Before...

Got this off a dude in Norwalk. Guess he didn't know what he had.
Doesn't run but it will soon.

After...

Day 1 Stripped it down. Now it's time to figure out why it doesn't run.

Wet Boards...

Ortiz set up his flashes for Colin to thread the needle. Sounded like a good idea until his board got swallowed by the L.A. River leftovers.

Ortiz #2

Brandon films in dirty ass L.A. river swamp water, showing his dedication.

So while I was out filming with Collin Provost the other day this guy showed up on his dirt bike, and I asked him if he would jump the gap. His answer was " I don't know bro, I ain't ever jumped this thing on concrete before" and then he just went for it. Honestly I thought he was gonna eat shit.

And Then...

5 minutes after he jumped the gap, he showed up with his girlfriend in a bikini. I tried to convince him that he should jump it with her on the back, but she wasn't down.

Tom's 72' Ironhead

The last time I rode with Tom he had a 67 TR6 that took 30 min to kick over.
Out with the old and in with the new. Love the new bike Tom. When do I get to ride it?
72 was a good year.

I love seeing Chris Ortiz climb fences.

Lost roll of B/W from 08 Road Trip...

I found this roll of film from last years road trip. When I saw what was on it couldn't wait to post some of the pics.
A lot of time on these trips I'll ride with my Canon AE1 around my neck or in my tank bag. Here are a few pics from last years trip.

Stop and smell the roses..

I really love going on these trips, because we take mostly back roads from stop to stop. Sometimes I'll just roll in the back of the pack and pull over without saying anything. This was one of those occasions. I saw this bridge and thought to myself, you gotta turn around and take a photo of that. So here it is. Siked I stopped.

Dell, Montana...

We fueled up just before hitting the snow covered mountains in Dell, Montana.
Dell, Montana Population 35.

Sucking Amazingly...

Yes we rode through those mountains, and yes it sucked, and it was absolutely amazing at the same time. Something I'll never forget.
Dell, Montana Road Trip 08

Nate's pissed...

Man I really need to remember where all these stops are. Nate's a good friend of mine. Funny thing is he actually sold me my Triumph. He thought I was a total douchebag, then we became neighbors, and then friends. Now we have 3 road trips under our belts and lookin forward to #4.

St. Regis Montana...

Last years roadtrip is just one big wet, cold blur. I can't remember if this is before or after all the snow, hail, rain. Either way I'm sure someone bought beer, cigs, and hotdogs. 2 1/2 months and we're heading out again. ROAD TRIP 09 is right around the corner.
