Boston Mike and Co.

It was good to see Boston Mike and his beautiful lady Autumn at The Smokeout and I got to meet Fast Eddie all the way from Boston MA..I'm pretty secure saying I think Eddie had alot of fun onstage Sat. with his job of pouring water on the ladies LOL!!! Can't wait to see you mofos again!!!

More Knuckle pics..

Getting her ready for the road again..gotta love that tank art!!!

Loaded up and headed home..

One badass Sportster rider...

The lovely Michelle on her rigid Sporty that she rode to the Smokeout East by herself from S. FL.... now that's hardcore, which might explain why she won the Hardcore award at Willie's show one year, her and her ol man post on the Quad Cam blog sometimes so be sure to check it out as well..Roadside

From the front door...

Some of the shit piled around it...

Barn find 42 Knuckle chopper!!!

A real good friend of mine and my Dad's found this beautiful 42 Knuckle chop up in N.C. where it had been sitting in a wood shed for the last 30 years!!! No it isn't for sale and yes he's gonna keep it in chopper form and ride the shit out of it!!! About the only thing I would change on it is the owners name on the title!!!! Congrats Big Larry, you deserve it..Roadside

And now Mr. Jeff Cochran...

I was lucky enough to catch up with Mr. Speed King himself, Jeff Cochran, at the Smokeout and check out a few of his new projects..check out his bolt on hardtail kit for swingarm frames..absolutely beautiful..the man comes around..as always Jeff,great to see and spend a little time with you brother!!!! Roadside

Tourists..

Not your typical tourists but who gives a fuck..right?

The legendary Sun Studio...

While I was on the Long Road this year one of the stops was Memphis so Me, Bill, Tommy, Texas Chris and Precious decided to check out a true piece of American Rock and Roll history and I'm damn sure glad we did!!!! Do yourself a favor if your ever there and definitely check it out..Roadside

Willie made it!!!!

Can you believe it??? Willie actually made it to the Smokeout this year with Marcus and Jimmy!!!! As usual it was AWESOME to see the big guy!!!

Finally got another FXRP!!!!!!

I have always regretted selling my 94 FXRP and I knew I would eventually get another but I was really hoping to score an all original FXRT but I guess people are realizing how rare they really are and just don't want to cut loose of them, so I got the next best thing..an RP, these before pics will show how much of a difference a few changes will make so stay tuned..a big THANK YOU goes out to Pockets and Andy who not only brought me the bike in Santa Rosa but who also crashed on my hotel room floor like always!!! I really cant thank them enough and also to Hammer,Englishman and Steve Broyles who put it in the Horse trailer to N.C. for me..these guys really know the meaning of Brotherhood!!! Roadside Marty

Anyone down for a filmfest?

It's Guzzi Doug Wothke!!!!

While I was at Thunder Beach a few weeks ago I had the "privilege" of running into my good buddy Doug Wothke, for those of you who don't know who Doug is I'm just gonna say this brother has more miles backing up to the curb at the bar than most of these new yahoo's will ever have going forward!!! This Shovel is his mount for the next adventure,hey Doug watch out for those raghead terrorist's while your over there and get your ass back safe and sound!!!!

Motorcycle Safety???

I guess nobody ever told this guy that your supposed to keep BOTH hands on the bars at all times!!! Well at least he's got something in them that's worth holding!!!!

Bob Montagna

I miss this guy more every day. I had the pleasure of tattooing several Sturgis rallies with him and he always made things brighter.In case you don't know, Bob was one of the first National Tattoo members,was a key figure in the original Tattoo magazine(when it was the only one),was a founder of the A.P.T. who helped legalize tattooing in NYC and Massachussets.(that's right kiddies tattooing used to be a crime in some places!) That's Bob and Sonny at the Knuckle, Bob with his freak out,fork glasses and Bob and myself.I think these were all from 2003. Hard to be sure , Sturgis always got a little fuzzy after day 9 or so!

January 1990. I was 14 years old and already stick poking my first tattoos on myself and a few unfortunate friends. I was stuck out in bumfuck Georgia when this issue came out without a whole lot else to do but pore over the pages again and again. This pretty much cemented in my mind what I wanted to do with my life! ....Alvarez

Man, I love Shovelheads!!!

Who the fuck am I kidding??? I love them all..Pan, Shovel, Knuckle, Flattie, Evo, Twinkie and even Sportsters..what can I say? Roadside

Main Street, Sturgis 1986

At least this part of Sturgis will hopefully never change!!
