MEET UP AT DIAMOND DAVES.
AS ALWAYS,ADMIRING HIS CHOPPER GLORY. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THE CHOPPER GODS WERE FROWNING UPON US THIS DAY.
I LOVE STICKERS,SO DOES DAVE.
WE FINALLY GET GOIN AND CHRIS ALMOST DIES.
HEY MA!!
NO HANDLEBARS!!
WE DEAL WITH THIS ROAD SIDE FIX FOR HOURS. ANGELO KEPT LAYING IN A DITCH,THEN I REALIZED HE LOOKED LIKE A DEAD BODY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,AS DID THE PEOPLE WHO DROVE BY. MORE MOTORISTS STOPPED THAN BIKER'S. BIG DOG'S AND GOLDWING'S BLASTED PAST US.
BACK ON THE ROAD,PARANOID.
THIS CAT STOPPED,HUNG OUT TILL THE JOB WAS DONE. WE THINK THIS DUDE WAS A GUARDIAN ANGEL SENT FROM THE CHOPPER GODS. AS HE MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED AFTER WE FIXED EVERYTHING. I'M SURPRISED HE SHOWED UP ON FILM.
ALMOST THERE. ANGELO'S BIKE CAME IN HANDY,BLASTING TO GET PARTS IN RECORD TIME.
ARE WE THERE YET,OVER THE SHOULDER PIC.
FINALLY WE MEET UP WITH THE X-WINO'S. AT PAUL'S AWESOME BIKE SHOP.
GRINGO,MAN OF THE HOUR'S. HE WAITED TILL WE GOT THERE. THEN THEY SPLIT. WE DIDN'T GO,HAD TO FIX MORE SHIT AT PAUL'S SHOP.
PAUL AND GRINGO HELPING OUT.
PAUL'S SHOP. HE LET US USE WHATEVER WE NEEDED TO GET CHRIS'S BIKE ON THE ROAD. RIGHTEOUS DUDE.
FINALLY WE START BACK TO SAINT PAUL. ALOT OF OTHER MECHANICAL DIFFICULTY'S PLAGUED US,LIKE DAVE REBUILDING SOME OF HIS MAGNETO IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT,CHRIS'S BATTERY DIEING. ME BEING UP FOR 40 HOURS AND BURNT I DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYMORE PICTURE'S. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A CRAZY DAY,I HAD FUN. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,PAYING CHOPPER DUES. I GOT TO HANG OUT WITH MY FRIEND'S RIDING OR SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT'S ALL APART OF THE EXPERIENCE. MY SHOVEL RAN LIKE A TOP,WHICH I AM GRATEFUL FOR. IT WAS A GOOD DAY!!!
Nothing like the old bars coming apart,been there and it's fucking scarey.We all have those gremlin days,but it usually works out in the end.Stay up!!!
