Also, if we really wanted to we could camp at Poopy's on friday and journey the rest of the way on saturday morning after a hot shower and some breakfast at the Poop's. Again, just ideas I get in my head at night when I'm cleaning buses for a living.

Just an idea
I know in my case money is a bit tight right now, and I'm sure it is with everybody else for that matter. I noticed on the C.O.C. blog he mentioned "free" camping is just 20 feet away or some shit like that. So how's about it?

IT'S NICE HAVING A WELDER....... BUT
LATELY I'VE BEEN GETTING REQUESTS TO WELD ALL KINDS OF THINGS. PEOPLE WANT THEIR BOAT FIXED, BOAT TRAILER FIXED, FENCE POST REPAIRED, DIRTY OLD STORAGE BOXES THAT ARE CAKED WITH ROAD GRIME FROM THOUSANDS OF MILES
OF USE ON A SEMI TRAILER FIXED. USUALLY NOTHING THAT INVOLVES ANYTHING FUN OR CREATIVE.
YESTERDAY I GET A CALL FROM A FRIEND WANTING TO KNOW IF I CAN WELD A SPARKPLUG IN PLACE ON HIS LAWN MOWER BECAUSE THE JB WELD ONLY HELD IT FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE SPITTING IT OUT-

Baby Killer
I got a visit from my good friend Josh and his new bike friday afternoon.. This old Panshovel is just his style.. Its fucking dirty and mean and looking to kill you if your not on top of your game.. I think he's got an angel or some shit watching over his shoulder< He hung out for a while and we shot the shit, He chugged his Mountain Dew and headed back to the corn fields.. I sure do miss seeing his pretty face as much as i used too!
TA-DAH!
RIDING A MINIBIKE INTO A SNOWBANK AND FLYING OFF IS LOTS OF FUN. MAKING SURE YOU DON'T HURT YOURSELF WHEN LANDING IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA. LITLE DID I KNOW, HAVING ALL THIS FUN IN THE SNOW WOULD LATER PAY OFF DOWN THE ROAD......
ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO I WAS OUT RIDING WITH A BUDDY AFTER WORK. ITS WAS AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHEN BIKES ARE STARTING TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. AND YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS. IDIOTS DRIVING AROUND LIKE KRAMER HAD COME THROUGH TOWN PAINTING COMFORT LANES ON ALL THE ROADS.
WE WERE COMING UPON A REAL BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT HAD A WHOLE LINE OF CARS WAITING TO TURN, WHICH ALSO COVERED UP MY LINE OF SIGHT OF WHAT WAS WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE. I SLOWED DOWN SOME CAUSE I HAD A FEELING.....
AND MY FEELING WAS RIGHT!
OUT POPPED AND OLD LADY PULLING A U-TURN, RIGHT UNDER A NO U-TURN SIGN. WHEN SHE SAW TWO BIKES HEADING RIGHT FOR HER, SHE STOPPED LIKE A DEAR IN HEADLIGHTS. I HIT MY BRAKES BUT WASN'T STOPPING IN TIME, SLID DIRECTLY INTO THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND WENT UP AND OVER.
BUT I MANAGED TO WALK AWAY. IN FACT, I NEVER HIT THE GROUND. SOMEHOW I FLIPPED OVER THE CAR AND LANDED ON MY FEET. ONE SECOND IM RIDING, THEN NEXT, I'M WALKING. IN A DAZED DISBELIEF OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I WANDERED BACK AROUND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR TO FIND MY BARS STUCKS THROUGH THE WINDOW HOLDING THE BIKE UP AND MY BUDDY GETTING UP OFF THE GROUND AFTER SLIDING OFF HIS BIKE.
ALL IN ALL, ONE OF THE CRAZIEST THINGS I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED, AND I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN SCREWING OFF ON A MINIBIKE HELPED ME TO WALK AWAY.
THAT AND MY CAT-LIKE REFLEXES-

ClUtCh ChAtTeR
The Leg and I were riding the other day and I heard what sounded like some clutch chatter, even Bobby could hear it riding next to me. Figgard it just needed to be pulled apart and adjusted. Then Natas and I were ripping down 64 twards Uncle Paulies and I thought I felt the trans slipping on me. Weird. This was last week. Been hauling parts around for work in the van and been busy - so haven't seen much ride time since then.
Anyhoo, A slight work injury (rotator cuff and neck sprain) kept me off The Boot Scraper this weekend and so I figgard I'd check into that chatter/slip. Clutch is fine. Tranny ok. Tranny plate...not so much. Front mount:
Top - something looks odd...
Bottom - holy crap...
Happened to find a deal on a new one, on the JJ. It's on the way. The new ones chrome, so it should be stronger.

The 1/2 Hour seat.
Got some foam from The Legs garage, some spray adhesive, and an old leather jacket. I have been riding on just the seat pan for about 2 years and thought it was time to add some cushion. I'm broke as shit, so ya gotta make do with what ya got. Nova Mike added the old timey look to it. Could have made it look a little better but the bonfire was calling my name. It actually turned out to been pretty comfy. Not bad for 1/2 hours work.

Violation Tour 2010 on Chop Cult
I created a event on Chop Cult, I hope this is ok? Check it out and rsvp
T-shirt design
Enter the Beard
ENTER THE BEARD, THE TEASER from Matt Lawrence on Vimeo.
I hope this comes thru Chitown - or at least redbox/netflix. I wanna see! Seriously thinking of doing a clean shave (head and all) and doing a 1 year no cut. No shaping, no trimming, no cutting - 1 year. Hmmmmm...
HELP!
I'm having electrical issues (again). Not sure if it's something I'm not catching or if it's something serious. Battery is good, I had it tested. But if i stop the bike it wont turn over again using the key start. So I have to kickstart it (which has been a lot of fun) but that wasn't working last night either after about an hours worth. I finally had my buddy jump start me with his car and I went straight fucking home and cried the rest of the night and watched reruns of "Sex in the city". Did I fuck something up last summer with all my shorts in the wiring. A guy told me my stator? could be fucked up? I dont know. C'mon Chris (or anybody) help a bruv out.

T-Shirts for this years run.
Yes, we are gonna run some T-shirts again this year. It would be a shame not to. Jay (Lunchbox) is doing the honors of being head of the Violation Tour design team which is awesome since we should be able to keep the cost down low....D.I.Y baby. Punk Rock style! Last years shirts where $20 just because of the design cost and trying to get them printed ASAP.
I am shooting for $10 per shirt at the run....or $15 shipped for all you guys who cant make the run but want to support grass roots chopper events like this one.....but, dont hold me to those prices till I get a quote from the screenprinter.
I would suggest that everyone pre-order a shirt since they will be limited run and once they are gone, they are gone. You can pre-order and I will bring em to town with me if you wish. I beleave Jay (Lunchbox) will also be working on stickers and I know Josh was talking about making some of his own design which should be interesting as well. So, stay tuned and we will update you soon when the design is ready to go!

HEY JUAN CARLOS.....
SOME FRIENDS OF MINE WOULD LIKE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YA ABOUT GETTING IN ON THE RY4L ACTION. CHECK'EM OUT AT MYSPACE/PLIERSBAND OR E-MAIL ME AT XANDERBUILT@LIVE.COM AND I CAN HELP GET SOME LIKE MINDED PEOPLES TOGETHER-
Badass'
It's official....i'm over shit.......I love Chicago but,i'm starting to think it ain't for this grumpy old Seabass...Hipsters,traffic,tight jeans and hot girls who like sissy boys........maybe i'll head west,I heard womens standards are lower in small towns.....I think i'm over this front end too but,by morning i'll like it again.....
Seems lots of fuckheads are on the roads this year,either it's because it's still early in the season and people aren't used to bikes or people are just fuckheads everyday.Some cocksucker passed me in my own lane twice the other day.I was turning right,used my hand to signal and this guy gets next to me on my left,between me and the curb, as i'm about to make the turn and then he passes me after a two lane stop light turned bake into one lane.I couln't fucking believe it.Had this guy not had ''retired marine'' stickers on his car,I probably woulda been more of a dick but,I didn't need my ass kicked by an old timer with old man strength.
This is my boss on my bike,it's pretty funny because he talks like Diamond Joe Quimby.His favorite band is Bon Jovi.........but,all around a nice guy if you gotta work for someone.....
