Man, if you know me, you KNOW that I hate working on bikes. Let alone building them up & stuff. But when it’s a PK Loop, a Quad Loo, and a new PK Ripper race bike, I get kind of excited. I had the 2 retro looptail bikes before, but I gave mine to Rob Dyrdek when I filmed for his “Fantasy Factory” show on MTV. So I just finally got some replacements. I got them built up today & went on an HB beach ride & then down to Sheep. There was a big rut in between one of the sets. It was weird ’cause the rut kind of looked like Alan Foster’s face. Ah, did I just say that!? Just kidding! Man, I wish you a speedy recovery Alan! -If you have not heard, Alan crashed really bad yesterday & broke his back. He’s having surgery tomorrow. Looks like he should be OK in the long run. Lets keep our fingers crossed!
We’ve got a race team photoshoot coming up this weekend in Cali, so I wanna get all my bikes in tip-top shape. Shoot, I think I own like 17 bikes or something. No joke. All SE’s of course. Well, I’ve got a few Huffy TL-88’s up in my attic, but who’s counting.

You only own 17? I was even up in the high 20’s for awhile,, being an old school collector and all. I’ve sold 3 of my bikes in the last month. It’s tough to hold on to all the bikes, just for the space it takes. I went up on my attic at there’s 25 bike boxes full of bikes. So i’ve got it down to about 15 bikes now.. A couple Hoffman ( Evel )bikes, Haro, and a Mongoose….Skyway and a Tahoe..

And no SE’s? I’m sure you got some SE’s in your collection, right!? I’ll get an updated count this weekend when I get them all out for the photoshoot.
