No rest for the wicked



Crazy weekend.

  • Two runs to the airport for two friends
  • Lunch and beers with one large 'The Harpoon'
  • One unfruitful a.m. kicking session with the 53 at Jake's. Excellent donuts
  • Huge dissapointment and sadness due to bike not cooperating
  • Angy Salmon due to gasoline
  • One BBQ with WAAAAAY more people in attendance than expected (a good thing)
  • Killer jumpy house in back lawn at BBQ
  • Happy neighborhood kids
  • Meeting new friends at BBQ - DJ is cool
  • Imprompt early evening "we can fix it" session on 53 spurred by goading of one Marshall Woolrey and help of one Marshall Woolrey and one Mike Soldano
  • Bike starting and rattling windows
  • Bike MUCH louder with new pipes than with old 2 into 1 pipe
  • Feeling that neighbors don't like new pipes
  • Me finally feeling happy though more tuning is required
  • Big clean up of BBQ mess (ongoing)
  • Trip down to Dice Magazine party thing
  • Kook hitting Eric's Pontiac on his motorcycle
  • Sadness due to Eric's sadness
  • Little happier again due to Richard's out of control 700+ hp. burnout in altered wheel base Belvidere destoyer machine
  • Weird vibe at bar and no good scenesters but good talks with friends outside
  • Two diet cokes. One beer
  • Home by 1 a.m., sleep, up early on Sunday morning
  • RAD photo shoot with Good Luck Gary in two neat locations
  • Good coffee and muffins
  • Failed attempt at afternoon nap due to active Logan
  • Fun hang-out reading session with Leah the heart melter
  • Great back lawn baseball session with Gary and Logan with cockeyed base running
  • Two failed attempts at getting into restaurants for dinner with final victory at good local sushi joint
  • Trip to Gas Works park to tire Logan - didn't work. Only Gary and Anthony tired. Logan's dial goes to 12
  • Two Olympia beers at fine local drinking establishment
  • One plan to produce a book with Gary
  • Happiness and good feeling about handful of great friends
  • Wonderful conversation on way to airport
  • Done

It was a good weekend. My shop feels a little bit empty without the 53. G and all the people at the BBQ were tops. Thanks.

The "Panama Red" incarnation of your pan was a refreshing exercise in sublty, and the reason I check in here most days. Curious to see the latest revision, perhaps blue now?

I'll have something up for you within a few days Jason. The bike isn't as subtle as it was as Panama Red, but it's quite a departure from what's out there right now. It's still very purposeful and reflective of a time and place, and the dude above, Jakemon, is largely to thank for it. Thanks for the kind words and keep checking in.
