SFRC Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro Mini-Review
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.
Video: As the Sun Sets
A video about the somber feeling one gets when riding season comes to a close- when we often hold on to each last moment the sun is still kissing the asphalt and the roads are still dry. Hopping on a motorcycle after work for even the shortest jaunt can be a meditative experience. Filmed over the course of two days, I did my best to explain to Taylor what I was conveying with the footage of him riding Skyline at Sunset. Most of my explanations came out in somewhat fragmented sentences… but… Continue Reading »
The Rust Bucket BSA Project Inspiration
While I’m finishing the Monster, I’ve had a lot of things rattling around in my brain for this Rust Bucket / BSA Project of mine. Firstly, I found out it’s a 1958 BSA A7 or A10.

The Portland Int’l Raceway Auto Swap Meet
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 »
The Rust Bucket Project: Phase 1
So, I bought this early 60’s BSA frame a couple months ago from a neighbor with the intent to start working on it when the Monster is done. I didn’t post about it because I knew I’d catch a whole lot of flack from people wondering why the hell my Monster has taken so long, and why I’m picking up new projects before the first is done. But let’s face it, if you’re into motorcycles and especially customizing them… you know exactly what is going on here. It’s got a Harley rear… Continue Reading »
