blasted down to columbus the other weekend, beautiful,crisp fall day. Stopped in Mt. Victory on my way back at this old service station. I have a thing for old Gulf memorabilia. Good 200 mile day in sunny 40 degree temps, prolly the nicest day of riding left this year.

Thanks

As some of you know, my Ironhead digger, the Chickenhead, is no longer 'mine', but rather Nick'S (from this blog) now. I am wrapping up a complete re-do on the old girl, and this is where I'm at. After a LOT of bondo dust and sore fingers, the frame and tins have all been dipped in some glossy PPG goodness. Will be adding some Jeff McCann style gold leaf scroll work and a bit of pinstriping to tie it all together.

Often times I become discouraged with life, chopper people & motorcycles in general. I mean let's face it bikes have a way of bringing you to low lows & high highs. Add the internet people who are into motorbikes and it can become maddening if you allow it. Its then I recall the great interweb gift of the Goggle image search.... Instantly your feelings of inadequacy, silliness or pride can be wiped away when you see some of the things that make the top 10 of your search.... Behold

are this weekend, hitting the road early Saturday morning, which should put us @ camp early afternoon, and hopefully allow us some time to go canoe-ing! Oregonia is ALWAYS a good time, and one of the last good weekends to camp out before it gets chilly. Come celebrate my Dirty 30th b-day, along with damn near everyone elses... Hillclimbs are Sunday @ 1:00, but get there early to check out all the cool bikes in the parking lot!

Our buddy Justin from Illinois lost his fight to survive from his bike wreck last nite. His witty humor will be missed and please keep his family including four kids in mind w/ your prayers or thooughts. I know I posted these pics of his bike a year or so ago but this was Justin and his XS. A creative bike I loved to watch him build. Hopefully more info soon of ways to raise money to help those kids out. Ride in peace bro and all you friends who random this blog ride safe.

We like to joke about suicide wheels but none of us really wanna go out like that, we're just poking a little fun at the people who don't understand our hobby. If you've been around motor bikes enough you at least know someone who's gone down or gone down yourself.
Our friend Justin went down this weekend and is in pretty bad shape so we're asking our SW friends and readers to pray, send good thoughts or whatever it is you do on behalf of our buddy Justin.

A word to the “hard core”

2011-06-10T11:03:00.002-05:00

I’ve noticed a trend of people having a skewed idea of what it means to be “hard core” in this day of period correct resurgence. Be it biker, skater, punk or whatever the view of what being hard core is has gotten blurry and phony. Let me be the first to admit that I’m guilty if having this view for a lot of years and turning myself into something that I wasn’t and the people closest to me hated.

I feel like most people now think being hard core means this: You have to hate everything that doesn’t fit into your world or ‘lifestyle’ (chopper guys have to hate rubs/bagger guys) people who aren’t like you are dumb, and people who want to be are posers. You have to be a hard ass, be ready to tell a punk to fuck off if he looks at you, and beat him down if he doesn’t like it. Feelings are for girls and ‘bros’ are just dudes you know. If you disagree with how someone lives you’ll tell them quick but they better not tread on you, and fuck the man!

Well that’s a bunch of bullshit I was wrong and if you think this way so are you.

Dictionary.com defines what I’m talking about as…

–adjective

Unswervingly committed; uncompromising; dedicated: a hard-core fill in the blank

Let me help you with this:

Unswervingly committed:

You live your life committed not only to your bike or board, but to your family and real bros. You treat your wife like she’s the queen of your world and could do no wrong, and your kids like the center of your universe. You have a group of friends that are real brothers. Guys you’d drop what you’re doing and drive for hours to pick up on the side of the road because they’d do it for you and they are really like brothers to you. Not the kind that’s bought with a patch or you think you deserve cause you ride a two wheeler too. You’re committed to riding because you love it, miles clear your mind and when you’re on the road you, the machine and the yellow line become one entity. Cliché as it is, the destination is second to the journey.

Uncompromising:

This one is hard for people to get. You live for the things mentioned above and you don’t want to be tread on and told you’re living wrong because it’s different or not status quo. You reserve judgment because, who are you to judge or worry about the cat who’s riding the bagger with 26” rims in his licensed gear? That’s his deal. You don’t really care what others are doing because you’re busy ruling your world. Truth and honesty reign, you don’t want to be bullshited and when you mess up you say so like a man no matter how bad it is.

Dedicated:

Your family and friends top your list and you check that ego at the door. I’ve never met a man I considered hard core who was on the offensive end of a fight. These people protect their family, friends and property and aren’t “soft” as it were but they have to be pushed to the last option before handling their business because they know, you never really win. When your friends or family need you, you’re there for them day or night and they know how you feel about them all day every day. Love like tomorrow isn’t coming because it just may not.

You see, in the end being hard core is being true to yourself and what/who you love. The real you not the you that society, the news, Hollywood or anyone else says you should be but the person you really are when no one is looking and your guard is down. Keeping your guard up may save you short term pain but in the end you’ll destroy all that’s close to you if you don’t let them in. Miles and attitude don’t make the man, the most hard core of people are also the most meek and humble of people.

Last week I split for places East , here's a rundown of how it went

TWT World headquarters, Mike and his wife opend their house to my kid and I and the had High Life on hand. Can't thank them enough for their hospitality.

Traversed the Empire State from southerly most to near northerly most points with about 300 miles of 2 wheel action sprinkled in.

3 days of no internet and very limited cell signal will remind you what's really important in life, face to face real life conversations with loved ones.

High Life taste better when shared.

Stood on the edge of Lake Ontario and watched the sunset (when's the last time you watched it happen?) Life becomes exponentially more simple as it goes down.

Met a Crazy Canuck in Buffalo for lunch and bro hugs

Me and McKinley are headin to upstate NY gonna see TWT Mike for some hospitality and return his wayward Triumph. So here's one of my barely famous, extra foolish, blog posts to tide my faithful readers over.

No maps were harmed in the taking of this photo, however one chicken, one hog and some potatoes sacrificed for the cause.

Next year's NBI will include more hay bail stunts and less intersection stunts...

Speaking of Georgia and Knuckleheads

Just making sure you're paying attention... I love the matching shirt idea though

Uhh.... If you sew this on you should be willing to go first!

I don't think he's gonna stick it

Are there really women who will sew this on their clothes??

That last one was a rhetorical question; of course there are.

Ok, ok enough's enough. Summer is finally here and I'm gonna make up for rainy days this week. Thanks for reading my stupid ass posts. With any luch blogger will take another giant shit and wipe this from your memory

~~Rant~~ Observation

Maybe it's the interwebs, maybe it's me getting older, but it seems like any level of buffoonery has become acceptable to pass off as biker antics as long as you have tattoos (usually shitty ones), some kind of nickname (gay ones seem to be the rage) and some "fuck off" type message either sewn into your vest or painted / engraved on your bike.

Don't get me wrong I'm all about riding fast and hard, loud pipes, burn outs and drinking until I fall over but that's just what happens. Some of the stuff I see seems almost planed out and even scripted for the sake of gaining some sort of "stature"... Want respect? Be who you are when you're not being video'd for the biker blog.

Don't matter if you're wearing leather, flannel, skins or latest rad blog T-shirt this is what you look like
