Now we're current.


While at work I was cruising KSL's online classifieds for old motorcycles like I do every night and then I found it! The most beautiful thing ever! a 1968 BSA Victor Special. My Bonneville bike!! I just now have to find 900 bones quick!

Also while at work I built a Velocity stack...not really sure what for yet but I'm pretty proud of it, I got it red hot and quenched it to get the cool blueing effect i'm pretty stoked on it





I'm playing a show tomorrow and honestly I'm not very excited about it but, I said I would so I will here's the nifty flier with my name.

We'll see how it goes hopefully I don't snap at some snotty little teenager who's goof'n off, at least I took work off.

I'm Behind!





Sorry guys! I've been mega slacking lately so I try to catch up!

Friday morning I got up early and met Brandon in Garden City for breakfast at a place called the Lodge. I was like an old movie. We walked into this old fashion diner and sat down and the bar and everyone just glared at us haha. The food and coffee was pretty good actually. After that we rode back to Cache Valley. We just hung out and worked on Brandon's bike for awhile to get ready for the Drag Races we were entering the next day. After that I went to Shayna's house for a Cook out with a bunch of her relatives I ended up just talking motorcycles and traveling with her uncle for most of the time.

Then Cade and I went for a bit of dirt biking above Richmond.








Hung out with Erika one last time before she left for college and we watched this goofy 60's movie at Brandon's

The next morning we got up early to ride to Evanston to the races but it was POURING here and there so we decided to sleepin. After we got up Brandon had a wild hair that he wanted to go shooting (neither of us are into guns) but I had nothing better to do so I said sure. we went into to town buy bullets only to find out we weren't old enough ahah. We then went to Global Village gifts to say hi to Aly and I bought some Tibetan Prayer flags. they've always interested me because they're always all over base camps at Everest and such they're very cool.

We got back to Richmond and went Brandon's grandparents house and went through his grandpa's barn behind a couple corvettes we found this gem
a '71 Harley-Davidson Ironhead sportster! pretty rad.














































That night I went to the zoo with Shayna and Whitney and then we checked out spoon me it was pretty good. Definitely a hipster kind of place. We then went back to Shayna's and colored those fuzzy posters and watched Austin Powers. Sunday I went the Glendale Reservoir with Cade and his family and I got up on water skis the first time I ever tried my whole life and rode straight home for work ahah that was my weekend.

Since The First Day of Kindergarten..

These guys have been my best friends, we've done practically everything together. For thirteen years these guys have been family their families have become family. They come from a whole bunch of great people. I love them all.

I would die for these guys and I truly believe they'd do the same for me. We give each other such a hard time but feelings never get hurt because we all know in the end we've got each other no matter what.

I love you guys!
The funny thing its they'll probably never read this hahah but thats ok, it doesn't need to be said we all know it anyways.

I hope you all have people like that in your lives, it makes it all better.

This picture to my best guess would have been when we we're all in 4th or 5th grade (judging by my skate deck ahah)

In the Picture from left to right (Back row: Brandon, Cade Front row: Me, Zak)

Desert Mountain Biking

Well my brother and I decided to go mountain biking outside of town...it was a silly idea because there isn't much to ride anywhere near here but, I needed to get Molly out for a run because I haven't for awhile so we took what we can get. Molly was stoked. The area we went to is pretty much a dirt bike spot so we worked are bums off to get anywhere on it ahahah but we had some fun.
It was pretty hot out and much water was needed hahah here's my brother Kam re fueling on H2O.












Here's something I taught Molly when she was a little puppy so I didn't have to carry a dish in the mountains.






We didn't spend much time out there but enough to work out and sweat and for Molly to get in a gross swamp hole hahaha.

We found some bumps and jumps to play on so here's a few shots




Well here was our day, I've recently realized that life its far too short not to get out and have some fun anyway and anywhere you can. I try to have even small adventure every day. It makes life good.

Out South


There's a road south of town that I've never really been down before. So, today I got on the old Sportster with a full tank of gas and my camera and head out....unfortunately there's something wrong with my camera haha so I had to make due with Phone photos.

I wanted to get out and enjoy the wind, I hate wearing leathers but, they wind had other Ideas the gusty Wyoming air was whipping my shirt and twenty minutes in I had a numb red belly hahah no sweat, still enjoyable.



It's sorta beautiful out there and also strange there's an entire town of mobile homes out there that's been abandoned, I believe because of a meth lab or something. Honestly I didn't get close enough to get a picture.


There was a baby fox that was hit on the road, It bummed me out quite a bit, I think they're a very interesting animal.



One of the main reasons I went out there was to find old cars. There was two complete boneyards with an awesome old International Pickup and then a really rad 50's Led Sled. The coolest though was this crazy cool european car, I think it may be a Bentley or a Rolls Bentley
couldn't get very close so the quality of the zoom on my phone sucks.

It was a short little trip but i certainly enjoyed getting out into the wind with no one in sight. Its these small adventures and these moments that make life worth living.

Get out there and do something that makes you smile and have one of those "wow" moments.

Speed Week '09

Well Saturday Brandon, Cade, Shayna and, I went out to the Bonneville salt flats and saw some amazing machines and had a lot of fun on the way down we though of names of made up sexual things that sound crazy such as "Arabian Sling shot" and "Spanish Light Saber". We talked to Wes White from Four Aces who races vintage Triumph Motorcycles he was a super nice and gave us a boatload of stickers with naked ladies haha and ran around in his undies. Congrats to his partner Chuck for setting a world record on his little old Triumph Cub.

We saw an 81 year old man go like 360mph or something on a motorbike.
Shayna got hit on alot and was offered to sit in one sweet rod and then got an offer to drive another haha.


This thing was just Insane! pretty awesome, someones got alot of money, creativity, and way too much time

Unexpectedly we saw theT ree of Life, I've always wanted to find it but had no idea its right off the super slab haha.













It was a pretty awesome day I wish I could have spent the whole week but I'll be going back in September and then again in October for my birthday, hopefully with a mini bike or better way to get around haha. Next year with a bike I can run! Well I think that's plenty for now. stay tuned!

Hey Der Bob

Hey guys, I've been thinking about starting one of these things for ages but never have gotten around to it. I was talking to Chels last night and decided it was time. So here I am! I'm seriously going to try to update this everyday...well as often as I can in between adventures, with lots of pictures and stories from the road and every day life out here in the land of dust and sheep molesters.
