We decided to print up some merchandise and now have it available to buy online. Hoodies are limited, but we will look at printing up more if we run out.

MATTE BLACK CARBON
We are getting bombarded by the weather here in Portland, but once things lighten up we will be reviewing this amazing helmet from Bell. For now check out some garage shots….that matte carbon is mean as hell.
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.
Thanks to Gilgamesh Brewing the garage got one bad ass kegerator. Late 40’s Frigidaire stocked with Gilgamesh Copper and Ridgeway IPA. They’ve got some amazing beer and couldn’t be a nicer bunch of people. If your in the Portland / Salem area it will be easy to find a bar with their brew.
Spent a few days down around Santa Cruz last week for a trip to Bell (more to come on that soon). We rolled by Canepa Motorsport Museum in Scott’s Valley to check out their unbelieavable collection of cars and motorcycles. This is just a small sample of what they have going on…seriously awesome.
It’s been one hell of a summer and the lack of updates reflect that. Now that the weather is turning the garage is calling and we’ve got some cool projects on the list - ‘69 Triumph Trophy, CB550, CB500, ‘68 BSA, CB750 and a mild restore of the MT125 (pictured) to start.
Bitterroot Trip
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.
Trusty Switchblade
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.
