 So I called an Oldtimer I bought my first bike off and went to have a visit. Turns out he’s had a rough time the last couple years. His mom passed away, his house was foreclosed on and he has lung cancer and is on oxygen and next to no mobility or strength. It was rough to see a guy that was vibrant, always smoking and bullshitting,a million bikes on the go, super cool shop, etc to be in such rough shape. We had lots of laughs but it was a tough night. I bought some fenders, 39, 35mm trees, tires, fxr stuff, some clutch stuff, but it wasn’t the greatest, it was more to help a guy out. I’ve been praying for him. I hope it turns around, sometimes when you ask to be of service, life takes you unexpected places.

Don’t cry over sold chopper parts. That would be a good t shirt. Our trip to Montreal for Roll the Bones show is quickly approaching.  We’re gonna meet Chris, he’s coming up from NYC. I jokingly made a new years resolution that I’m going to all the motorcycle events and swaps this year and so far the schedule has been packed. Stoon swap at the end of May, northern FXR jam, some other rallies and hope I can get my border stuff sorted so I  can go south next summer. I bett...
