scrambler
Had to go downtown last night.. usually I wont even bother if I can't ride since I hate dealing with parking. Got lucky, it wasn't raining so I took out the old scrambler. I haven't been riding it all that much and lately have been half assedly trying to sell it. I forgot how much fun it was to ride. A 400x19 front feels like a motocross tire in comparison to a 300x21 avon . There's a short and moderately steep hill near my house with a lip at the top. It's good for a little air every time on this bike if you just keep the throttle on up it. I can't say the same for my boat anchor Panhead as I've yet to get even the front end off the ground on the same hill.

the little things..






I shot this Hawgholic Knuckle for Dice the day after it won the Mooneyes show last year but it showed up in so many magazines at the same time that it had a bit of magazine overexposure and Dice never ran the photos. I love this bike and all the little details that Gak put into it. You really have to see his bikes up close to fully appreciate them.
In Davenport Gak told me about one of the bikes he's bringing to Mooneyes this year.. I can't wait to see it. I think people will be freaking out on it just like they were this bike last year.

Motion
If you are the amber mare
I am the road of blood
If you are the first snow
I am he who lights the hearth of dawn
If you are the tower of night
I am the spike burning in your mind
If you are the morning tide
I am the first bird's cry
If you are the basket of oranges
I am the knife of the sun
If you are the stone altar
I am the sacrilegious hand
If you are the sleeping land
I am the green cane
If you are the wind's leap
I am the buried fire
If you are the water's mouth
I am the mouth of moss
If you are the forest of the clouds
I am the axe that parts it
If you are the profaned city
I am the rain of consecration
If you are the yellow mountain
I am the red arms of lichen
If you are the rising sun
I am the road of blood
