WKITHOK


"Gents, here is a picture of me with my uncle John, circa 1983 with a fish I caught. Every Sunday morning I was at his house, I would fish with him cause it got me out of going to church. Not a bad deal.
Love,
Jeffro."

Steg and Maxine




Steg came by the booth at the Long Beach swap today, so we chatted about this and that for awhile. One of the things we talked about was how Maxine's clutch has always been a bit of a handful. Especially since he rebuilt the motor back in April. It's got all sorts of wizardry going on in there now. As if to prove a point, when he took off he lurched forward and went straight through the vendors table next to us knocking bike parts all over the place. It didn't faze him one bit. He was still saying hello to friends, laughing and apologising to the guy whose booth he just destroyed while he was backing the bike up. He went off again this time narrowly missing a truck and some bystanders as Maxine leapt into action. Mental.

My Hero.

American Electric
















Craig owns it. Tyler, Adrian, Sean and Rosie all work there. It's in Silverlake. This is a good place to get some ink.



There is a fantastic place to get breakfast next door. I can't remember the name of the establishment but they do this delicious homemade strawberry mint lemonade.
