Mosquito Fleet as fuck.

Went to Seattle a few weeks ago to see the Mosquito Fleet, these dudes rule! We went to hang at Add-A-Ball  the first night we were in town to play arcade games all night. I got the high score on this sweet racing game and it started shorting out because I was killing it so hard, oh well. The next day Brendan supplied Pat Perry, Ryan Nash and I with loaners to ride to Vashon island for a scooter rally. It's a 37 square mile isolated island with a population of 10,000. We had to take a ferry to Vashon and we rode around the whole island and finally ended up at the local eagles lodge to camp. The scooter rally was cool, the scooter dudes wanted the "moped dudes" to get wild be we were exhausted from travelling. I did Smiths karaoke and it went over well with them Vespa people. A local yocal who was wearing a kilt let us borrow a tent and it was great because it totally rained that night., had a great time! Big thanks to Brendan, Barry, Snordley, and Isaac, you dudes made us feel welcome... here are some pics. ALSO check out Brendan's Blog - http://allbluedup.blogspot.com/

TRIP - Midwest - Portland

So today I'm leaving Chicago to head out to Portland OR. Bummed I'm missing the Lafayetti's rally this weekend but I'll just have to visit them when I get back. First I'm going to Columbia, MO to hang with my good Mid-Moped (MMP) buddies and fellow BLK BLK member Ryan Nash. I'll probably just babble about Derbis and do flat land skate tricks in the shop (IRL trolling). The reason I'm headed to Portland is because my friend Zach is moving there and we are driving out with him. Also I've never been and want to hang with Puddlecutters and Uphill Battle. From Columbia we are headed to Denver for a day and then on to Portland. It's been like 3 weeks since my last rally and I'm glad to be travelling. Should be cool. Here are some moped pictures I took in the last week.

Destroying America with the shop cat.

1980 pepi for life.

 Laguna needed new pipe mount.

 Cracked pipe fixed, i was wondering why my idle was so high.

Benelli General gets a kickstart V1.

Got a "learn to ride" video so I can finally not crash at rallies.

Back in Chicago for a sec.

It's nice to be back at the castle, hopey (castle cat) missed me and I missed him.  Oh and here are some pics from the last few days including: Chicago is funny, Derbi 3 roller custom weights fail, helping Tony HNRZ move from original HNRz shop aka RANDO shop.

 This is where I live.

 No dreaded Derbi crank wobble.

 Better luck next time AKA dont use brass tube and epoxy.

Elisabeth from Metal Ponies sent me a shirt and old cell phone I needed. I love her and I owe her 214124094809148 times. So I'm gonna rock this shirt until it's black.

fucking with HNRZ prospects + getting to know the go pro.

Last night we had a party and the prospects got messed with pretty hard. I felt like we were in a frat gone bad.... we were all wet and sticky, some bugs were licking on me. It was my birthday and I got some laserdiscs (some Bruce Lee, She's Gotta Have It, and Undersiege), pretty cool.
