Had this awesome submission in my tumblr inbox today- Angie Cooper from Richmond, VA. 

1967 Triumph T120 chopper to be brought back to life from totheriver.tumblr.com. I just picked up this barn find last week and plan on getting her running this spring. Currently I ride a 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250SF as my daily driver and a 1974 BWM R90 for longer trips.

HEY Y’ALL, WE SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE!

A very quick update on last night’s party before I go head down and help clean up, eat some good breakfast, and then clean up the mess that is my house. 

I’m guestimating (from others’ opinions and my own) about 200 people, and 30 motorcycles. Well done, Portland. You show that rain who’s boss.

Better photos, full update later. 

I forgot to include the top photo of me talking with Mindy at BLACK MASS that David Frost snapped- so here’s a small collection if his photos from the show.

BLACK MASS Custom Chopper Show

Sometimes I look at my life and get slapped in the face by gratefulness. Look at these beautiful ladies I got to arrive to BLACK MASS with! Like the Charlie’s Angels of the motorcycle world. Stormie Ray, Jada Noriyuki, and myself.

I’m a bit behind in bloggery, so this event is actually from October 26th, 2012. Better late than never, right? Photos of all the lovely bikes and such behind the cut… 

This headlight is fucking cool. I looove slim choppy style moto.

This reminds me of a great summer Oregon trip- motorcycle campin! Park the bike and crack a beer.

It’s one thing to see stunters doing this, or racers who can get so low in corners they could scrape shoulder- but to see a retro custom like this, rider dragging hand in a parking lot… man, that just makes me all tingly inside.
