SF Vintage Cycles

Went to check out the San Francisco Vintage Cycles shop today and met one of the owners ( i think). He's called Chris, a really nice dude.We had a little talk and checked out the places and i bought a helmet. Chris told me they started the thing 'cause it was hard to find jobs around Bay area.They restore and build mostly old British bikes but i think i saw one Yamaha there as well. If youre in the area go say hi.
Im on a family vacation so we didnt have that much time to shoot the shit and take pictures but you get the idea.
They've got a website HERE

And couple of days earlier i drove down to San Jose to skate with my friend Louie.
He took me to Harrys HofBrau to eat some Turkey.Which was nice.

Inspiration nation.

Some Finnish engineer did this starmotor inside a back wheel of a motorsickle in the 1920's pretty dope innit??!!
Check out the exhaust, it runs inside the wheel. The carburetor is on the other side inside the brakedrum.

Last friday was cool. I went to Technical Museum of Helsinki and after that
we had lunch at Beefy Queen (the name says it all) and after that had some beers at Bar Llamas.
Good stuff all around.

Trying tattooing

Here´s the first try to do some ink under the skin, did this in my friends tattoo studio in Lahti called Otherside tattoo. Tony helped me to get the setups ready and helpped a LOT in the beginnin but after the first cigarette break my hands stopped shakin and i was finding the flow to do that stuff. I´m happy how the pic came out.
Now just have to wait until it´s healed and check the final result, to be continued for sure, just have no idea how much all the gray ink will shade.
Can`t wait to do another !

Some photos from the good ol' days

When i used to skate more.
I should still skate a hell of a lot more than i do but maby i'll get some skating done next summer when my bikes finished.
The naked guy is called Vekke. A good friend of mine. Allways up for a challenge. We had a team in the Helsinki Cup.

Its a weekend long competition held by a Finnish skatemag called Hang up.you get a list of stuff to do and if you try to do them all it takes all weekend. its real fun, you get to drink beer with your friends and skate all kinds of spots.

startin all over again.

Last night i started to mock up my bike again. Got a new front end that is a little bit longer than the old one so she sits a bit higher now. But i think it looks pretty good like that. Handlebars are gonna be a little problem since theyr so close to the tank.
I was thinkin of doing some small straight bars on the sides but i dont know. its a looong winter ahead so i think i'll figure it out some day. But so far so good.

Rick Ross - Super High ft. Ne-Yo

I knew that its pretty Cool to ride a ride motorcycle in the states nowadays but i didnt know that its this cool!

Rick ross changed the maybachs to Harley Davidsons. He used to wear five Rolex's on both hands and now hes flying threw desert with a big ass Harley wearing a leatherjacket. My choise for rides could've been a bit different but hey neon coloured road glides ain't bad either...
