it’s xmas eve and i’m stuck here at work. physically i’m here but mentally i’ve checked the fuck out…
i usually drown myself in coffee and cigs but this morning started out with a nice hot cup of ocha. because green tea fucking rocks…
which quickly led into some tequila that our photographer walter gave me for xmas. thx again holmes…
put on the new mix my homie richErich just sent over…
and started flipping through some mags i just copped at the j bookstore. god i wish i could read nihongo…
first up is moto champ. if you’re a mini bike/scooter fan you’ve definitely heard of this title.
the BARC fam holding it down in nor cal…
the black and glay issue…
street bikers has to be my favorite print publication at the moment… real dudes rocking real bikes wearing real cool gear. no fluff and no fucking chicks in strings.
sr400 pr0n…
lastly is a new mag (to me) called g-works which only features dope vintage j rides. i think we’re gonna have to subscribe…
te27 mango insanity…
since i’m fucking illiterate my magazine browsing went by pretty quickly and i decided to snap off some randomness around the shop. this is what today looked like…
this is what resides behind my desk. if you look close enough you’ll find a fully restored 1986 redline pl24 cruiser back there (more on that later), mooneyes chopper emergency fuel canister, misc decks and scooter parts along with a 2008 HKS calendar that i never got around to put up. shit… the years already over and i really need to clean the fuck up.
some local rad artists who’ve graced our establishment with some art…
if you ever roll through the shop and refer to my decks as reproductions your grill will be met with my fist… no offense.
my homage to hosoi…
the bones brigade. if anyone is sitting on an nos mint rodney mullen chessboard or lance mountain future primitive get at me…
this is paul our shop manager. if you want to get on his good side bring him a huge vat of horchata, piss him off and he’ll make sure your order gets sent to the north fucking pole. ho ho ho bitches…
this is howard our resident ninja, IT specialist, iphone hax0r, and japanese linguist extraordinaire. how does this dude work at BOWLS and not own one pair of shoes? more on this later…
we started the preseason holiday meals with a preseason holiday meal. casablanca in pas is the most legit burrito joint nearest us. all of this for cinco dolares…
