Impermanence

Everything is Transitive, even 16" apes and goofy ass mag wheels.

Kick It

After two months of ice age battery drain, one comes to appreciate a Kicker.

Especially when she roars to life on the second down-stroke.

Chasing Ghosts

Spring is Ghost

The slip in my clutch is a Ghost

That ever-present slow tire leak is a Ghost 

My rage is a Ghost

My serenity is a Ghost

I'm a Ghost

When you meet the Buddha on the road....

When you are road tripping to Santa Fe, one is obligated to pay homage to Georgia O'Keefe, when one finds a picture of Georgia O'Keefe on a Knucklehead (1944 photo), one is then obligated to post it in front of the Kiva style fireplace, in one's room.   

Solid Foundations

The most difficult portion of any inquiry is its initiation.  One may have the most rigorous of methods during the later stages of investigation, but if a false or superficial beginning has been made, 
rigor later on will never retrieve the situation. 
(F.S.C. Northrop 1947:1)

Purity and Danger

The anthropological concept of purity and danger relies 

on the dichotomy between the sacred and the profane.

The trick to putting together a worthy bike, is to err on the side of the sacred.  

The less parts, the less chance of slipping into the profane.
