some quirky things.

Wake up call, Mr Hitler.

1 super cool Triumph.

The most perfect neighborhood weapon, low light and the pinnacle of old bike cool!

more bikes.

Talk today at work was bikes, bikes and more bikes.

I need to get my projects moving!

Here are some pics of Japanese harleys and some Triumph bobbers that I like.

She took it all off!!!

Well, O.K. so I am pushing past the line again.
This is an example of plastination, a process where the tissue is infused with plastics and then peeled back to reveal the layers of muscle and organs. I will have more pics up soon.

File this under "Holy Crap!"

I want to say this is some sort of sick ass prank, but it looks too much like something real.

Who knew that Dora the Explorer was going to help little girls explore their sexuality!

It also seems like a toy to buy if you see it, this is the stuff of urban legends, and after someone in the south buys one you know they will get banned.

...More brit V-Max pic's.

It goes without saying, I would sell your kidneys to get this bike...

BIOSHOCK.

Been playing BIOSHOCK today, and let me just say it's a lot of fun.
The setting is cool, and there is a lot of eye candy to look at, plenty to do and even a bunch of creepy shit bad guys to blast.
But, (cue worlds smallest violin) it's nothing we have not seen in some form before.
Game play is solid, sound is top notch, but its like many other shooters, just re set in another time and place.
I do like the music that is playing in some of the rooms, even the stuff that was new in the 1980's but sounds old.
I have to admit to being spoiled by Halo and Gears of War, as far as shooters go, the way you get around and all that. It works but Halo and Gears is better.
A nice touch is the element of choice you have, play it and you will see what I am talking about, I do not know where it is going yet, but so far it is cool.
go out and get it now.
I got mine at Target today, after toys r us told me to come back next week!

V-MAX!...

Went down to Lomita today to pick up a service manual, and on the way out got passed by some guy on a cut down V-Max.
thing had carbon cans and a lot of body work done, along with a belt driven supercharger hanging off the side. deadly cool!
And so then the V-max bug crawled up my butt and now I have to share.
Yamaha introduced the V-Max to us in the mid eighties, and it was the fastest thing around for a while, Twenty years or so and the V-Max is still sold, and still one of the fastest production bikes on the market.
Forget that Yamaha (er Star) is going to drop the new one on us next year, this bike is still the pinnacle of hot rod bike cool!
Have some pictures of some tarted up old ones, as well as a couple of the new beast.

Little Doug say's "Vroom!"

It's just another week of the usual, Marking time to death. No I am just kidding...
Doing all the usual, work, take care of my boy, try to get some free time for my bikes.
Could be getting a cheap rent on a garage, so if it pans out, I will have a space to work in, and some nice new pics to post.

Mazda/BMW motorcycle, etc.

This is just cool, I don't care who you are!
A Mazda rotaty engine, mated to a bmw gearbox and swing arm.
Wonder what its loke to ride?

Buell salt flat racer.

This is not my bike, not my picture, but still this is super cool.

long arm out back, all the treats hidden in plain sight.

I can imagine being belly to the tank, running flat out across the salt, pushing for the edge of the envelope.

New Pictures.

Took these out in the yard the other day.

Zoo trip.

TOO COOL!

A Buell Blast, all sorted and ready to run some back roads. A perfect single cylinder bike!!!
The black bike is a Yamaha XS 650 from Norway that has been rebuilt using new parts.
Again two examples of what a motorcycle should be!

Musings of a jerk.

I think that my son is like a business card for my sperm, he is a walking advertisement for my little swimmers.
"Hello ladies, you could have one just like me!" the sign says in blinking neon that only a woman's biological clock can see.

I like a good hug.
A good one does not have to be sexual, it can just be a solid physical experience. It can say I like you, I care for you, I hope you are feeling better.
A good hug is therapy, medicine for the spirit. A good hug says you are alive.
Or it can say I want to bonk you silly and make you scream my name.
I love a good hug!
