Cube Zombie Slave To The Cube…But Trying To Find More….

Taking the Time

If you don't know that I'm a huge Sons of Anarchy fan then you should really crawl out of the hole you've been living in. On Tuesday nights at 10pm my world stops and I sit down to watch this wonderfully crafted masterpiece.

The creator/writer/producer is a man by the name of Kurt Sutter. If you been watching FX network for a while you may have heard of him as he was one of the writers for The Shield, which was formerly on FX.

In his latest blog post Mr. Sutter points to an article on why most network scripted show suck. In my opinion the article is dead on and Kurt's comments are dead on as well...Jay Leno recently moved from the Tonight Show to another show, *exactly* the same as the Tonight Show. Where's the innovation?

Another thing that fuels my passion for this show is that Kurt is a blogger. And he also has a twitter account and actively engages with the fans of SoA. I totally respect him for that. I can't pretend to imagine what it's like to be a writer/creator of a hit TV show but I'm pretty sure it takes a lot of time. I applaud him for making the time and giving back to his fans. I know it makes me want to do whatever I can to promote the show.

If you haven't seen SoA yet it's in its second season. I would *highly* recommend buying the first season on dvd. The cast commentary on the episodes and the extras make the set totally worth the price. I think they can also be purchased from iTunes so you can catch up with the current season.

Buell Shuts Down

Erik Buell announces the shutdown

I have to say I'm not really surprised by this...Seems HD has always hamstrung what "innovations" Buell could make..I think if they turned him loose and throw some money into developing a new engine they could have a have a bike to contend with the imports...But, that's not going to happen now...Such a shame...Way to go MoCo..

I Want, I Want, I Want, I Want!!

I've never been a real fan of bikes like those built by OCC. Don't get me wrong they are awesome machines and I've seen one in person and they truly are art..But I don't want to pay that much for a bike that I'd honestly be afraid to take out..

I found a site a few years back after the Discovery show "Biker Build-off" when they had a British bike builder named Russell Mitchell. He owns Exile Cycles. As he said on one of the shows he said to a guy that he could have any color bike as long as it was black. Every bike he builds is extremely clean and has a very industrial look to it. All the controls are usually hidden in the handlebars and the front/rear tires are ridiculously huge..I'm a fan..My bike now has a 150 front and 240 rear and I'll never go back to skinnier tires..

I asked myself what would be a dream bike for me? Only one came to mind..Meet "Fat Bloke"

Ready to paint this bike goes for 30k...Ready to ride is 50k...If I had the money there would be a pic of a Fat Bloke with yours truly on it . More pics can be found at Exile Cycles

200 Report

I rolled on 200 miles this weekend. I didn't get to ride much Friday since I had to go back to work after I picked up the bike and the wind was terrible as well. Today was, pretty much, the perfect day to ride. Temps were in the mid 50's and the sun was shining. I took all familiar roads since I'm still getting used to this bike and i really don't want to find a sharp curve I didn't know about . So here are my thoughts on the new bike so far..
