Going to be doing some good chopper brands and skate related stuff too.

Road Trippin

Not much happening on motorbikes this time of year so
Skateboarding road trip to London and Dorset went off this weekend.

RIP BoB 2

Two guys from DEVO pass away in a year.
DEVO were and still are a staple diet in my life.
Now my sons love them too.
So anti rock and roll, they weirded out and created their own style.

Check out this video, they give the customary awkward interview and then kill it on stage
with the hop jumping moves at four minutes and DEVO salute at the end.
A sad few days in Trawler household.

Hipsters

I havnt been around bikes for the longest time,
longer than some, not as many years as others.
This stuff made me laugh so much.
Dark workshops, sparky angle grinders, new beards,
"cafe racers" taped headlights and haircare products..... It's all fucked now.

Hopefully it will go away soon.  Just ride and be yourself.
Be the same person you were ten years ago.

Shoe History

In a half-drunk happy hour at The Prime Skateshop Bar on Saturday night
this new book was dropped into my lap.
History of Skateboard sneakers "Made For Skate".
Couldnt believe my eyes, my old advert for Pacer Hogs on page 164.
Got my own copy today....
STOKED!

There's talk

Flanders Chopper Bash
end of May 2014

When I see you again

Frame and tank will soon be painted.
Here it is in Flakey Dave's shop for shotblast, bondo and paint.
Hoping he understood my paint ideas.
See you end of Feb looking all funky!

In the deep midwinter

The things we do just to ride skateboards!
We found out about this cool little new bowl in Torquay
and we will be going there a lot in the spring.
In the meantime we bust out the propane torch and dried a
patch for a windy hour.

In a land before time

When Nova GTE's were new and funky rear suspension mountain bikes
were the shit!

Thanks Geordie

My buddy Geordie sent me a present...

Happy New Year

Spent last few days on my Digger engine.

Painting and polishing, I can do it without looking!

 I took it apart after a nervous start, and all looks good in there.

See you on the road in 2014.

Happy Holidays

Boneshakers Visit

Festive visit to break down my Digger.
Nearly ready for Paint and Chromium.
Pub lunch and good times.
Thank you Benny and Zip and Lou for getting my
bike to this point.
