FoundryMoto Party & Smoke Out West

Pat & I rolled out of Carlsbad  last Thursday morning, when we made it to the Foundry compound we were immediately greeted by Matt who made us feel right at home by getting us all set up for the night and giving a grand tour of the facility, bikes, cars, trucks, exotic animals, shooting range, and a plethora of memorabilia. With in a couple of hours a huge party broke out, bands were playing friends were rolling in. We ended up in a secluded fire pit area with George & Wendy Counes from Spartan Frame Works, AZ Nick, Rob & various others mingled in and out

Good times....

 A huge thanks to the FoundryMoto guys we had a great time and managed to stay out of Sheriff  Joe's tent city.

Friday morning started with a huge hangover and ungodly heat but we pushed on to Cottonwood in a convoy of three vehicles. Chris in the Biltwell rig, Rouser Rob in Mr. Groper and Pat and I . Chris got the holeshot, Mr Groper over heated and got poked with a stick, but we made it in a couple hours time.

Tatooine?

Pat, Rob & I riding into Cottonwood for hardcore dinner.

We caught up with Trumpnut Nick (IE: BabyJesus) Friday afternoon at camp and in typical Nick style he brought three bikes none of them running. a couple hours later his wife Breanne's bike was running, clear coated, pinstriped and ended up winning editors choice or something.

However in Nicks defense He and Breanne did show up with a line of cool parts for sale.

Saturday we rode up to Jerome watched the crazy bagger scene, chatted with the Jerome sheriff about his "ridged project" and road some of the twisties towards Prescott and back, Fun Stuff.

This is Cynthia she does the books or shipping or some shit @ Foundry. She also got $800.00 for getting loose on stage? Thanks for the bug repellent.

SideBurn issue #3

SideBurn issue #3 arrived just minuets before we hit the road to Arizona. Good reading and great images made the drive through desert more tolerable. It's nice to confirm that you don't necessarily need a dirty denim vest to associate with a magazine of this format. Thanks to Gary & Ben, keep it up
