Excuse the delay...

I've been living, making memories, my laptop just ain't jiving and I haven't slowed down to clean it up.  I will resume the regular posts and meaningless diatribe shortly.  Until then, carry on, raise hell, and get out and ride your bikes.  Ride 'em, don't hide 'em. 

Here's some shots of some random adventures, antics, trips, and storytelling in no particular order.

Some Shots from the Weekend...

It was a pretty good weekend...I got some riding in, got to ride with some friends, the weather was awesome...basically shit was perfect until my main scoot decided to take a dump at the end of it all, but oh well, shit happens and I'll get it fixed.  

My buddy Luke came down and rode the Yamaha out to the river with me and we just shot the bull.  It was a good time just riding in 70 degree early morning weather and getting to catch up with him.  He's been working on his bike lately and is about to get the hot rod in tip top shape just in time for the best time of the year to ride.  I can't wait!!

Neal came by and hung out for a bit.  We tried to ride some but then it came a toad strangler and I turned around, I've had enough riding in the rain for a while and unless it's a must, I'm not doing it just for fun right now.  

Later in the weekend, myself, my buddy Johsh and his friend Keith all rode up to Southhaven / Memphis to meet up with ol' BDub to help escort him part of the way back home towards Alabama since he was riding solo and we were just going to ride motorcycles and drink beer anyways.  We met up at the Southhave HD dealership and they have a pretty cool bar / grill next door called The Fillin' Station.  We sat there for a few hours and had some lunch, half a dozen pitchers, and some good laughs.

Me and Josh had to swing about an hour west to go pick up Keith before heading north to Southhaven.

A shot of Keith's bad ass Maverick.  Just some minor details left, but man this thing sounds so sweet and smooth.  They just don't make 'em like this anymore. 

A dollar for the wall at the Fillin' Station. 

BDub and Josh meeting.  

At the dealer, an "Elvis Panhead."  Not sure what to think about this one, but I took a pic anyways. 

BDub found a helmet for his next big Cross Country adventure. 

 Fits him great, sunburn kind of matches the paint he choose. 

This last shot was courtesy of BDub.  We got about 10 miles out from Southhaven heading East and I had exhaust blowing out from in between my rear head and cylinder like crazy.  I rode it home approximately 200 miles + like this.  Not good, but I think it's about to get remedied.  

Day Trippin'

Start 'em Young...and a Great Birthday

I got to take little man around the neighborhood for some warm weather action on the back of the '96. He couldn't really ride on the back of the yamaha to much and that was the first thing he asked when he saw this one roll in the Moto Panic Garage.  "Daddy, it's got a sissy bar, that means I can ride right?"  I promised him a ride and it just so happened my buddy Josh was around on his scooter when I took lil' man for the short jaunt and next thing was when I looked over I saw him snapping pics with his cell phone.  I sure am glad he did because having times like this documented are absolutely priceless.  Appreciate it brother.

Although I put on a slimmer seat that my homie Luke offered up to me, lil' man's feet were still just shy of hitting the rear pegs just right.  The rule for him has been, no open roads unless you can sit firmly on the seat with both feet planted securely on the rear pegs and have a sissy bar.  I got some 10.5" shocks going on tonight and I believe that should remedy the situation and he'll be able to cruise to some short locations around the area we live on his first open road motorcycle cruise.  

This was probably one of the best birthday weekends ever.  Over the period of the last 4 days, I got to spend a lot of time riding my bikes in beautiful weather, became the owner of a Harley Davidson, hung out with my family, and celebrated with friends.  It required less sleep, but oh well, we'll sleep when we die.

Oh yeah and for the folks out there who I told that when I bought this bike that I would pull wheelies with it within the first week.  Make sure to ask Josh if I'm a liar.  The bike will definitely pull wheelies.  That was another successful accomplishment of the awesome Bday weekend.

Sunday Fun Day at the Skate Park

I had to go out of town on business for a week a couple weeks ago, so I made sure to spend as much time with the children on Sunday as possible before I split.  What better way to get out and then to spend a little time riding BMX and  skateboards.  My children definitely take after their old man though.  Skateboards are cool and all, but we are definitely better on two wheels.  Little man is killin' it on that bike for a 5 year old. 

Between me and the internet...there is about a 15 foot 70 degree drop to the right of these steps that I immediately went down on little man's bike and proceeded to slide across the cement on my ass.  The kids got great joy out of this and little man was laughing his ass off, saying "Daddy you left a big black spot on the ground, hahahahahahah!!!"

Note to self:  I gotta get the boy a free spinning crank as soon as possible.
