chopper bike mods

2006-05-21T19:20:00.000-07:00

Well its been a while since the old chopper bike has been on here. Lets say its gone threw some changes. As you can see it still sports its insane ape hangers! I just changed the vibe a bit with new paint some new decals, an original 60's schwinn badge, a new front wheel and a few things to add some old school flavor! (you can see what it looked like before in the 2nd post on this blog) custom touches: big bell- makes a ding dong type sound. 44.mag pedals- real but shorter 44.mag bullets. handelbar skull-just looks really cool and made of real bone! front wheel-slightly larger and a sweet white wall tire. awsome decals-bitchen pin-ups and a wolf to ride on the back fender. Spring seat-did away with occ sting ray seat for an more kick ass spring seat. Schwinn badge- its off an original crate grey ghost I think its the bomb!!

The Mack

2005-12-08T00:28:00.000-08:00

Check it out folks the big Mack. My buddy Jim gave me this and I owe him big time. Good things will come his way I'm sure! He found it laying by a dumpster how cool is that. I thought it would be cool on top my Marshall and he said here bro its yours. Very cool meant a lot. So that's where it now sits one Mack on another, Billy lane style bitches!!!! Here our some photos enjoy (the 800's back):note the bullet strap an olb staple

THE DEREK TRUCKS BAND

2005-12-03T12:08:00.000-08:00

last night I went to see the Derek trucks band. I got there very early and was about 4th in line to get in to the venue. I instantly ran center stage my hands where on the stage the stage only came up to a little over my waist. Derek's super reverb was just inches away he was even closer, at any time I could have reached out and touched him. The show was insane beyond anything I could have imagined and I have seen them before. May be it was because I was right there It was crazy. At times it felt like he was ripping on me personally but he was ripping on everyone. The show was one of the best I have been to It was so powerful in fact I felt no one would believe me about it. At the end of the show I went out and stood by the bus and all members of the band except kofi were on board and signed my newly bought Live at the Georgia theatre. great night

The world is a strange place

2005-11-14T18:21:00.000-08:00

I know I am super late on this but last night I seen the show intervention about Travis meeks former singer for days of the new. Since he's from the hood its was really distubing learning all about his meth addiction....His last record was amazing to me at least. I dug it and I hope he gets his shit together. Speaking of getting one's shit together I really need to get on the ball right now I feel like the band has no direction and I'm not doing anything to help. We have some big prospects but It gets more out of hand daily. I had 5 new songs written and after a bunch of pratices the guys just didn't seem to care about learning them. So I threw them away know I feel like I am searching for a direction that is exciting and one that isn't over there heads. For now we work on the TV show and acoustic stuff we are supposed to be preparing for recording but it probley wont happen for awhile. We need gigs. I have a few leads on some good stuff but I don't know what the result will be? Maybe things will turn around they have before in the blink of an eye. (sorry about misspellings and stuff but I just dont give a shit)

It's here the Paul Chen katana

2005-11-03T12:29:00.000-08:00

I got home from work today and I was ready after all this time to open the box and hold the Paul Chen katana............As I removed it from its layers of protection I could see the black sword bag in the box (sword bag made from same material as a ninja suit). I then removed it, untied it, carefully pulling it out. It is indeed everything that they said and it is a real sword sharp enough to behead someone. The constuction of the katana is very good everything fits well nothing rattles.(a big problem with cheap swords)I am very happy with this sword and I will buy from them again.

Halloween I love it!!!!

2005-10-31T18:31:00.000-08:00

This Halloween was pretty cool I just stayed home for once. I started making hallow's eve prep on Saturday. 1st I made a big pot of bean soup complete with carrots and potatoes and jalapano.(jason's brew) next I bought a stash of candy snickers,twix,reese's,and tootsie rolls. Then I carved a pumpkin and made a
jack-o-latern for the stairs. Next I put on a jazz is dead CD and baked some pumpkin seeds waiting for trick or treaters. Everything was great happy Halloween!

Awaiting my Paul Chen

2005-10-30T17:32:00.000-08:00

Well, I will start this post by giving up some info about myself............At one point in my life I was really into martial arts (before becoming a guitar player supreme). I mean that's all I did train and train until I reached my goal............blackbelt perhaps, but really I just wanted to feel like I was doing something with myself that made me stronger, smarter, and a much more dangerous human, of course the latter was by default. So after studying several places I ended my training under SE fu Todd knight the white dragon and proclaimed master of the numchuckas. Which would ultimately become the weapon of choice for me..... What no one in my kung fu class knew was my 1st weapons training started with a sword...........A wooden one. I would lay and dream of having a real one in my mam maw's back yard. After a look at a mail order catalog at school I knew it was a lost cause a good katana was hundreds of dollars. Which brings us to now. I am finally in a position to get one all these years later! So a few nights ago I ordered a Paul Chen sword. They are known for being very sharp and very nice for the reasonable price. Most of all it is a real katana capable of being used the way it should be not as a wall hanger. I choose the practical pro it is really no better than the practical plus just a little longer I prefer them that way. I could get into the gory details but for now I will just say constuction materials are ok nothing special. I really just got this sword as a way of testing the Paul Chen hanwei forge's level of craftmanship. if its is what they say I will someday return to buy the katana to end all sword buying, for me a least. When it arrives I will post again with the full review and photo's.............Readers note this is the first time I have been excited about any thing that was not guitar oriented coming in the mail for a long time.

Its over I'm back...What a great time

2005-10-04T00:31:00.000-07:00

wow, for the 1st time in awhile now I got a chance to just chill and let the batteries recharge. I had a great time and the trip was very inspiring artistically.
In the great vibes of traveling I came to realize how lame and watered down everything is these days...............Then I went to see these guys and realized in this world of powder puff bullshit. Truth and instinct still exsit. These killers reminded me that if you are given tools in life they are meant to be used and often. So I know that's a broad statement so take it or leave it but the killer in me is in full swing!

Vacation is here at last!!!!!!!!!!

2005-09-24T00:34:00.000-07:00

I have been waiting so long I just have to ready my house for our angel like sitters(inlaws)pick up my rental and boom I 'm off to a time when I can rest my mind and body,have some fun and recharge. The only question should I take a guitar?(jason on vacation at the old mill....I took my guitar)

Wife....She was made for me

2005-09-24T00:10:00.000-07:00

Today was me and my wifes 2 year anniversary and I have to say I have never felt better about our marriage. She understands me just about better than anyone at this point. Which can be hard I ramble a lot about things mostly music guitars and stuff. She is also really good a putting up with my crap... Like being in a band and staying out till like 4 all the time coming home as she's getting ready for work. I really fell bad about it sometimes. But I have realized that I am really lucky to have such a great partner.

MY DECK SUCH A PAIN

2005-09-11T19:53:00.000-07:00

This deck is such a pain its stands at about 25 feet high and is on a hill........ for crying out loud. I recently paid to have it pressure washed and sealed, not because I can't do it but really what kind of psycho would? Well now it needs nails reset and some other things. So I have to bit the bullet and just do it. Well I guess there is a price to be paid for giant decks and the sort. (photo pre-washing)

rosie, my cat and ruler of the world as we know it!

2005-09-10T22:42:00.000-07:00

Here's Rosie she is a rather large cat with an obssession for gold, talking on the phone and that motor rev song. quite smart and spoiled rotton she is the apple(pumpkin)of her fathers eye

Who's responsible GOD or the devil

2005-09-09T12:38:00.000-07:00

Today life sucked at 5:30 am, I Jason crashed my car into a parked vehicle, I repeat a parked vehicle. What happened well I left my drive rode down the street about 100 feet. Looked at my clock looked up seen the car tried to brake.........It was raining the ground wet oh no.........Bam. A lady was walking her dog she came over are you ok? Yeah then she hit me with about five smart ass remarks and told me to wake the owner assuming I was going to drive away. I told her I was going to wake them or leave them a note. So I knocked on the door as I waited I felt bad that I had caused these people trouble. Finally a answer I explained to the man what happened and at that moment my 10 year record of accident free driving went down the drain.

My beach cruiser

2005-09-09T12:29:00.000-07:00

This is my beach cruiser originally I was going to turn it into a chopper but for now it stays like this. So I can ride it for long periods,I got this one for fathers day.
boy I never thought I would say that. Married with children......Four cats and one step son who would have ever thought. Someone told me the other day that I had the "married spread on" and then someone said I was as "fat as a towndog" I guess I've gained some weight. I better get to riding that bike!!!

I need a vacation

2005-08-29T19:51:00.000-07:00

Often times I am so busy I wonder how do people get to the point where they can sit and watch TV or tinker in the garage. When will I feel like I can take some time off, I guess when my goals have been completed. But until then I will be taking a week vacation in the last week of sept.(photo: Gatlinburg 2003)look at those legs.

benchmade resistor

2005-08-24T23:41:00.000-07:00

Here is my new benchmade Resistor I got this after the heartbreaking loss of my original griptilian. I don't know what happened to it but I hope we will be reunited someday. Knifes have a way of coming back sometimes. Anyway the resistor has an all steel handle with cool carbon fiber grips cut out on the side. The knife has a drop point blade where the old knife was sheeps foot. This knife is way heavier and not balanced as well. The griptilian handle was all carbon fiber and the blade was semi polished. The new knife blade almost has a gunmetal type finish. Even know I hope to find my old knife and the new one is pretty sweet.. and I ordered a new gripitian
