Ring My Bell

Here is the damage to my HJC mx helmet from the head first fall I had. What you can't see in the picture is a crack. Sadly, the helmet is trashed. Guess it doesn't really matter as I don't plan on riding anytime soon.

What’s It Gonna Be?

If you haven't guessed by now, I spend a lot of time on YouTube and Funnyordie.com. I can't get enough of these sites and finding hilarious stuff people come up with. I want to share something with you I came across a few months back. I find myself going back to it every now and then just to chuckle. This video features Dr. Ken who played the hilarious Asian doctor in Knocked Up. If you haven't seen his outtake from the movie you're missing out on the best part of the movie. Anyway, Dr. Ken teamed up with Mike O'Connell to make this awesome music video. What's It Gonna Be? on FunnyOrDie.comJust...

Grunge

I never got into the "grunge" music of the early 90's. I was in my transition from Milli Vanilli to Metal. So I devoted all my time to Metallica and Pantera. Anything outside of metal was absolute crap. I refused to listen to the Nirvanas and the Alice in Chains of the world. I told myself "It's just trendy BS for the masses and it would soon go away". Even today I tend to fight the trendy stuff, I just have a harder time trying to do it. I like the Justin Timberlakes and Timbalands out there. I just have to draw the line on Fergie and any American Idolist. In the past couple of years I have been...

It Can’t Rain Everyday

I was listening to a bunch of songs trying to find something for an idea I have. I came across this P.O.D. song called 'It Can't Rain Everyday'. I was blown away because they don't say the band name or mention Zion in the song. Aside from that, the song is actually pretty good. It also fits with the idea I'm running with right now. Check out the song. This little one tries as hard as she can Do anything just so she could fit in She wants a friend so bad she'll do whatever they tell her To make them smile she would misbehave But all the while they would laugh in her face She begins to cry because...

CM400 Build

I've been tearing up the interweb looking for what other people are doing with the Honda CM400s. There isn't a ton of stuff that I'm finding. The ones I do find are pretty freakin' sweet. Check some of them out. Some really great looking bikes. My brain is working overtime coming up with ideas.

Hitting the big time

Our short film Socially premiered yesterday at the Dobie theater. It was a pretty fun experience screening the movie on a big screen. The film was the third of fourth from the last film. Afterwards, All of the directors got up for a Q&A. That was pretty awesome. I just wish there were more questions. Because of the requests from people I went ahead and put the film on YouTube. Andrea wants to adjust some things before putting on YouTube so it looks better. No matter what you do the quality on YouTube is crap. So I went ahead and put the final product up and it looks pretty good. So without...

Goodbye to my love

I've been so busy researching stuff for my Honda CM400E that I forgot to post about the CRF250R. The bike got sold last Friday. The first person to come look at it took it home. Since I decided I wouldn't be riding for a good long while, I thought I should get rid of the temptation. Much like a recovering alcoholic might throw out all the liquor in their house. I had to get rid of the thing that would be the death of me. So far so good. I haven't had a craving or anything. Hi! My name is Rob and I'm addicted to dirt bikes. I have been sober for 12 days and still going strong. Goodbye to my beautiful...

1981 Honda CM400E

I don't think I've ever blogged about this. Last September I bought a 1981 Honda CM400E to act as my beginner street motorcycle. I bought the bike on the cheap(which means it's not in the best running condition) and quickly sent it off to a shop to rebuild the carbs. Since I got the bike back in October it has been an awesome ride. The only problems I have with it are that it's ugly and I've outgrown the power. In January I started thinking about restoring or doing some custom stuff tot he bike. I was looking around on YouTube to see what other CM400 owners might be doing. In my search I came...
