I know I bust on Harley’s for being real gay and shit, but I actually secretly dig them.
Yes, I actually wanna build up a vintage Harley someday.
Something prolly similar to what’s in this photo.
Rigid tail… rough as shit. flat black and dented up…
I love the idea of it sitting in my living room on my old design or programming books. ha.
Hellz yea!

I’m cruising on Interstate 80, descending through the jagged, brown peaks of Nevada, when I first set eyes on northern Utah. In an instant the landscape changes from the familiar desert to barren white flats as I cross the border. It’s fucking wild! Then came the sign for Bonneville International Speedway — I slammed on my brakes and dipped off the highway. I passed the row of tents set up on the side of the road before the main gate — I was now completely surrounded by white under a clear blue sky. I pulled up to the gate and realized I couldn’t pay the $20 fee, so I told the guys my story and they let me in for free. I followed the cones into the distance until I reached beginning of the track. There was a two-lane line formed of hotrods and motorcycles and one-by-one I got to watch these guys launch down the line.

What an awesome ride. Including the ride up and back I did around 750 miles in 3 days all over northeast Pennsylvania. Thanks to Walter from Kickstart cycle Supply for putting on this awesome event. Tons of cool bikes and cool people. Special thanks to Sean and his brother for navigating the first day and to Chris and Matt for sticking with me on the ride back while I sorted out some electrical bugs. Sean’s brother (I feel shitty – totally forgot the dude’s name) had this sweet swingarm shovel that I just fell in love with. So many awesome people – Mike from 47 Industries (cracked his frame and welded it in the diner parking lot! took best roadside repair!), Jd with his longfork shovel that took best of show, Michael of The World is Flat who is taking by far some of the best cycle photos, Chris who rode down from Vancouver only to have his engine blow up as he rolled into Jersey … too many people to mention.

I ended up taking the award for “rolling deathtrap” for having the bike that looks like it should fall apart but does every last mile of the run. I’m honored. GR6 isn’t close enough. Thanks for getting me so stoked on bikes.

all packed.

Hittin’ the road with the Harley and my buddy Dennis for a month.

PHL-Asheville-New Orleans-Austin-NM-Sedona, AZ-Yuma, AZ-Baja Cali-SD-LA-SF-Grants Pass, OR-Reno, NV-Las Vegas-Boulder-?-Aaron’s Wedding. I’ll see y’all there.

This is as far as I’ve “planned”. I’ll take to the slab to make up time, but I plan on diverting and getting lost on the smaller routes.

I’ll update as I go.
