important update.

Got tired of seeing this Sachs Hercules frozen to the ground. According to Thom, it had been from yard to yard for 6 years. Didnt have a sparkplug and was fully seized. It did have the flywheel cover on (best) and I tapped on the flywheel to unseize it. 2 mins later and its firing on carb cleaner. I have huge plans for this, mostly just to be in a parade on it and maybe break 20 mph, but lets not get our hopes up. Been working on all my bikes, mostly my laguna and will post pics soon about this dumb fender thing I did to it.

November.

Busy being a nerd eating twizzlers and oreos. Here are some November pics of the shop/castle/chicago scene. Getting ready for a busy December, trying to hit a few rallies. I'm working on a recap of the year post featuring my fav photos and memories. Check these pics.

 Got 10 of these farings in at M.O.P.E.D. comes with all mounting hardware. Call us up!

 Watkins strikes again.

 Baby ride with 45 breakdowns.

My Derbi Laguna GPS'd! Wooooo!

Got a few holes patched in my pipe and decided to finally GPS my derbi. The current setup is a 65 jet in a Dellorto 14:12, 1 variator weight taken out (yes you read that correctly), timing slightly advanced, stock cylinder with ports cleaned up, a ninja Circuit pipe, 1500 clutch springs, stock gearing (19 x 30), and 36 psi in each tire. I was wearing new microsuede black Vans (double knotted and laced to the top), Krew Andrew Reynolds pants with crotch blown out, no show white socks, black American Apparel pocket Tee with an ACR pin, random full face helmet found at the MLM shop (smelled like booty juice), 14 g septum ring (I think its surgical stainless steel but I could be wrong), 3 inch beard, and a huge shit eating grin. I hit 42.5 mph and im pretty satisfied with that, cruised steady at 40mph. I like getting good gas mileage and keeping up with traffic. but we all know that IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MILEAGE, ITS ABOUT THE SMILE-AGE.

MOPED SUMMER 2012!

This is a video I made of my last few months of travelling. Locations include Portland, Seattle, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver, New York, and the middle of nowhere. Includes mopeds, skateboarding and being a transient.

Documenting dumb things is fun and it's nice to be able to show my friends and family exactly what Ive been doing. This summer has been great so far and I've met so many great people. If you frequent rallies you may just be in this.
