A couple more...

and I'm done blogging for the year.

The man I've learned from and the man I will teach...

My pop and my son a few months back.

Inpiration II...

Random pics of things that made me think:

Boats N Hoes...

Inspiration...

I right click pictures I find online when I see something that gives me an idea for my bikes. Here are some interesting pipes that I right clicked when thinking of how to route the ones on my shovel. The second one has a Spartan front end...God I love those.

A bag for me...

I love getting emails from Christian (www.xianleather.com).

Killer...

Never even seen the rest of the bike, but I could stare at this motor all day.

hahahahahaha...

Simple enough...

Mastodon...

One of favorite bands. Period. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to meet them a couple of times. Here is me and Troy Sanders at The Warped Tour a couple of summers ago.

Of course you've seen it...

But I can't get enough of Jeff's bikes.

Merry Christmas!!!

A hope all of you have a good day with your families. Enjoy the time away from the grind and eat some good food.

When you get drunk...

Forget that you own clippers. Seven weeks of beard and hair growth found its way to my sink last Friday night because after a few high gravity beers, I thought it would be cool to have a mohawk.

Lion Motor Dromes...

I have seen "Wall of Death" acts and have done the whole "hand the rider a dollar" while he circles around the barrel boards on a small motorcycle, but I knew nothing of this until a picture was posted on the Jockey Journal a few days ago. I had to see more.

Apparently there were also "Lion Motor Dromes" back in the day too. Lions riding shotgun on bikes and carts while the driving loops ass around the inside of a 90 degree walled board track...that's nucking futs!!!

I pulled this pic from Sam Morgan's Thrill Arena website. She posted a lot of information regarding "motor dromes," board tracks, and "thrill arenas." There is info on the "lion motor dromes" too...That shit is cooler than cool.

Sam died on April 24th of this year.

My desktop...

My desktop background consists of this goosenecked Shovel. I have no idea where I got the pic or who built it, but it sho' is purty.

CCE Ironhead drag bike...

Dick Allen...

If anyone has read about the history of choppers or even watched the documentary that Jesse did about it, then you know the story of Dick Allen. Well, here is my favorite pic that I have ever seen of him. Check out the extra gas tank on the sissy bar.

A Harley in cafe clothing?

Another one I snagged from somewhere. I think this bike has a clean style and looks like it would be a blast to ride.

More of the Harman below...

I posted that pic of the digger and decided to go nab the rest of the pics of it as well as the pic of it's current resting place.

Someone please buy this for me.

One of my favorite bikes ever...

I hope Jeff (Church of Choppers) doesn't mind that I posted this pic up. This bike just "does it" for me. Truly badass.

Genny Shovel...

Dragstews over on the Jockey Journal posted this picture a couple of weeks back. I asked him about it and he said he has had it since '67. Man, one day I can only hope to have something that cool for that long.

Crazy Digger...

I love this bike...it just screams badass.

Apparently it's hanging in the rafters at Executive Choppers as just a frame/tank/rear wheel. If I won the lottery I would restore this thing...especially that Shovster.

Does anyone read this?

I know my updates are few and far between, but does anyone actually read my ranting?

Post some comments or something if you do. Come on, you old motorboatin' son of a bitch!!!

Harley for Sale...

The Softail at the top of the page is for sale if anyone actually reads this site and is interested. email me at jarrod.crisp@gmail.com for details.

Xian Leather...

Christian is my homeboy. He tooled this rocking chair for my dad this Christmas. His work is second to none. www.xianleather.com

Irish Rich...

I haven't posted in almost a month, but I need to get this out there.

Irish Rich is the man. This dude is knowledgeable, friendly, and has been around to see a lot of things happen as far as motorcycle history.

He has a blog up now called Homage, and it gives a little history of the people that he respects in the industry.
