New Blue Collar Moto
The link to the new blog> New Blue Collar Moto:
I think Im good to go again.
The old 'Blue Collar Moto' blog is now dead.
The 'New Blue Collar Moto' blog is now on line!
I'll keep this one running for the next 4000 pix and start over again next year.
I checked into a bunch of other blog hosts today and they all seemed to be geared for little school girls or full of there own ad's. Screw that! I'm sure there's another service out there that's good but I'm a man of limited patience with making something work on the puter. I signed up for a couple other blog sites just to find out the pic storage is limited to 2GB. I don't even think that would last a month. Not even worth getting started.
I had to create a new AOL account and email to make this work. The old bluecollarmoto@aol.com will still be the only email I ever check so don't send anything to the one listed in my profile. I'll post it at the top of the side bar this time around. This is going to take some time to get things rolling like the old blog but at least its going to happen without costing a bunch of cash.
The 'New Blue Collar Moto' should taste better than the 'New Coke' did anyway."

Talk about timing! Just after I post about adding friggin ad's and I'm about to post a bunch more pix from the Sinners Shindig I get this from Google.
"you have exceeded your total photo upload quota"
Now this is news to me. I didn't know there was a limit to how many pix you could download. This is just turning out to be a bad day all around. Except for Andy from Classic Cycles letting me borrow a Triumph clutch hub puller for my 79 Bonny. Thanks a bunch Andy! You the man!
In around five more days this place would be around 100,000 hits. There are 2306 posts as of now and apparently over 4000 pix. According to Blogger/Google. All this in just under a year. Now they want money every year to continue posting pix. Well fuck that!
I could just start posting over on my Blue Collar Moto Photo blog that Ive been slacking on or start another one. Blue Collar Moto 2.
When I have the account set up and have downloaded the pix from last Saturday I'll post the link here.
I would post a funny pic to show my disgust but they wont let me.
I wonder if this is why the Flying Dutchman changed his blog address last month?
I have a question for everyone. What would you guys/girls think if I ran a few ad's on here until I find a job?
I tried to set up a poll in the side bar but it wont go threw for some reason. So I'm asking you here. I wont mind if anonymous posts are all I get on this one. I don't want to do it but things are tight. I have said I would never monetize this place so I figured I would ask everyone's opinion before I make up my mind. They would just appear on the side bar. I think clicking on them is what would bring in cash.As soon as I find work they would be gone.
Ok. Im a dumb ass. They didnt change the date for the Long Beach Swap. I read it wrong. Its on the 26th.
Drrrrr
The fuckers dead already! Give me a break!
Sick of Al fucking shakedown artist Sharpton and all the fucking crying BS fuckers everywhere I look! Glad I don't have to drive by the Staples center today! Fuck! Good riddance!
Oink!
"Ex-Chicago cop gets 19 years in robbery sting
Mahmoud 'Mike' Shamah guilty of federal racketeering and conspiracy charges
By Jeff Coen Tribune reporter
July 3, 2009
A federal judge sentenced a former Chicago police officer to more than 19 years in prison Thursday for raiding a storage locker and stealing what he believed was $30,000 in drug cash.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman said he believes there are two Mahmoud 'Mike' Shamahs -- one the loving husband of a schoolteacher and father of a 4-year-old boy and the other a South Side tactical officer who thought he could brazenly steal on the job.
Some of the victims were drug dealers who had a few hundred dollars taken from them at a time, the judge noted."

Slice of heaven?
If there were a stripper and a cold keg of beer on the other side of the field I would have to say yes!
Long Beach Swap was going to be this Sunday! They changed it to the 26th..................................................................
And don't forget about the beer chugging egg eating contest at Jost's afterwards!
I wish I had some cash for some of these prints by Tugboat Studios!"Thee Coreman"
Ya, I would kill myself on one of these!
But I would have a great time doing it!174mph down the 405 at 5:30am after a big cup of gogo juice.

The Classic MotorCycle
Tim over at Century Motorcycles was nice enough to lend me one of his magazines the other day. Figured why not post a few articles.Sinners Liberty Shindig 09 part 2
Still just getting started on posting pix from the 4th.
Bunch more to come!
Stole this pic from Dragon over on Back Talk. You just cant fake a pic like this! Oink!
"A Waffle House employee is suing the Gwinnett County Police Department over what he says was an unprovoked encounter with an officer who stunned him with a Taser.
The department’s internal investigation records reveal that the officer used the weapon like a toy with tacit approval from two superior officers.

From left, Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Gary Miles was fired and Sgts. Chris Parry and Joey Parkerson lost their jobs after Miles allegedly stunned a Waffle House employee with a Taser without provocation.Recent headlines:
GGC to break ground on first dorm
Police cadet charged with burglary
Lake Lanier swimmer in critical condition
• Gwinnett County news
Daniel Wilson, the 22-year-old waiter, spoke publicly about the encounter Wednesday at his attorney’s office in Snellville. The incident has already resulted in the arrest of Cpl. Gary Miles, 33, and the resignations of Sgt. Christopher Parry and Sgt. Joey Parkerson. None of the officers could be reached for comment this week because their phone numbers are unlisted.
Wilson said all three officers were regular customers at the Waffle House at 2725 Grayson Highway in Loganville.
He said the restaurant provided police with free food.
Wilson said the officers often pointed the red laser from their Taser at him playfully. They would do so when Wilson picked a song they didn’t like on the jukebox or when telling him not to mess up their order, Wilson said."

I have a bunch more stuff on Lightning Mikes story as well as an update from our fabricator friend in Berdo coming up soon.
The Lone Ranger cap gun set.
Always wanted a set of these when I was a kid. Hell, the grocery store brand was good enough for me!
Today the cops would shoot a 3-4yr old for having something that looks this good.
Monday Pinup "Lady-Wildflower"
Check her out at DeviantART.
Sorry. Puter still wont let me do the link thing.
King of the Dare Devils Joseph Kittinger!
In case you don't know who he is. Hes the guy with the biggest balls of them all! He rode a balloon up to 102,000 feet and jumped out! I saw a documentary on him once with allot of camera footage of this record jump from the edge of space. He was not at all like today's dare devils. You would never catch him shoving a Hotwheel up his ass and rolling down a hill in a porta john while midgets shoot flaming arrows at him. There's some good footage of him doing this on youtube. Check it out!
Genuine American Badass!

Always great hanging out with you guys!
Sorry for the red eye.
Sinners Liberty Shindig 09 part 1
There weren't as many bikes as last year. A lot of people were doing the family thing I guess. But still there were more than enough killer bikes and cool people to keep my camera busy!
I wound up taking over 250 shots between drinks and Brownie breaks. As usual I'll be posting them up here over the next week or two. 
The Horse came out and shot this bike a couple few issues ago. One day they may even put it in the mag. Here's a sneak peak of Kit's killer Triumph. Those of us here in So Cal have been diggin on it for the past couple years.
Thanks goes out to all the Sinners for putting on this years Shindig!
Always a great time!
Man, I love everything about this pic!
Don't forget about the Pismo run this October!Blue Collar Moto Does Pismo
Been on the look out for beaver jokes and funny pix last week to help celebrate Canada day.
Unfortunately this is all I could find. Hahahaha! Seriously though we love our brothers and sisters up there in the great white north.
Happy belated Canada day!
Go Blackhawks!
They say that whatever doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. Builds character.
I don't think they were talking about hangovers. Would someone stop setting these things off inside my head!
At least I feel twice as good as I did the Sunday morning after the Bash. That one was a world class three day hangover event.

I'm not sure what I'm even doing out of bed at this hour of the afternoon. Tied one on last night. Hope I wasn't too retarded drunk.
Kit on the 405 making some time getting over to the Shindig.As I recall, I was doing alright until I started eating that brownie.
I'm going back to bed. I'll post up a bunch of pix when I get back up.
My head is still spinning.

Tonight Fuckers! Sinners Liberty Shindig!
Hittin the road in about a half hour for this years blowout.Ive had a bunch of practice taking pix since last years shindig with the new camera. Looking forward to getting a shitload of images tonight! Better than last years.
I would like to say there is one and only one party here in So Cal of the summer you cant miss out on. But I'm glad I cant say that! The Bash was soooo much fun, especially with Kutty's pre party startin it off. Thanks again for all that free Pizza man! The DicE Party's are, well, There DicE Party's! What more is there to say? The Larouche party's have always been so much fun. Cant forget about the Street Chopper 40th party at Hanks! So I cant really say this is the BEST party of the summer. However, without a doubt it is a MUST attend and going to be a fucking real time!
See ya all there around six.
