Barber, the sequel

By the time we got all the way to Alabama, Squid had still managed not to fix itself. I spent a lot of my weekend like this.

But not all of it. While I had broken my bike, Kate had broken herself, so I rode here bike

...and she, didn't

Kileys place

Patrick spent most of the weekend making his son Zeke into a celebrity

While Junior did what Junior does...

...make awesome happen.

Matt raced the van. Not sure who won, but I'm pretty sure the van didn't know it was racing.

We all made some new friends:

I pinstriped some helmets, Skyler pinstriped some boxes

Mad gringos out the woodwork!

I bought cool, useless stuff at the swapmeet

We tried to fix 2 strokes, as it goes

Kate threw some motorcycles, and won a motorcycle.

And eventually, the 3RM bike came out of the boxes

Can you think of anything better to do on a weekend in October. Next year... riding Sqiud.

Barber, the sequel (part 1)

We broke down a lot less this year, let me just say that right at the beginning.

But that doesn't mean nothing happened...

This year the group grew a little

Jay, his wife Alice,

myself,

Thanks to Iron&Air for taking this picture

and Junior

Packed ourselves into Jays truck between the bikes

While Matt,

Kate,

Tori,

and Skyler,

I think he's been drinking, that must be why he's blurry.

packed into the Big Blue Beast

Which they then attached a port a potty to, filled it with motorcycles, and drove across the country.

The in flight entertainment CB required constant fettling

When we arrived at Jay and Alices hotel (apparently they prefer comfort) it was time to offload some bikes.

So much Retro Moto metal

That first night, when the bike in a box was still in a box:

The Barber post

We went to Barber... and it was good!

Packed up the van

And headed out.

Matt

 Kate

 Skyler

 Jr.

myself

...and Barb the Barber Barbie

Got to Kileys in the middle of the night

And then broke the van first thing in the morning

Matt didn't mind, mostly 'cause he used it as an excuse to start drinkin'

Got back to Kileys, and fixed the van.

 There's yer problem!

Then Kate's bike was broken, so I scribbled on it

Then Skylers bike broke

So we went to the races:

Awesome!

Damn awesome!

...and damn!

Rode a little bit, painted a little bit, and hung out a little bit

The man to see in Alabama

Then Jr.s bike broke

 so we went to the museum

watched Flug put Nixon back together

 and went home

Until next year...
