Oh the joys of youtube!

Found this documentary on a small sight that calls itself youtube. Its about the Ching-a-Lings Nomads MC out of the Bronx, NY. Recently I have been watching old documentaries on various clubs and other organizations and come to realize that before the days of "Gangland" and various "true crime" entertainment on NatGeo and Discovery there was this carefree way of reporting and the side told be the police was not as important as cool clips from the main content and the awesome and constant late 70s or 80s(?) hard rock guitar background music! Anyways, this two part mini documentary attempts to tell a story rather than feed you shit about guns, drugs, and murder mania. Rather it's men, women, kids, bikes, swaps, meets, and hanging (the best part is when the two builders are chatting about just whatever)...

chops and books.

Until the Wheels Fall Off by Robert Clay Norman, it ain't about undercover agents, snitches, meth labs, and secret (entrapment) meetings that led to fed raids and RICO trials. No, this book, so far, is about riding in the 70s, working as a kid, and having an amazing, now legendary, daily life of chopperdom. Out Bad and The Aging Rebel on the other...
 A bygone era, the same as those days we will never have. Happy hunting for dollars.
 Slow progress, nonetheless progress...
Vintage, blah blah blah...

Mocking up the ol gas tank, shovel, evo, iron, blah blah blah...

So we got a bit excited about the new gas tank and decided to have a little mock up party with just the two of us.  Also, here is sneak peek at what is happening to the suspension sport... Hey, it kept us entertained for a couple of hours and then we cleaned the shop...

Reliable Sauce in Charm City.





Baltimore, Charm City was full of life, fights, and your average deindustrialized urban decay.  The Dice release party was awesome and cold.  As the night ventured on we got to see Condit give GSP a beating he wont soon forget.  Back home now to sleep off the trip, work, and build for spring 2013!




 When in town check out 16Tons for cool stuff like clothes for those of you who wear them and prints like these.

There was some blood.
