Cycle Headz Scans

I'm late to the game but always find material like this good for rain-e-day backlog.

Work something out to have a paper copy sent to your house.

Find other good stuff here too... CYCLETRASH

There will always be conventional ways to do things and reasoned actions.

Chopper is an individual's attitude, values and worldview.

Tons of respect for these guys and the dudes inside always putting out something fresh.

...And remembering that which was forgotten.

Wet Bike

Thom made a 20 mile commute in the rain today and group texted this pic...



Your gonna get wet on a bike in Seattle no matter what... stole the image below from Troy.

He captured the sentiment pretty well when he lived in town.



Sometimes it feels like the shit is raining up from the ground.



Dennis told me a story of a commute he made from Olympia holding his hand over his unfiltered bendix the whole 60 miles up I-5.

No matter how you slice it - rain sucks.

Freedom

Yo Dennis?





The stickers are hilarious.

The 62 is a rad bike.

Still Can't believe you got hit on the 61.

I heard sparks were flying.

Chopper Music : The Sissy Bars : Tokyo Punk

Gak, Shin, Tomoya, Katsu and Mochi are the Sissy Bars!!!



They play their first gig Halloween style in Shibuya.



I can see the scene now... too cool.

Mochi - USA west coast tour before Born Free 4?

Come to Seattle and play at The Comet or The Funhouse!

This guy lives just down the street from me.

Mitchell
stands by his song writing and happened to share that track with me.

I'm psyched my bike made it to his house last night.

I have pushed it back from around that area a few x to the tune of one 1/2 mile.

The last time was just this Monday evening care of some rigged out wiring.

Luck brought us back from Beacon Hill... One of seven just like Rome and Constantinople?


Mackenzie helped push, huffed, puffed and fogged up her visor.

Emerald City charm at her finest.

Remote Float Bowl Bro

Corny but I'm kind-of obsessed with one-a these.

Or 2...










You can point the damn thing any direction... and the last image is pretty self-indulgent.

From a Room to Some Rain




















The images above represent a take on Mr Jones's journey to Panheads Forever.

Insert something funny about how rain ends shit and enjoy the evening after sipping a fenderless oil-spiked drink.

I've sworn by some of the dreams I've had after a ride in the rain but that's an aside.

This pan is that dude's dream come true.

The motor made its way north from Utah as a passenger on ride-share response via Craigslist.

The rideshare guy crammed the partial roller all up in the back of his Honda Element and delivered it to Mr Jones.

I see that as quite the operational efficiency.

This Pan spent a short time in a bedroom as well of course.

It enjoyed some late evening shop hours too.

That frame has all the good bits on it believe it or not.

There's no good way to tell the story of how a bike gets to the road it seems.

Mr Jones made this happen with good pieces and resources.

Rather quick I might add.

I was psyched to see this come together and go for a tune-scoot.

Even if it was a bit wet.
