Light show in the wet.

I rode down to Philly past Sunday to meet some friends for brunch.  Not something that you’d write home about, but, storms change things.  Drizzle was steady as I pointed the wheel to the back roads, trying to avoid the construction on the highway.  Although it was Sunday and the capitol was void of people I still decided to avoid it. Why ruin the mood ?

Rockers, the 59 club

Welcome to anuhthah fine frideay ! todeay we aaare going to view ah short movie about rockers and the 59 club. jolly well goh ohn, mustah your pint and settle down ! Absolutely top hole – I have to say.

It’s a comeback … (pg13)

Well, I haven’t posted anything for a month. Longer actually. It’s been crappy. But, it could of been worse. I realized a few (2) things during this crappy period. It’s really random.

1. It’s a good thing that (one) of my childhood dreams didn’t come true. See, I wanted to become a surfer. Where I lived as a kid, boys wanted to become a pilot or a truck driver, girls wanted to open a hair salon. Me ? I wanted to be fuckin’ surfer. Dare to be different or weird, depending on how you see things. I got the idea from a comic I bought at a local seaside shop while getting a cornetto. Good times.

2. Humans are fucking arrogant. As a whole, I mean and I’m not excluding myself. We want without give, me me me, everyone in their different little world, eager to prove how much more important we are. Everyone is entitled to shit. Seems that we feed on misery ; nobody else deserves to live but me, me ME ! I need your space in that lane more than you do, I have a gimp club tag just  so I can double park, that half full bottle of soda looks good flying off the top of the car while you yak on you phone, you empty headed little cunt.  No, I’m not going to come over to fix your router because last 5 times I did exactly that, you asked for money ; Bank I am not. For fucks sake, I need a beer.

Anyways, it’s still friday so here’s a clip. Enjoy !

Film (clip) Fridays

I’m going to try and make this an ongoing feature. Each Friday I’ll post a video that contains  a motorcycle.  Anything goes … a music video, movie clip, a weird collage of stop motion doodles, anything. To start things off, here’s a double feature.

Eddie Grant – Electric Avenue.

And this, I love this one. Silver dream racer … bikes, babes and one now famous bushy brow actor.

Dennys Burger Run

Ride to eat, eat to ride. It’s a simple recipe filled with miles, smiles and whole lotta good food.  Denny’s beer barrel pub in Clearfield, PA can improve that experience two fold.  The food they serve is excellent (ostrich burger anyone ?) and they don’t mind catering to large groups.  I found out about the annual ‘burger run’ to Denny’s from a riding buddy and planned a camping trip to see what all the noise is about.

kultur shock

They have been described as mariachi gypsy folk insanity from the Balkans.  This weird mix of punk rock & Balkan’s folk music is a must while strafing your favorite twisty road. Horse Thief !!!

 

Centralia

Walking or driving in this area could result in serious injury or death.
Dangerous gases are present. Ground is prone to sudden collapse.

Does that sound like an entry from a post-apocalyptic diary ?
It did to me, when I read it for the first time. The sign, posted by the PA dept. of Environmental Protection was erected where the rt. 61 bypasses the old portion of the road. A mound of dirt behind the sign was blocking access to the old portion of the route which was apparently badly damaged. So, what was I doing on a side of the road in the Pennsylvania coal country, contemplating what would happen if I were to ignore the warning sign ?
