Arizona/Beard Off Update

Oh, what a crazy few weeks it has been. First off, my old lady and I just got back from visiting Whips and his old lady, Mary out in Arizona. What a trip that was. Arizona is a whole world away from New York, and I gotta say at times I felt pretty out of place. Good adventures were had by all, and I even came home with a couple nice souviners, but more on that later. Right now, I have a Beard Off update for you. Its been about 4 weeks since the initial shave, and after seeing Whips' in person, its going to be a close match. Who do you think has the edge?








As for my update. I got a chance to go to Arizona to visit Whips and Mary with my old lady, Ann. We had such an awesome time. It was nice to finally put some faces to names, see some places that I had heard about, and came back with some sweet trinkits as well. I was lucky enough to get a tattoo from the guys at Satellite 13, got a solid new '845' badge for my bike, and some odd's and end's from some sweet stores in Cave Creek. Thanks again to all the guys at Satellite 13, and Whips' friend Chris who welded my badge. It was really awesome seeing my best friends again, and we had such an awesome time. Whips comes home in 9 days, and I'm as giddy as a PETA activist getting ready to throw red paint on some fur wearing people.

The Bet.... Round 2

For anyone that doesnt know, Matty and I made a bet last football season in which I, being a very big New York Jets fan, ended up having to get a tattoo of Patriot Pat just under my arm pit. Well, I dont know if Im just stupid or a hopeful, but Matty and I have made another bet. We will be getting our arch rivals depending on who wins when the Jets and Patriots meet for the second time in the season.

What Matty must get if the Pat's lose.


What I must get if the Jets lose

Bike of the day

Saw this awesome dyna at school last week. Its an 06 fxd35 35th anniversary superglide, with an awesome paint job which is a throwbrack to 1971 superglide which was the first year of them. Its got an awesome set of 12inch west coast tbars, pcii and a good looking thunder header. This bike makes me think one thing, I gotta find a new top triple tree for my bike so I can get a set of 14inch tbars.

Getting back on the horse

Beard Off

Its been so long since I put a post on here. My bike has been out of commission for about a month and a half now, so I found very little inspiration to write. Well, Whips came home about 2 weeks back, and him and Matty decided they needed to have a beard off. We had a huge BBQ, and after lots of food and lots of beer, it was time for some shavin. Heres a before and after taken by the wonderful Ms Tay Jardine. Whips is on the left and Mattys on the right.


Well, we all decided that they would do bi-weekly updates to see each ones progress and the winner will be declared in a year at the start of The End of The World Tour 2012. They shaved 2 weeks ago, so it is time for an update

New seat...again

After my accident I was able to replace my old seat with this awesome la pera king cobra seat. This is probally one of the most comfortable seats I have ever ridden, and its not even broken in yet. Now I'm just waiting for the check from the insurance company so I can build my new sissy bar.

Bike of the day

Todays bike of the day is dereks 84 fxr with an s&s 113 cubic inch. At first glance I'm sure  most folks just think of sons of anarchy, and frankly that's a shame. This style of bike has been riden by reall outlaws for years and years before sons. Its a set up made for riding hard everyday. Some of the benefits of this set up include the fairing which helps keep high speed winds off of the riders chest along with rain, the suspension is set up to cut through turns without a problem and handle the ups and downs if wheelies, and the bars which bolt through the tripple tree give the best handling possible.  This bike was built by Mike Taylor at cycle works here in arizona and is hell of a machine.

Best pizza out west

There are a ton of places that make "new york" style pizza around phoenix. The only place i've found that comes close to holding up to that title and thats times square pizza on deer valley. If your ever in the area I suggest trying it out, it reminds of old school italian delight that used to be on main in liberty

Knees finally in the wind

I finally got my bike back! Its been a little more then a month since I've had my bike, which means Its been a month since I've had any patients. Shes not done yet, but I've got new bars, grips, levers, highway pegs, foot pegs. As for the parts on the way, im waiting for my new seat, new sissy bar (notice the gnarly angle it has now front accident), and new gas tank from harley. Once all the parts come in im taking her back in to get finished, im just glad I've got her for the time being

Cabin fever

We havent had cable in a week or so, my bike wont be done till I get home from new york and with mary allready there im going crazy in my apartment. Luckily for me the pleasent fella across the hall found this in a box and let me borrow it. Watching the same movies over and over was getting old so this was a much needed change. With classics like mario, zelda, 007, and wrestlemania im gonna need to figure out a way to pull myself away from this so I can get ready to go to new york.

Very unsettleing

Our friends gil and dan found this in the kitchen light the other day and its still stuck in there. Apparently these creepy little bastards can go a whole month without food or water. Every once and awhile it gets frustrated and tries to get out, but he's not going anywhere.

Bike of the day

I know it doesn't have an engine but this bike is awesome. This is an old school schwin, if I remember coreectly its a 1965. The bike belongs to a ussuall at the red onion, him and his girlfriend ride their bikes there every weekend. One day we all saw his bike outside and had to compliment him on it, (a compliment on his awesome goatee soon followed) ever since then he was stops at the shop to bullshit for a bit. My favorite part is the hand tooled seat, which was done by a local guy in mesa. From what I'm told he is almost done with another one, so I'm sure this won't be the last bicycle that gets bike of the day.

Bike of the day

This sweet 93 shadow 600 belongs to our buddy mikey. This was mikey's first bike, its also his first build. He learned how to wrench on bikes by building this one, he did all the work himself including the hardtail. Since I still don't have my bike back I had to hang out of the back of peter's truck while colton drove.
