Movie Night: Thurs January 24th

Rad poster. Rad bike.

This poster uses one of my favorite period typefaces, Cooper Black, so it gets my approval right from the get-go.

Last time we got together we watched a freakin great biker flick from 1971 about some 'Nam heroes. Well, this time we're getting together to watch another biker flick from 1971 about a 'Nam hero. We'll see if this measures up...

I've heard The Hard Ride is a good one...

Everyone's been emailed Clean Cut's address. Same as usual: 7:30 get together. 8pm movie. See you in a week.

Isle of Man TT Documentary

Here's an hour-long documentary on the 2012 Isle of Man TT. I'm pretty sure Marie and I are gonna go in 2014 when we visit Scotland. I'll bring you back a t-shirt. ;)

i dig this new Bell helmet

If anyone wants to chip in $250... my birthday is in May.
If they have it at the International Bike Show next month I'm gonna try it on at least. Looks like a good option for touring...

Movie Night: Thurs January 10th

This time we're making it over to Chief's house for Chrome and Hot Leather. 

This one's from 1971 and it's our first foray into the sub-genre of Vietnam biker flicks. It wasn't long before the film companies had to start creating hybrids to boost biker movie attendance. They started to dabble with Vietnam, blaxploitation, homosexuality, and horror. This one looks legit, though. Just look at that gang! Fucking awesome bikes.

Those with a keen eye will recognize Larry Bishop from HellRide and Marvin Gaye from...well, he's fucking Marvin Gaye and he rules. Anyway...

You know the drill. 7:30 order pizza. 8pm movie. I'll email everyone the address...

Let's ride!

Movie Night: Thurs December 20th

This film comes highly recommended. It was a bit more difficult for me to get ahold of but I bought a copy on Amazon. I wanted to stray a bit away from the American genre flicks of the late 60's and bring in some more British shit. Back to my roots. Y'know. ;)

This is from 1964 and it's about café racers in a love triangle. It looks awesome. Definitely a bit of kitchen sink drama, but looks to have a lot of Rockers with killer Brit bikes from the 60's, so we'll be in for some amazing style.

So, slick back your hair and wrap up with your white scarf and I'll see ya in two weeks.

This time we're going to PJ's house! His address is in your email...

Movie Night: Thurs December 6th

HOT STEEL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!

What's up. Kickin' off the season on Thursday December 6th at the Prez's house with the Cycle Savages. Be there at 7:30. We'll order pizza and get the film rolling promptly at 8pm. I'm gonna go with Dan Good Pizza this time. They just replaced Dolly's on 9 Mile. It's some good shit. Better than Dolly's imo. 

Here's the synopsis of Cycle Savages from Netflix: Infuriated that an artist (Chris Robinson) has been observing him and drawing pictures of his activities, volatile motorcycle gang leader Keeg (Bruce Dern) storms off to find the unwitting illustrator and teach him an excruciating lesson he'll never forget. Written and directed by Bill Brame, this brutal exploitation flick features serious beat downs, drunken orgies and an unbelievable appearance by famed DJ Casey Kasem.

What a bizarre concept. Biker gets mad at dude for drawing him. Amazing. But it's filled with "serious beat downs" and "drunken orgies" so it can't be half bad. 

So yeah. Be there. Two weeks after this we're heading over to the Pope's house. We'll figure out some schedule to include Bandit and Clean Cut's cribs after that...

WOO!

I can't find a trailer on YouTube, but here's the righteous theme song to get you stoked. Or stoned.

Tail of the FSMC

The Professor burned me a disc with some of the pics he took while we rendezvoused at Tail of the Dragon. I thought I'd post a few for the rest of the crew to see. Thanks, Prof'.

The sign sort of says it all.

Looks like Clean Cut has been working in a coal mine. And cut those sleeves, CC!

Apart from being the greatest road we've ever driven, it's not to shabby to look at either.

And...we're off for another run as the sun starts to set. One more trip down and up the Dragon before we leave.

Clean Cut removed his baggage so he would look more fly in the photos.

the Prez didn't remove shit and looked like a scrub.

Easy motherfuckin' rider.

Clean Cut, President Helmet Hair, and Chief Easy Rider. With some gawkers in the background.  The end.

at the GAR Building in Detroit

Fortunate enough to hit up TEDxDetroit today w/ the Bishop. There was a stop at the GAR Building (that rad castle-loooking thing on the corner that's been vacant for 30 years). Left a calling card...

Yes please

Badassery!
