We can’t stop here. This is bat country.

Here we go again. This time I’m bringing backup……

I began to write this long diatribe about who I think will win their fights. Then I realized how much I dislike reading that kind of garbage. Especially (but not only) when the writer has a conflicting opinion with mine. In the name of keeping it positive, I’m geekin out just to go again. This will be the ultimate summer kickoff for me. I hope I make it out of Vegas alive.

Ninjas in the Airwaves

Went to see Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction and The Street Sweeper Social Club last night. It was unusual and cool to be one of the “younger” people in the crowd. Even cooler to see Eric Avery on bass with Jane’s. But the coolest was seeing the place packed even though money is tight for everyone. A good concert is still hard to beat. And Tom Morello raises the coolness bar for bald-headed brown skin dudes shredding in rock bands.

Ben and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Yesterday I pulled apart my 75′ CB400F to replace the wiring harness and the carbs. I was a bit weary about rewiring the bike but once I got started it all fell into place. This is mainly due to how awesome the replacement harness was made. I got it from a Dutch bike spares shop: http://www.cmsnl.com/. It took a while to arrive but I can thank US customs for making sure it wasn’t a bomb or some sticky bud from Amsterdam while I was waiting.

New wiring, “new” carbs, a little less grease where grease don’t belong… Now I just need to get some bolts for my gauges, wire them up and I’m out of here.
