The only time I’ve seen someone riding a motorcycle in flip flops look bad ass. Jai Ho, Hindustan.

My Monster cush drives were a total pain… wouldn’t come out to save my life. Visited my friend Shelby Shaffer and his Grandpa… they were out within 40 minutes. Full story later… I have to go enjoy the last of this dry weather in Portland.
