Aidan Jack


The Seegers are dear my family.
Their house is our is our home in NYC.
Aidan, Sienna, Bobby & I went sledding when the City was at a stand still during last December's white out. I love that little boy.
Aidan has ALD, I don't know what that is, but I am learning, & I know it is serious enough to require bone marrow.
Bobby can be a scary dude, but this has brought him to his knees.
It breaks my heart to know how E. & Bobby are hurting.
Let's keep them in our hearts, minds, pray, contribute or express yourself the way you know how.

SLANT ARTIST

Michael Lichter has put on the finest art shows in Sturgis for years.
I hope I can help him live up the previous successes.
I will bring a good cross section of the art I made over the years, the majority of my motorcycle collection, and some of my favorite bikes built by others.
I have been stubborn, & chosen bikes that may not win beauty contests, but have influenced me.
I will be working on my T.E. Lawerence/Brough Superior SS100 sculpture to pass the time & demonstrate my process.
Please stop buy & say hello.
Cheers, jeff

Friends & family

Jen was able to herd cats.
I wish she was in the picture.
We spent three days using my Pop's place as a hub, as we bumped around L.A.
A room full of my heroes, and I am not talking about names on the speed equipment.
My Dad is a king, my brother Jake rules, his son Nathan is a champ, & Cole, Jason, Job & Aaron need no introduction.
No comment on the dog.


panic attack


The interblognet has created a really cool scene.
I was completely impressed with so many bikes at born free.
Being so used to Sturgis, Daytona & the likes, this little deal, with only a fraction of the bikes drawn by the larger venues, just ruled.
Literally more neat machines than I have seen at events with 100 times the volume.
I thought it was very appropriate that it was located in the very place that held the Hootenanny, as the faces were familiar, but the the pompadours were traded in for beards & lovely locks.
My dear friend Roger comes right to my studio & does me right every time, my travel scheduled jacked that up.
Jason & I hadn't shaved or had haircuts in months, we were terrified we would lose each other at the event, so we made a call.
Well past closing, Donnie & his crew at Hawleywood's in Costa Mesa dialed us in.
Proper man pampering, is all I can say.
Lotions & creams, strait razors & clippers made fine gents of us both... well as much grooming could do.
We left the next day, according to the clock, prettier & bags o' goodies to boot. Those boys wouldn't take a dime! I'd tip my hat, but my hair looks so damn good, I won't be wearing one for a while.

Numbskulls, Chattering jaws & USFRA trophies

Sometimes I just need to take a break from the serious sculptures and knock out some fun small ones.

Nice full face

Paulo sent a groovy helmet almost a year ago.
It never made it here!
He kindly sent a second.
Someone in Brazil is sporting a nice Joe King Helmet with the HIPPODROME logo & now I am too!
This beauty reminds me of the helmet my dad wore when he bracket raced at the Antique Nationals.
