Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro.

It’s for the motorcyclists who… Continue Reading »

Swap meet time! So much good stuff, and entertaining people. Like these fellas I met from Gassers Garage in Portland.  There’s still two days to go, and tons of cool stuff… It was raining on and off all day as we’re used to in the Pacific Northwest, so most folks had nice tents set up.  This is pretty much the epitome of “my type of place” with motorcycles, cars, leather jackets, tack, cowboy hats, old signs, all sorts of stuff.
