A Cheers excerpt

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive… Continue

Friends Helping A Friend.

Friends Helping A Friend.

For those of you who know Rodney Irons he has been a good friend to many, and a stabilizing influence in the biker community. He is also a victim of an overzealous police action to squash motorcycle clubs. He was arrested doing nothing more than being in the right place at the wrong time wearing his club colors.

Friends have set up a defenses fund to help with his staggering legal fees. To learn more and make a donation, please go… Continue

neon? Really?

Well I'm in las vegas for one more night. I have stayed relitivly sober. Which is one of the reasons that I might be seeing for the first time, the slow descent into a passable version of hell that the world (around me) is heading. And I'm pretty goddamn sure that the road on that trip will be lit by "custom bikes" that have neon under the tanks. With a sick/sweet blue glow.

I havnt seen one bike here that was dirty or could have possibly been built by a human. With their own… Continue

Where have all the top trees gone???

Ok, is it just in northeast Ohio, or does this problem plague the rest of the country? Every swap meet I go to I find a kick ass springer from the 70's and it's missing the top tree!!! And they are always something other than the standard paugho springer. You know you will never find the top tree just laying around in the $5.00 bin. Once the early 80's hit, did all the cool springers from the 70's loose their top tree's? I bet they are with all the left socks that the dryer ate. In some other… Continue

Bash Re-Cap

The Bash went off without a hitch!! I hope everybody had a good time and tells all there friends so if we decide to throw this again next year it will continue to grow. It was great seeing all my old friends from out of state and making some new ones. Only a couple crashes that ive heard of so far but no one was injured for the most part. Pics will slowly be trickling out as we remember to do so. stay tuned to see images of a great time.

Thanks
