Triumph engine rebuild

Why did you rebuild that motor? Here are a few reasons.
Motor rebuild and back on the road.

Triumph rebuild

I just finished rebuilding a Triumph motor. Brand new 750 big bore kit, new con rods, new valves and guides, etc, etc. The customer had it painted, I polished up the engine covers...... Pictures of the reason for the rebuild later. It's a doosey!




Trophy got some new stickers in! Check 'em out!

Matt Arluck

It's so hard to believe it has been a year since he has passed. First time I met Matt we started talking because he was wearing a "B'last' t-shirt. Best frontside 5-0s ever. In memory of Matt Arluck.

Charles Mingus

I've been listening to a lot of the old jazz records lately. Especially Mingus!

Slappy Sunday!

Such a fun session! (as always) Mikey Ratt wasn't able to make the last few sessions, but he was out tonight! It's always a fun session with Kevin Marks. I was super happy that my long time slappy partner, Spencer Little, was able to make it. And you can always count on Kyong, Damian and the rest of the Curb Crushers to show for a fun session.
Thanks to Stack-Aly for another awesome flyer!

Yet another Slappy Sunday

Fun session tonight! Kyong Kim, Kien Lieu and Brenden Schafell made it down! It was great to see those guys skating together. Stack-Aly made some awesome "Slappy Sunday" buttons. The Curb Crushers guys are always down for Slappy Sunday. As well as "Lurkville!" skateboards

I spent the other day HAND painting my new board. Now I'm going to go skate it.

Slappy Sunday shirts soon!!!

Thanks to my buddy Stack-Aly for the t-shirt design! And thanks to Jimmy Jordan for printing them up for us! I'll be able to flow a few, but I ain't rich, so a few bucks would be nice if you want any.

FYI......... that's Danny Sargent's Indy!

Slappy Sunday!!!!

The Curb Crushers were down for another Slappy Sunday, along with an old friend Kien Lieu.
(By the way, Kien will be DJing at the "Bluefoot" bar in San Diego on Wednesday, check it out!)

San Francisco trip

My lady and I took a trip up to San Francisco last weekend for my good friend Mark Pearsall's wedding.

(my favorite spot ever)
