Rippin through NYC
Here are the guys from White Knights in the House of Kolor with Chopper Dave and Mark Nelson Riding at high speeds through the streets of NYC the day after the Brooklyn Invitational 2010.Riding in NYC was a blast,I gotta get one of those helmet cams.
The Second Annual Brooklyn Invitational At around 3:30 or so we made our way over to 14th street for the Invitational.The street was already loaded with bikes and more were just pouring in.The bikes out on the street were real cool,every one,but the ones inside were what the show was for.Builders like Chopper Dave,Max Schaaf,Keino Sasaki,Matt Davis,Lock Baker,Paul Cox and a shit load of others all had there bikes on display.It was pretty damn cool seeing all these bike from magazines in person and being able to see every intricate piece.We rolled up and down the street talking to people and taking in all the bikes.There was a lunch truck set up across the street with po-boys and crawfish,it was awesome considering all the hot dogs I end up eating at bike shows.
At about 6pm me and Ryan went for a ride around town but after a bit It was time for me to get rollin since I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me for home,and yes I said drive not ride.This is the thing,my bike is almost on it's last leg at this point with the exhaust stripped out and hanging on by a self tapping screw and a clutch thats in need of replacement so I figured either ride down with a large probability of having to get someone to come get me in a truck or just load up and take care of myself.I ain't to proud to say that I piggy backed down there,at least I made it.Anyway,Ryan shot over to where my truck was and helped me load up.We said our good by's and I gave him Jay's helmet to drop by the Ale House for him to pick up later because I forgot mine at home and had to borrow it,haha.I hit the road and and made my way north up the coast back to the Cape.I made it back around 1am and was happy to be off the road.I sat in the garage having a beer putting it all together in my head,It was a damn good weekend!
This is what I got for pic's at the B.I. If you see you bike in here let me know and I'll label it accordingly.
This was Ryan's mechanic buddy's bike.I forgot his name too,I'm real bad with that shit.
Ryan's Trumpet next to mine.
Jay did his seat,cool shit!
Jon-Michael of Prohibited Garage brought his XS650 down with the Hated of the World guys.
Nice meetin you finally Fish,get better man.
Here are the bike's from in the show...

There was such good shit it was hard to focus on any one thing!
Day 2 in Brooklyn...
After the Dice party the night before I had met up with T-Bone and headed back to crash for the night.The next day I set out to get some breaky and look around a bit.Since I had slept in a bit It was only a little while till the I.L. Block party started.

Here we go again...
I'm hoping to make NYC this weekend for the Dice Magazine release party on the 17th and the Brooklyn invitational on Sat. the 18th in Brooklyn.The last time I tried to make NY for the GR4 it didn't go so well but this one isn't as far and I think I got some heads to ride with.Only problem is I'm pretty fuckin broke and the exhaust problem on my Trumpet is still the biggest issue.I'm gonna do my best to get this all worked out and get down there but it ain't set in stone.If you know anything that could help me out please share the wealth.Place to stay,place to camp or an old car that I can crash in...ANYTHING! And by all means,if your heading that way hook up with me/us for the ride.
