I went for a nice Christmas ride last week with my friend Jay .

He has this oddball BWM style rig with a sidecar and he rides the shit out of it . We decided to go for a ride down into Imperial beach where he grew up as a little kid before he moved to Chula Vista when his folks split up . I hadn't been down there in ages and it's really been cleaned up a lot .

On the way back up we decided to stop at a San Diego brit bike legend , Sonny Angels . It was closed because it was a Sunday , but we got to peek in through the windows and see all kinds of super neat Nortons & Ducattis and Triumphs .

more nerdy awesome

Who says you have to like one or the other . . . I'll take both !

Star Trek and Star Wars both rule for different amazing reasons . Can't we all get along !!!

Stolen from Chopper Dave's site

We took this picture while we were shooting for the Horse magazine feature . I was apparently having a great time .

I can't see how it didn't make the cover !

Free plug time for the guys at Strider

My son just had his second birthday and he got a Strider running bike . If you want to know more about them go to the site in my links " training wheels suck " and read up on it .

If you have a kid , or know someone with a kid that is around 2 and you want them to be able to ride a bike with pedals before they're 3 , then this is the deal for sure . I've bought several of these for friends of mine and they are all super balanced and little rippers now .

I'm going to take this one apart and trick it out a little , my friend Mikey is going to stripe it up some and I might put some different grips on it . . . but I'm excited to see how he takes to it . He already pushes it all over the house yelling about his cycle and " mommy , daddy bike bike ! Stuff like that .

The mini cut is optional but adds to his outlaw lifestyle . Not available from Strider however .
