Whats the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Arizona in June? For me, one word HOT! So of course after wearing my super thin clothing and ditching the liner in my motorcycle gear it was down right freezing.. It was overcast and trying to rain much of the way but not doing anything but generate lots of cross winds Its almost that time again.. Time to get out of town and hit the road on another epic road trip! The plan this year is 4 weeks and 11 states. ( Google cant handle this many points and I’ve had to break up the map into 2 parts ) For those who’ve . . . → Read More: Epic Trip 2010
Quite a few old style hot rods, t-buckets, and rat rods in attendance this year, enough for their own post. I love this car above. The subtle gloss black flames on a flat black background and just a touch of color with the blue wheels and sparkplug wires. Very cool.
The SuperNationals held in Albuquerque, New Mexico is one car show I never miss. Its one of the few in our area that always pulls in a few nationally recognized builders and customizers giving us a chance to see those amazing cars that have graced the pages of your favorite magazines the previous year. If you are a motor head its sort of like getting to meet a movie star.

We had a fairly bad snow storm today that unfortunately started around 9:30. You know what that means, everyones at work while the roads get from bad to worse and the commute home turns into a full contact sport.

Have you ever gone out for a ride only to see dozens of bikes going the other way and you realize you’ve missed some rally that you didn’t know was happening or forgot about?

No wonder I’m so far behind on keeping up with this blog The V Star got some New Tail Lights
Coming back over the river and through the woods from Grandma’s house we stopped by the Plaza on our way home and I took the opportunity to practice some more night photography. Hope you like it.
I mentioned earlier that Vaughn and Encino were pretty cool towns to photograph. I snapped a few photos out the window of the car on my way through to visit my bud Lalo who’s recovering from a bad motorcycle wreck. Again in a hurry I didn’t get to stop for long, maybe in the future when I’m not in a rush I can look around off the main streets for some other cool shots. |
