darren's survivor.



went to oakland and hung with my old pal. his new chop pretty much rules the universe. i also found out jet hot coating on jugs is like a nice line of coke on a firm twenty-something titty.

chicken coop triumph



sonoma county. aint this some shit. i'm gonna rescue this bike, and give it the business. it's got a killer stance, and has loads of potential. not going too crazy, just restoring her as she is.

bike court

Looking through the blogs and logs, Catalogs and sparkle jobs
like watching a slow motion rape and pillage
up in my tourist trap village.
sad and fury occur and spur me-
You stand accused of culture vulturism, how do you plead?
I heard your case and watched your poker face as you talked about 2004 as if it really was back in the day
Well i'll tell you what, faggot, you've been found guilty by your own pleas of innocence through industry, but don't sweat it.
WE'RE ALL thieves and liars , some are slick and some are quick
to be the ones the public admires-singing their praises in denim and flannel choirs
but it's a lions game round here and I might stand up and cheer when their kingdoms of straw burn down to the ground in the fire

born free 3???




Well, we're one cigarette away from being done
Yeah, we're one cigarette away, sure has been fun
Yeah, we're one cigarette away, we gotta find some place to stay
Because we're one cigarette away from being done

One drink so quickly turns into another
It's gonna take me all day tomorrow to recover
Over has been hung, the last fag has been bummed
And we're one cigarette away from being done, yeah

Yeah, we're one cigarette away from being done
What's that light in the window, is that the sun
Well, we're one cigarette away, ain't no use, open out the ashtray
Because you're one cigarette away from being done

Yeah, we're one cigarette away from being done

schoolin fools


saw this on the jj...he found this t-bird,and brought it back to life. he didnt put an aftermarket stamped steel gas tank and a big ugly remote oil filter and sport bike tires and call it a bobber. he fucking ruled it. he got the thing running. why? because it rules. remember kids- don't cut up and powdercoat rims and talk about your "build style" on awesome pre-units before you study this bike.
