Now This War, Has Two Sides!

Swap Build

Swap Meets are the best, and the CBA Swap Meet is of our favorite things to do twice a year. The thrill of the hunt, hanging with friends, meeting new people, and just getting out and enjoying the day, rain or shine. Plus you can get real lucky and find 90% of the parts you need to build that troublesome project that has been kicking your ass all winter. I was down on my luck, pissed off about not having enough money to finish the bike I had originally set out to build, but then along comes the swap and I find part after part that inspire me!

CBA Charlotte Swap, Rain out but not Bummed out..

The spring is here with rain and all. This years biannual CBA Charlotte Swap was pretty good despite the rain.  Got some great swap parts for builds and future endeavors.

emblemized depression.

Its been a slow and strange winter with warm days being just as depressing as the inability to ride, a poor excuse, for a roller.  Being slow and having builders block aint all that its cracked up to be. Oh well, inspiration will rain down up us all soon enough.

2 eggs please

For Whom the Bell Tolls

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)...
