Woo Hoo

I like to take this opprotunity to brag (again). Thanks to my wonderful wife, I bought at 39.

The esscence of evil

That's quite possibly the cutest little girl EVER. You may recongize her from here.

More from the PDX stormtroopers

Our local goons .

"Steenson said police had no reason to assault Chasse, smash him to the pavement, kick him, hogtie him and then use a Taser. He said witnesses described the officers as chuckling when they stood around the fallen man."

New Portland police motto... "To protect and serve ourselves".

Small world

In college, I built the Yellow Pages ad for Pete Seda. I hung out in this guys house every evening for months, doing marketing work for his business. Trip.

Is any one else...

Getting tired of this shit? I mean, if you're a cyclist, or black, or brown, you know that the cops around the greater Portland area are, by in large, under educated bullies.... We put up with selective enforcement, rudeness, apathy, and arogance all the time. But shooting a kid in front of his mom when he's threatening to kill him self with a pocket knife? You murdering pricks. Seriously, the kid was like 15 feet away and walking parallel to you. I'm no crackshot but I could hit a drunk teenager in the legs from 15 feet, no problem. Better yet, be the heros our media and your PR departments try to tell us you all are and why don't the 3 of you (wearing bullet proof vests) just bum rush the kid with with a 3 inch pocket knife? Or were you worried it would take to long and interrupt your busy schedule of writing tickets to people riding fixed gear bikes? Did you have some tattoos to "inspect"?

It is just me, or are the cops around here just getting WAY out of hand?

Panda bites man, man bites him back - Yahoo! News

This plays right into a discussion Shannon and I had last night. It is my theory that a cuter an animal is, the better it tastes. Ducks, Quail, Bunnies, Lambs... etc, etc. Therefore, the best tasting animal in the world is probably a baby panda (not the pinkies, but slightly older). Now I just need to find a baby panda.....

Hawthorne Theatre Follies

This is how we roll. Much thanks to Nick and the rest of the fellas in Dfive9

Yet another goat related tragedy

Where will it end?!

Dude I'm gonna be rich!!!!

Hooray!

The one fun part of Vegas

Was renting this little toy for a day. We took it up to Hoover dam then up Lake Mead (where Shannon made a friend) to Overton, NV. Then we motored down to LV. Good times.

Do you feel safer?

Do you?

Eaglerider

Did it. Loved it. Recommend it. Photos soon.

All right god dammit!!!

Who the fuck is responsible for bring this shit back?

Oh I forgot this

Holy giant windmills, Batman!

My life, summed up

I hate the god damn goat

This might be me too, I dunno.

Iron Butt Training

OK, so we're not quite ready for the 1000 miles in one day that it takes to join the Iron Butt club... but we did some training this weekend. Shannon and I took off Saturday from Portland and rode I-84 to Baker. Yes, as an old school Eastern Oregonian, I call it Baker not Baker City. We stayed at our favorite hotel in Oregon, the Bridge Street Inn.

The next morning, after cleaning the crap some assholes dumped on my bike to help them forget how shitty their lives are, we took off towards Portland. However, rather than take the easy way back, we took the scenic route.

Baker, Sumpter, Bates, Wasco, Condon, Monument, Fossil, Long Creek.

HWY 7 to 26. HWY 26 to HWY 395. HWY 395 to 402, then to 19. HWY 19 to 206. 206 to 97, then back to I-84.

We figure we made the better part of 700 miles in 2 days.

We're getting there.
