Moving on......

As you know a good majority of the content in this blog was pulled out the shop I used to work at, 21st Ave Bicycles. I've moved on from mechanic to store manager of the Chrome PDX HUB. I could write posts about Chrome all day long, but Chrome already has a blog. Hence the reason I haven't updated this blog in very long time. With my limited free time I still enjoy my bicycle, but my mechanic intrests have shifted to motorcycles.... hard. I have always loved and ridden motorcycles where as bicycles have only been a big part of my life for the last 6-7 years, so you may say I'm getting back to my roots. I recently purchased a 1978 XS650 that I am completely tearing down and rebuilding with the help of some people you probably already know: Sean Light, Jake Tong, and Jake Winfield. The four of us make up what we call....

As I am sad to close this chapter I am stoked out of my mind to begin the other. I hope you guys like motorcycle stuff because we love it. Goodbye Backyard Blam. Hello Good Fortune Lucky Toolbox. Good Fortune Lucky Toolbox

PDW's 4 Year

Where does the time go? I mean it.... my grandma said that as I get older the time flies by so I should enjoy it while I can. Well grandma, you were right. It seems like it was yesterday I moved here to Portland, started throwing events, and met the boys from PDW. The have been a great supporter of the BLAM and even better friends.... and I say that even though both Erik and Murph are Packer fans (Go Vikes). Dan, you're all about the Lions and I'm okay with that. I love these guys and I use the shit out of their products. Unfortunately I will miss the party because I'll be working at the NYC Chrome Hub, but I'll be there in spirit.

Rebecca Gates Plays Chrome

I am so excited to have my pal, Rebecca Gates come play a show at Chrome PDX. Join us for a night of drinks and jams.

Get Weird Jam

Racing Molly

I just saw this video shot by my pal, Dan Sharp, of my other friend, Molly Cameron, racing cross. Enjoy..... or else. If you haven't picked up on it I usually throw out idle threats, but one of these days I will come through and boy will you be sorry.... that was another one.

...aaaaand I got another one

I got another motorcycle. This one was a gift from Patrick Funk via Kyle Von. Thanks guys. It's a 1976 KZ 650B. I am beyond stoked. Patrick was telling me it needed a name. I told him since the people who had the XS before me painted it gold and the dude kept calling it Goldie, I called it Goldie Hawn. P Funk said "well, if your other bike is Goldie Hawn, this one is Kurt Russell..... AND SO IT WAS NAMED.

Look at Kurt, hanging out all by himself... lonely. Come with me sir, you can stay in my driveway.

Here is my pal, Jacob Winfield, one of the founding members of Good Fortune Lucky Toolbox. Oh, what's that? It's our Tuesday night motorcycle club. No BD.

Wow, I look good, huh? That's the "I'm ready to shred" face.

The boys and I got a big kick out of loading a motorcycle in a minivan. Why? Hey, what's with the questions all of a sudden? I thought this was pretty straight forward. Well, minivans usually have soccer moms and families in them, not motorcycles.

Be prepared to see a lot more coming out of Good Fortune Lucky Toolbox and then before you know it we'll be partying with these guys.

Double Happiness

I just got this bike tonight. 2 motorcycles in 1 month? Thems some good odds right there. I am so excited, but the dude talking in the video at half speed kind of creeps me out.
