Scored second place at the Beatnik Blowout

bongos1 bongos2

Got a sweet trophy for the Pink Taco at the Beatnik Blowout, a killer set of bongos. The EC van doesn’t have tunes yet so I played Lisa a few songs on the way back to Orange.  She asked me not to give up my day job, but I don’t know why, I thought liked I sounded like Ricky Ricardo!

It was cool to get a trophy seeing that this was the first year they allowed Jap bikes to be displayed. We were totally stoked for Little Jenny, as she grabbed second for her  sweet new build , the Super Bee. Watch for it in the next Street Chopper Magazine.

They rotated out their 101st Flag that flew over their command post in Iraq on their last deployment and thought I would enjoy it, Well Wayne your are right, we are in the process of getting this flag framed and it will be hung proudly in our home.

Thanks for your service and this incredible kind gesture!

The second Hippy Killer Hoedown kicked ass! Big props to Kutty and Lisa for pulling it off. Seen a lot of old friends and made some new ones.

It was great to see West, Tammy and James…..( sorry Lisa put you to work, but you did save her a few times throughout the day). Tammy, thanks for the sunscreen, my bald head was getting burnt.

Who would of ever thought that would happen. Thanks Shige and Goshu!!!

Mike D. is a ruler

sew1

I am super swamped this week so Mike D. saved me a little time and picked up this sweet sewing machine from the Leather Machine Company. I have been dying to get a hold of the Cobra Class 3, this machine is so damn powerful, can sew thru 7/8’ of leather like butter. Steve is the owner of the Leather Machine Company and I would like to thank him for getting the machine to me. If you are in need of a quality piece of equipment from a stand up guy, please get a hold of Steve and tell him I sent ya!

I will be using this sewing machine for all of the Industrial Age products coming soon to the Eternal Combustion website. Please let me get thru the Hoedown first

BMR 2

Big Mt Event Logo CLR Please help support Chris Callen and the Limpnickie Lot’s Big Mountain Run happening on May 19 – 23rd. I don’t think I can make this unless there is a lot of us from the west coast heading that way. from last year’s pictures, it looks pretty wild and the riding seems to be on the type of road I like, smooth and easy. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by as I can guarantee they will keep you entertained. Thirty bucks for the whole weekend, bands included, sound pretty cool to me.
