First time on a bike!


This must have been in '79 or '80.

Back in the saddle

Two years ago, summer of 2007, my dad had a serious stroke that left him completely paralyzed. The doctors didn't have much hope for him. He was in the hospital for a couple of months, thankfully he has good insurance. Three months later he was in a wheelchair. He'd regained the use of the left side of his body but his right side was still paralyzed. I wasn't sure if he'd ever walk again. Flash forward to last Saturday; he got on his Harley and took off. I wasn't around to witness it but was a little choked up when I saw him Tuesday and he told me about the ride. He didn't do much, just go a couple of miles but he fuckin' got on it. His motivation to work out has always been to get back on his Harley. At times I doubted that he'd ever get back on it, so it was great news to hear that he'd taken his bike for a spin.
I can't wait to go on a road trip with him.

Bratstyle inspires art


This has inspired me to paint an amazing picture. My ego-centric tendencies have chosen myself as the subject!
