Just askin'.....
If you're traveling this weekend and you "opt out" of the body scan, you know you're gonna get patted down.....
Now I wonder.... Typically they have male TSA agents pat down men, and women agents pat down the ladies.... What if you tell your friendly neighborhood TSA agent that you're gay.... Can you request a pat down by an opposite gender agent? What if the agent is gay? What if he's gay AND handsome? I have questions....
Somebody try this for us and let us know how it goes

I'm sorry/You're welcome
Yes, this as old as sin. Yes, you've probably seen it before. But if you haven't I guarantee it makes you laugh. Even if you did see these back in the day.... Watch them again, for the first time. We ride for Powerthirst

Meet Muttey.
This clever spinning maneuver is Muttey's version of wankin' it. You never know when he'll be at the shop to greet you. He's our mascot and top salesman
Preach on Brother.
"Being an avid reader of the exploits of my friend over at mostexerent, I am struck by how often the issue of value vs price comes into play, and agree fully with PG's succinct explanation of it;
"There really is no cheaper alternative. You get what you pay for. "
Pg hits the nail on the head here for me in an issue that I think more and more defines the sort of peron you are - living within your means is the most liberating stance you can take in the evolution of your style, but to live within your means doesnt mean settling for what is cheapest, it means having less but having better. A single great cigar, once a month, with one great meal is better than a hundred cheap smokes. Likewise with clothing, to be "cheap" often does you more disservice in the way you treat your own things. If you have two great pairs of shoes and three well cut suits, all of which you treat with something like reverence for the joy they bring you to wear, you will always look sharp.
So, for myself at least, after many years dealing with all things classic menswear, I have come to this conclusion - cheap is always just cheap. Less, but better, is the path of the quality man."

Can it PLEASE cool the fuck off around here?
Cause I'm getting pretty sex-nuts and retard strong (any other Kevin Smith fans out there?) to start wearing my leathers again. The feel, the smell, the creaking, the weight.... Oh baby.
I keep finding myself staring at old leather reference photos, or searching the "bay" for used horsehide
Probably time to give my Mister Freedom Bronco an oiling.
Just gave three hours of my life to Mr. David Himel's VintageLeatherJackets Blog. Time well spent.
This damn indian summer in LA has got to end eventually.... Leather is sweat absorbent right?
(have a whole gang of pics from David's blog I'm gonna post.... but blogger's being difficult...Soon!)
