Cheap Thrills and GoodTimes

I'm baaaack!

2012-01-30T16:55:00.000-08:00

to sum it all up...

soon as we got to the cabin, I promptly set the mood. A roaring fire, shaved nuts, and a slab of beef-master does the trick, 60% of the time, every time.

the museum was awesome, that chevy truck only has 56K original miles on it. the 1913 board-tracker was, by far, my favorite.

I never figured I'd be one to like hiking, but when there is scenery like this, and cock shaped roots, count me in!

wrapped it all up by leaving Petit jean mountain and heading down to Hot Springs. Ate at the Ohio club, visited the American Gangster museum, and caught Lydia Loveless and Scott H. Biram at Maxine's Bar. It was a great trip, now back to scratching bondo all fucking day.

The old springer days,it's all in pieces now days.

If you're local in the DFW area ,New Bonneville is now carrying Speed Merchant products.

Yes rockstar got a new shovel,it's clean. Don't believe everything you see on TV

Ya know I don't bitch about Obama,I think they all are fucking crooks.It's all about who is sponsored the best now days,but whatever. I have waited a majority of my life wanting the Chia pet. Growing up through the 70's and 80's they advertised like crazy. Well I followed what Chia Obama told me to do for growth and it never happened. The dam plants grew in a seperate container for my kids but Obama showed no signs of growth. I was so stoked when Jeff gave me this thing. So thanks Chia pet you failed me. This is not a political rant either,but look at the sheep in the picture.I'm bored to death with this vertigo business,it seems i'm coming back around slowly. They have ran all kinds of tests on me,hooked me to wires,given shots,taken blood. "Just wait it out buddy you'll be ok,one day. "

Mrs. Lankford and I are going on our annual get away this week. This year we decided on a mountain cabin in Petit Jean state park in Arkansas this year. Pretty stoked about the scenery and the auto museum. They have a few bikes on display, I'll be back with pics!

2012-01-22T12:09:00.001-08:00

Yes I've had this going on 4 days ,worst thing ever with no end in sight. Fine one minute spinning the next few days and counting. It seems we have little crystals in our ears that can get outta balance,so you wait until they get back in balance. In the mean time you run into walls and try to laugh at yourself. It's kinda like having that last drink and now the party is'nt fun anymore for a few days.

Nick "why! it's alright."
My wife tells me that we're going to Bama this year,I was like WTF!!!
I wish the Texas beaches and water was that nice,clear water and white sands and good fishing. Awsome drive over,green every place. Do it,jam some Lucero or some good delta blues to get the full effect.

All blogged out.
T shirts are still going.
To quote J.Decker " Pompadours have been traded in for lovely locks and beards"
Another good one, Blogs not Hogs. In a few months it won't be hip anymore,kinda like when the car scene blew up and you were a scenester if you had greasy hair.
Blogs have just become the new message boards and the who's who. To quote a good friend " You can ride a cool Knucklehead and be a total douchebag or ride a CB750 and be a cool dude,it's not about the bike." So beware who you put on a pedistool for owning a cool bike,it doesn't make the person. I found alot of the truely good people fly under the radar by choice.

2011-06-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

So we caught a plane to LA,to see what all the talk was about.
Speed Merchant team is what it all about,it really does snow in the summer on the 405,Stevie enlightened me on the movies to watch to help blend in,never look them in the eyes,Prospect Steve and Mikey are rulers, " what kinda motor does the x wedge have in it?", the dog whisperer has a rad pitbull, Irish Rich just gets cooler as time goes on, Part Time ,hope you made it up north,I did'nt win the knuck,but it was cool to see the dude that did!, Nick from the Haint's is way more handsome in person,Vince ,I could look at your bike for days,Cindy FSK,Thanks for the camping spot, Dave and Lucas's pan was my fave,and the two fags that went with me kept me laughing the whole time. " Where's my teeth?" Oh and BF3 was a great show.

2011-06-21T14:58:00.000-07:00
