Two years ago I posted Jeff Yarrington’s green cafe Ural Racer custom build. Since then he’s become one of my best friends! Motorcycles bring people together. Look out for my photos of his bike Tesla in the next couple days!

East Coast Invasion Commencing

In less than a week I’ll be traveling to Maryland for a very exciting project with Cafe Racer XXX and Saint Motor Company. You may recall Saint being mentioned both in the Monster Project (Phase 9: 748 Front End on 750 Monster, Phase 8: Fixing the Tank) and the very popular green cafe racer Ural.

The association of motorcycles with LSD is no accident of publicity. They are both a means to an end, to the place of definitions.

It sometimes feels like a bummer posting this stuff- but it’s a reality of the motorcycle world.  Trevor Ware travelled the America on a vintage Honda- a 1974 CB 550. Recently he was rear ended by a drunk driver and is in a coma. They are selling shirts, accepting donations, and definitely appreciate any reposting of this graphic.  You can watch video of his adventure, “When Were You Young?” on vimeo, read about his trip of Kern Country Kid blogspot, and donate directly to his fund through EverRibbon. And I’m sorry, but I just have to say it. PLEASE WEAR A FULL FACE HELMET. All of you!

Meet Piper Watson and John Shea! Talk about motorcycles bringing people together… this couple traveled from their hometown of Baltimore, MD a full 5,000 miles and ended up here in Portland! Their trip isn’t over, but they stopped by my work to see the shop (and me!) and we just had to go get dinner.  More photos of Piper will soon follow. You can follow their journey on the-between.net!
