Bad News!!!!!!

Another death....Biker + Car =Death
Got the News From CRC That a former Drummer of Social D was killed....while riding his bike an got hit by a car.....This sucks. Yes I have a huge place in my life that Social D has an impact on, but another biker/ Car fatality!! they all suck, no matter who the person is. Now for me, I have a bad taste in my mouth for drivers who run over bikers, but I also know that shit happens, and it is not always the drivers fault, but when it is the drivers fault...wether talking on cell phone (boulderite), or road rage (redneck), or drunk dumbass(St.Cloud Redneck, in blue blazer) ....FUCK YOU All I hope the worst for you!!!! I am a mellow, but sometimes violent person, but I prefer mono'E' Mono ...Not 4 dr sedan VS. Mono....anyway some venting has been done, just be safe out there( yep, Luby just said that)

A few MOTO pics

well here are a couple of pics from the Garage folder....

And there will be some very imortant "Luby " News coming in the next month or so..... Pleases stay tuned........ Talked to Doom Tonight, That Cat is Rad!!

Well the holidays came and left....Thank goodness, I am not much for holidays, I love seeing my Family and Friends, but Buh fuckin hum bug....I would prefer to see family and Friends minus the holiday stresses. Any way, I was able to see my nephew ride his bike (he just learned) he is going to be a ripper. It was great time spent with My family, I drove a tractor and shot a few guns........Seriously it is fun. in other news, Once my Lovely Girlfriend and I arrived from our 17 Hr drive home, it has been very busy. But I managed to go snowboarding at Copper..Wow the runs here can hurt sometimes!!!!! I went out tonight with a few people who are just getting into biking or are enthusiasts....we are going to start a wed. night ride!!!!!!!!!!! I am super excited because they are in it for a good time and don't have polluted bike indusrty minds. One thing I miss about Mnpls is the wed. nite rides. Cheers to that. Well I have a set of snowshoes on the way thanks to speedbuggy. Also I would like to give some cred to my Lady, she has been the best this last year, thankyou!!!!!!
Cheers

I was going to make aanother headbadge, but the name on this one is pretty rad

Good Times

The first photo is the ride I did Last Sat. On my ML8, it is a quick loop near home. The Second Photo is from the same ride I did on Sun. Same trail, different Bike, this time I did it on My 1X1 Fixed. The trail is fun with both a 6.5 inch travel bike and a fixie..... then spent the rest of both days with the lady......... good weekend
Went into the work week with a smile. Then on tues. Me, Al, Ariel and Abby went for a dirt bike ride at lunch. Really good time, still getting used to the moto.
tomorrow is turkey day. I will be going for a moto ride in the morning than stuffing my face in the afternoon. Then going for a Mountain bike ride Fri. Morn, then a big 50= mile moto ride on Sat.

Cheers and happy fucking eat a bird day

Great Day

Well lately, I have been feeling a little bummed out. Things haven't been going the way I have been hoping. But today I went out for lunch with someone who I have a great respect for, and they gave me some great compliments and great advice for the future. Basically what it came down to, is I should stay strong with what I want to do, because I am good at it (so this person said).
This meant a lot considering that I was thinking about giving up on what I have been working so hard at. I am glad that some one recognized the mentallity and ethic I have for certain things(thanks Mom and Dad). It also came from someone in which I see has the same ideals....NO B.S. .............
so it was a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you think some one is doing a good job and can go somewhere with it.....let them know.....something so little can go a long ways

Cheers

A new Bike!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I sold the thugsly.......and a few other Bike parts and bought this

I went out for my first real off-road ride on Sat. My co-worker took me to one of the more difficult trails to ride. But it was fun, I only went down twice. Dirt-biking is a little bit more of a work out than I thoughtit would be, but then again tossing around a 250 lb bike should be a work out.

Don't worry I didn't retire from riding, I just needed a break here and there, so I am going to spend it on 2 wheels. (plus I filled the tank for $3)

.....in other news, Project ML mayham has come to a stand still with chain issues....stay tuned!!!

and most of all Stay RAD!!!!

NewProject....mayham

Mav. jumps....in Parkinglot

I started a flickr +more news

Yep.... I am getting even geekier, I started a flickr photo account, open to whoever. I just picked up a new cam that can do some rad shit, so I figured I would share it here, and on flickr. I just loaded a bunch of pics I had on my H-drive.
In other news I am going to go watch B.I.L. race cross on sun, and hopfully meet up with fey. Not sure if I will ride or not( I can only pedal standing up) I still have a "charlie horse" on my femur from the Dirt Jump fuck up.
On Sat. I am showing the Pug. hopefully I can sell that, I may take hit on it but I could use the $. Then hopefuly I can start building the raddest Mav. Single speed full sus. Sat. night.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photo Blog

Here are some Photo's of the last couple of Months. Some are of Camping on a few different weekends, some are of 24 Hours of Moab.
Speaking of Moab, here's how it went... We Showed up later friday night and got a hotel room Got up early went to race and set up, it rained the whole time and was very cold. The officials Stopped the race at 8PM because thetrail was flooded and fear of hypothermia. Ethan and I tried to help as many people as possible with tech issues, but just not enough Brake pads, one lady trying to win it solo on our bike said she had tech support, her tech support came to us for help. We fixed her bike, it made me feel good. I also worked on a certain Magazine Editors Fork, that was kinda nerve racking, but the guy is cool and a Dirt Bag (hint). My Lady Was with all in all a success but no riding this time!!!

It's early!!!

Well It's just after 6 AM and I am almost ready to go ride, just sipping on some java. I have to do some test riding of product, so me and E figured it would be better to go early to avoid the mud (should be frozen). More updates soon with pics......now time to go to work and get my bike and some espressoo.

Those of you with blogs....use them!!!!!!

Where's The Race B.I.L

Moab Again!!!!!!!

Well I head out to Moab tomarrow. the second time in 3 weeks. i am not sure if I am excited or not for it. I am driving our Van out there full of Demo bikes and am going to run some Demos at the 24 hours of Moab race. Hopefully I can sneak out of there early on sunday and sneak a ride in. Ethan ( Head Mav. Tech) and his Wife are going they both are going to race/ride it Solo. My Lady is also going, which should be fun. She is going to hang out with me at the tents. Maybe I can talk her into shuttleing me to the top of the trail I did a couple weeks ago (see post below). I am going there for work, but it should be fun. I spentthe whole day tuning and washing Demo bikes, can't argue with wrenching. PT showed up and we may put into production some all Black parts I had made up for my personal bike. All Black seems to be in style now.....although I have always tried to keep MY bikes Black (like my hair)
well hopefully I will post more and get some photos up when I get Back....


B.I.L. and Simple Cyclest contact me!!!!

SHort and Sweet update:


Vegas Inter-Bike show was last week. We drove our big rig out to the show, Ariel and I were able to sneak a short ride in Fruita on the way out there. Then we did a good group ride with all the riders from My work, PT even was there. Then we headed into Vegas, did the whole show thing, It was awsome seeing everyone I haven't seen in a while. Then headed Home hit Moab on the way home, and there was a Turner Bike get together, luckily we were with there pro racer, who scored us some seats on a shuttle going to a trail above Porcupine Rim, and then Hooks up with Porcupine. Goup of about 35 riders. all in all it was pretty Rad. (especially for being in Moab for all of 16 hrs. total) here are a few photos:






















































GET WELL SOON BRYAN O' BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
