Ride today you might not be here tomorrow....

Is not just a saying, it's a fact jack.  Chris Price had brain cancer and rode the stampede in 2011, I'm sure somewhere in his mind he thought it might be the last chance...and it was.  He passed away from brain cancer recently.  Either way you slice it, the dude IS an inspiration to all and we should not wait to do what we want in life.

RIDE FREE BROTHER CHRIS!

Next month....going to pick this up....

Been in storage in NC for near 1 year.  It'll be interesting to see what a float bowl full of gas looks like.

To all potential Stampede would be's....

Come getcha some!

San Francisco

Went to San Francisco this last week for some business meetings.  I happened to fly in 1 day in aadvance so I rented a Harley and drove around the bay.  I hadn't been to this part of California before but I thought it was a really nice place for riding, good weather, and just an overall good feeling.  Oh yeah, a picture of the stampede bike...Miyagi is doing a great job on that one.

Bike X

I can't say much about this bike at this time  If you know who is building it you'll recognize the style.  It's designed to tackle a little race going down next June in the USA.  Laugh at the front fender all you want but I am over having water thrown in my face.

Cleaning up a bit....

Drilled the bars, ran the wires internal, changed out from the ugly stock brake line, removed the stock mirrors and added a cool lollipop version, and re-located the turn signals.  Small stuff but it makes the bike look so much better.  Biltwell risers are awesome, I recommend them to everyone!  Also got a kick ass side mount tag holder that tucks in a bit tighter than before.  Thanks Black Chrome san!

3日間休み

It was a 3 day weekend in Japan, we rode out with some friends and went camping on Saturady night.  Sunday morning woke up and rode toYamanashi to see Dan san.  Shot the breeze with him for a bit and installed the new plate mount he made for me.  Apparently Tomo san (心ガラジの友さん）did the welding.  Dan of course being a stubborn American wouldn't take a dime for it.  タンさん、友さん、ありがとうね！

Afterwards Maiko and I had famous Yamanashi fat noodle, namely 豚ほうとお and then made the 100km trip back to 新百合ヶ丘。

On the way to camping, letting my friend Said take his first stab at a Harley...don't worry Said, you'll get it!

Dan Woosley and the midget garage

Good to see you Dan, now get that Kunck of yours fixed and let's go for a put!

New plate holder not only looks good, but cleans up the fender a bit and would allow for a bag to be set there if need be.
