Sunday Mass Hosted by ESMB
After the shoot with Shaik Ridzwan, I finally made it to a Sunday Mass event at Deus ex Machina in Venice Beach.

The 535lbs felt somewhat low centered making it not overly heavy, and had good height. Again, I’m stoked to see manufacturers bringing retro/classic motorcycles back into the mix.

Aprilia RSV Split in Half
An Aprilia, split in half, on display at the Boijmans Rotterdam Museum in the Netherlands.
This is what your site looks like on all my devices except my phone. I have noticed that a number of tumblrs look the same way. Seems that a number of those are using the brutal simplicity theme (whatever that is). Opened it this morning and it looked great. This afternoon it’s back to crap.Not to worry however runcible spoons have not kept me from perusing all posts. Just wondering if it’s only me or has anyone else been experiencing this for about the last week? A barely computer literate follower –… Continue Reading »
