Wednesday Night Visitation...White Knuckle on Black Ice!


Scott was up from Kentucky workin' in Philly and paid me a visit


He followed me out for beers and wings

Refreshments...

Head light blew out ...mini mag and tape time

Nice! Ready for Black Ice!

 My buddy Scott was up from Kentucky spendin' some time workin' in Philly for the past couple weeks. He stopped up on Wednesday night and we headed out for Wings and refreshments. It was pot hole city smothered in black ice...what a fuckin' winter! We had a great time although my headlight blew out (again) and I had to tape a mini mag light and some other LED thing I borrowed, to the handlebars for the slide home...

    Well today is Ken Nagahara's birthday (I think). Ken is a "Photographer Extraordinaire"...He's out in Oakland Ca but shoots for Roller Magazine Japan. I spent some time with Ken this past September at various events covering three states in the Eastern US.
    First, it was the Brooklyn Invitational in NY, followed by a real surprise at my Surprise 50th Birthday Party in Eastern PA, right after that was the AMCA National Meet out in Jefferson PA and the same weekend we were off to the Jersey Shore for The Race of Gentlemen in Wildwood! During and in between all that Ken was shooting photos for Roller Mag.
    Ken is a trip to be around and we had nothing but laughs and good times.

    Happy Birthday Ken! Hope to see you soon...

    DAMN! I thought it was bad yesterday!

    14 inches of fresh powder...

    Fuck it..they plowed pretty good...
    My neighbor snapped this pic as I tried out the roads


     Friggin' Nor'easter dumped about 14 inches on top of what we already had and more is coming tonight...apparently we're in a lull for a couple hours until the ass end comes around and spanks us! The township guys did a great job on the roads so out I go...forgot my jacket...oh well...
