Tear down prepping for Hotrod Al to do some porting and polishing.

Because you can.

That is the only reason you really need.

My TV is broken so I took some time to update the look of the ol’ blog here. I like it and hope you do to. Send a message if you have thoughts.

The Scooter Cannonball is not until April, but it feels like its happening next week. Just got done booking most of the hotels for the main part of the trip which relieves a little stress. Booking hotels in these little towns requires a phone and a little patience. They dont have online reservations or even a confirmation number to give me. Hope they have a room when I show up.

Back in the Saddle.

Just picked up a new sponsor for the Cannonball in April. Pirate Upholstery out of NY. They will be fixing up my old and busted seat so that I can ride in comfort over the 2500 miles.

I will post some pictures of the new hotness when it comes in. I cant wait to try it out!

Check them out at their link above or on Facebook.

I am now an offical rider in the 2012 Cannonball Run. #24

With a little help from my friends.

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:01:46 -0700

I have an official support vehicle and support driver for the Cannonball Run. Red Rocket (NM Pharaohs) or Jeremy as some know him has agreed to drive me and my scooter to Savannah, GA then follow my stupid slow self all the way to San Diego, CA and then bring me and the scooter back home.

How freaking cool is that?

It doesn’t stop there, the scooting community has already started stepping up and offering some help along the way. Lisa aka Princess Fury is helping me reach out to other places to fill in some gaps in gear that I need to make the ride. Nick O.aka Jersey might even come out and make a little documentary about the ride.

Scooter Mercato has stepped up to be my shop sponsor. They will be assisting with consumables like oil, tires, and spare bits that I need along the way. A newcomer for me is Piston Ported who is going to provide me with “Vintage Scooter Parts, Apparel and Shit” which includes some a new pipe.

So with all that lined up, I sent off my registration as well. I should have an official rider number next week.

Cannonball Run Update: Finacial Aid.

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 09:36:30 -0700

The Cannonball Run is inching closer everyday. I have started the unsavory task of putting together the final Financial Plan for this adventure. Research is telling me that it will take about $4000 to make this happen. That covers everything from shipping my scooter to the starting line to daily meals.

I am sending out requests to businesses to see if I can get some help and defer these costs a bit.

I will also be trying to put together some events to see if I can get some help from my friends and family to make this a little easier as well.

What do you think? What would it take to get you to invest?

What is the moment that you grow up?

Is it your first broken heart? Is it the death of your first dog?

All I know us that I am thankful for my mother protecting me from the heartache that enviably comes with adult hood for as long as she could.

I only hope to make her proud in my efforts to be a good person. Even if I never want to grow up.

The end of the web as we know it?:

I was doing some reading about Facebook, Twitter and the how we share. This is an interesting take on it all.

What we share is selected to be a representation of the ideal we want to project, not a reflection of who we are. Our curation itself is representative; what we don't say says something, too.
