Film: Out of Nothing
The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records.
Speed limit 69! Just kidding 35.
Oh, how I wish.

Can you name that motorcycle?
My good friend Chris Herrin beginning his speed sleeve- getting tattooed by Matthew Mattison (Little Tattoo Shoppe, Portland Oregon).
Matthew is the go-to tattoo artist for most motorcyclists in Portland. At least most of the ones I know! He did both my MotoLady and Faster Faster tattoos.
Explore the balance between control and risk.

I’ve posted this Hunter S. Thompson quote before but I do believe it’s going to be my next tattoo, so the timing is perfect.
The new 2012 Kawasaki ZZR1400… is supposedly the fastest production bike [off the line] in the world. “More torque at all RPM” and “significantly more power in the mid-high RPM range”. This video in Azione is pretty bad ass and definitely gives me the “I want it” feelings.
Leslie Porterfield (again)- holder of many records.
“GO SLOW and see our town / GO FAST and see our jail” Best moto ladies ever, with the best sign ever.

Because ladies were born to ride. And motorcycles were made for riding.
