little Avon decanter lids painted up as trophies for the Riot this weekend. The classes are simple, we're going to pick three bikes we like, be they Jap, HD, Brit, whatever and each one gets a little helmet as a momento. We might even fill 'em up with some Old Spice if we can find any. Big thanks to Jaymes at Blue Moon Kustoms for spraying on the flake and his buddy Calico for striping 'em up.

Slab City Riot Route

View Larger Map

Here's a map to Slab City from Temecula, and here's a link to the ROUTE.

San Diego dudes, note the link up points where the 76, 78 and 79 meet up. If you feel like riding with us but not going all the way north, just estimate the time it'll take us to get to those intersections and meet us along the way.

Pre-Party get together 6:00PM till whenever, Friday Night at Sweet Lumpy's. Note new address on 3rd St.

We are leaving the Swing Inn at 8:00AM on Saturday morning.

Weather looks nice and clear. We'll cook up a bonfire after dark to kill the chill.

See you then!

Bitchin' Camaro Fail

Saw this dude high-centered tonight at Lowe's.

No idea how he got on there but he was still trying to figure out how to get some traction and get off the planter when I came back out.

Nice work, cool guy!

Windows of Opportunity

Jim sent in these pics of his Sporty rocking the new 4130 Chromoly Window Bars.
Not a ton of mods to this bike, but look how clean it is.
Nice work Jim, and thanks for the pics.

Happy 234th Birthday

Happy B-day to all you jarheads out there.
This pic came from our friend "Coach" who's deployed with the 11th MEU right now.
Stay safe Devil Dogs.

Rider Down

We left the Old Mill in San Quintin this morning, hauling balls out the seven miles of sandy dirt road to get back to the highway and onward to Ensenada, the final stop of the trip. Keegan took off a little early and wadded it up over one of the bigger bumps in the road. He's OK. Thankfully he was wearing a Bell Moto3 helmet, boots and a jacket. Otherwise it would have obviously been much worse. He's pretty bruised up and has a couple small scrapes but is otherwise fine. So lucky. This pic was snapped just a minute or two after I rode up on him and found him sitting on his bike just like this on the side of the road. Keegan is a great guy and it sucked to see him choke on an extra large slice of humble pie like this, but I'm really glad he's alive and not hurt much worse. The Sporty, well, it's not so fortunate.

BANANA SEAT FITMENT TEST MULE NEEDED

Attention SoCal Sportster owners: We need to get our hands on a pre-rubber mount (86-03, if memory serves me) H-D Sportster in essentially stock trim from the tank back: stock rear fender, stock seat (Hugger, Lowboy or otherwise), etc. for fitment testing on our new Banana Seat. We did this with Chris from Blue Collar Moto a couple months ago, and now we have a second generation of this seat. If you're coming to the Biltwell pre-party this Friday the 13th and you own a bike that meets our requirements, please come to Biltwell HQ any time between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. What we've got to do won't take a half hour tops, and there's a free t-shirt and some stickers in it for you. If more than one guy shows up, we'll pick the most stock set-up and use them as the test mule. If you're willing to volunteer, please email  me. Thanks!

The only riding I did today was on a nice loaner 9'0" longboard...
