The little things
I love when I'm looking at a bike thinking, damn this thing's pretty cool and then I bend down and look closer and I see some shit like this that must have taken so much work. From the seat mount, to the tail light, to the cut up primary cover. What a cool bike. Falcon builds some crazy shit.

More junk
Just what I need, more junk that I have no immediate need for but is too cool to not get. Picked this stuff up on Sunday on a little trip up to Fredericksburg with the lady. Might be interested in trading something for a dual headlight setup or something else that's cool if you've got your eye on anything but no cash sales.

We ended up going over to a friend of Angie's stepdad's house and looking at his stuff and he's got a bunch (10 or so?) old Indian motorcycles from the 40's that he's restored that he's selling, along with a ton of other parts and his Paughco framed, STD Panhead powered "old man pan" with electric start. I wanted to take photos but I felt weird trying to talk to him about shit and not seem like some kind of wack tourist taking photos like I was in disneyworld. Old guys like that are so fucking cool to me.

Full Facial
Ever since a few years ago when Lil' Tard decided to run me off the road on my enduro bike on his way to see Young Jeezy in Shockoe Bottom, I've been a little wary about wearing a helmet with no face shield. In that accident I hit the front brake hard trying to slow down because he was turning right from the left hand lane as I was passing him and my chin bar on my full face helmet did this to his roof:

If that had been my chin I'd probably look pretty fucked up but I was fine. Anyway, I found a cheap little Bell Moto4 helmet a few months back and have had plans to reline it since it's a kids helmet and I finally got around to it. I even kept the original liner that was in it and swapped out the padding for some yoga mat material that fits me way better. I was a little worried the visor would make it annoying on the highway but it did fine at about 70mph on the way to work this morning so I'd say I'm pretty happy with it. It's also nice not having AC condensate spraying into my mouth on the highway.

Darren's Birthday
Yesterday was Darren's birthday so a bunch of us pitched in and suprised him with a skydiving trip. He was stoked. I was never into skydiving before I watched this video but now I've got to do it:

Rode to WV Yesterday
Started in Richmond and went up 33 to Brandywine then headed south to 250, over to Staunton, Down 11 to 56 and back over to 6 via 151. Had some BBQ and got to get in the water at Crabtree Falls. Awesome day with no major problems. We even spotted Yen at breakfast.
