The topmost photo is definitely my favorite from the night, Stormie, Jada and I all kicking it being the überdorks we are.

Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro. After the event I did a mini status update with photos of the damage to the bike and myself after wrecking it twice. Now it’s time to answer the question posed to me via instagram, facebook, AND twitter: “Can you explain to me how that’s fun?” Sure… riding through mud, potholes, gravel, grass, and whatever else you happen upon is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the motorcyclists who… Continue Reading »
I posted a little intro to Stormie’s Wednesday wrench night a couple days ago, and wanted to follow up with a few pics. The motocycle version of Charlie’s Angels (above), photographed by Lanakila MacNaughton,. Left to right we have myself, Jada Noriyuki, and Stormie Ray. Stormie provided a HUGE amount of meat, Jeff Wolf manned the BBQ, and attendees were instructed to bring something NOT MEAT and that didn’t need to be cooked. Loads of bikes and a spattering of other cool cars, there is one thing all attendees have in common: they’re great… Continue Reading »
Building a bad ass motorcycle community in your region is not impossible! I get lots of messages from people saying they envy living on the West Coast, in Portland, etc because we have such an awesome group of motorcyclists and throw cool events, rides and such. Well, take it from Stormie Ray, you don’t need a huge shop or an epic ride planned. Stormie throws “Wrench Wednesdays” at her place where everyone can show up and work on their projects and put their heads together with other enthusiasts. Try throwing your own… Continue Reading »
My photography on display alongside the Saint Motor Company motorcycle/work of art “TESLA” opening night at the “2” art show at Gallery 788 in Baltimore, MD.
The Portland Alley Sweeper was kick ass… the poor borrowed XS400 suffered one close call, two low sides, a bunch of mud, broken blinker, bent headlight bucket, broken GoPro mount… and I got a sweet bruise.
Tomorrow, Sunday April 14th… the fifth annual SFRC Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro! Pancake feed starts at 8:30a, kickstands up at 10a at 633 N. Tillamook St.
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. Now, this is no surprise to most swap meet goers, but it’s… Continue Reading »
