Ran into Elias Parise shooting a couple of our bikes the other day after having lunch. He was shooting on a vintage large format camera and gave us the photo. He wasn’t stoked on it, but the tone and depth of the image is pretty damn cool. Be sure to check out his work.

It took a blown pickup motor in the supply vehicle, a loner pickup from an awesome Dad in Idaho, but we made it up to the mountains. We fished, hiked, sat in the ice cold river and managed to dodge the wolves despite tracks, and crap all around us. Over 1100 miles on bikes not meant for a full day of riding or mountain sand roads for that matter. Passed a million Harley’s all on their way to Sturgis and one lone dude on a cafe bike all packed up like he had been riding across country. Pretty awesome. We took some video footage that we will work into a quick edit as well. Here are some pics from the trip.
A few of us are on our way to the Bitterroot mountain range. There will be plenty of updates when we return.
If you don’t mind waiting on Italians then there isn’t much better than these.
One of our good buddies Jason Miranda heads up a soft goods company here in Portland called Trusty Switchblade. He and his wife Erica have been killing it lately with some awesome handmade goods. Made for TS Cyclecross crew this tool kit looked to perfect to use with motorcycles. I bought one and put it to the test and it’s perfect. For a handmade toolkit you won’t beat the price either.

Thanks to an amazing bracket from D9, the ‘07 Thruxton got a little makeover in the gauge department. Loving the lines of the bike now.
