Levi's & Jeep

  Mighty FC Concept

Just my two cents but I'm thinking  the "Jeep Mighty FC Concept" should be dressed in Levi's trim.

The Levi's CJ5 Renegade was a big damn deal in my home town.

I was 10.


Ok Someone at AMC had a bro at Levi's or vice versa.

And here's the pacer

My Friend Matt.

Matt is part of the original BCM crew.

He up & moved to NYC but forgot to take us with.

Michael Schmidt captured the whole thing, 

it's in the new issue of DICE & 

over at Mr. Schmidt's interweb space.

Poor Mustard.

The Mustard Molester was thieved from a forgotten tumblr, Sorry about that.

The Serrano T100

Our friend Nick's MC habit very much includes 

the knack for buying, selling & in between he cranks out some really nice modders. 

For whatever reason he never sends us any 

of the related propaganda so I poached all of this off the interweb.

It's most likely for sale or already sold, again we have no way of knowing.

I'd ride the wheels off this thing, Nice job Nick!

Sweet,
Nick showed up in the BCM inbox with some better Pics.

Ros put up some shots from his recent trip to California

including a good part of his day at BCM/Carlsbad.

Ossa Monocasco

Over the past few days Art-Tic Ossa electric concept bike has been all over the interweb & although it is pretty cool in a giant electric shaver kind of way what really caught my attention was Art-Tic's source of inspiration.

Santiago Herrero's Ossa 250 Monocoque Race Bike

Apparently the 1969 Ossa single cylinder 250 was a whopping 20hp off Yamaha's powerful V4, however Ossa was not only 45 pounds lighter but stiffer and much more agile.

Over the next couple seasons Herrero showed flashes of brilliance & even won on the Monocasco but during the 1970 Isle of Man TT "tank slapping" headshake would cause Santiago to take out fellow racer Stanley Wood both would go down. 

Wood suffered a broken ankle & both collar bones were broken as well,  28 year old Santiago Herrero died from his injuries a couple days later.

The loss of Herrero caused Ossa to cease it's racing efforts.

Craftsman

An Important figure in my life used to tell me that making wagon wheels is a great skill but in this day and age it won't get you far.

Considering the feeling I get making something with my hands I have no choice but to question that statement.

Cal VMX Round 3 (Gary Chaplin Day)

Every now and then Cal VMX does a featured rider race day, yesterday's MX legend was Gary Chaplin. 

At the awards ceremony Gary took the time to sign & have a chat with every rider who won a plaque. This means so much more too me than the gaudy combo of plastic and cheap marble usually associated with good results at a local race.

It kind of worked.

Race Weekend (again)

Tear down & prep the slow boat for Cal VMX Round 3 this Sunday.

Next week the motor is coming apart, gettin hogged out & breathed on.
