Street Chopper Issue Release Party at Spitfire Motorcycles

I finally got a day off from the family and wanted to do something with friends. I was supposed to ride up with Bill to Spitfire but he had family stuff holding him up and I would guess he was a bit burned out as well with his last week 1000 or so mile ride through Nor Cal.
I left my house solo roughly around 1:30 and made it up to Corona by 2 to meet up with Lucky Tim and the Wompy to go up to the Street Chopper Spitfire gig. I will admit I'm not into most chopper parties/motorcycles parties at that, but man I am glad I went. I am now quite impressed with a company called SPITFIRE and glad I had the opportunity to meet and check their stuff out, which on a normal basis I would have not - SPITFIRE is putting out some very high quality Chopper guru stuff, if you have not had the time to check it out you must!
The Party was great and very well put together. They had a raffle (who one the bike) which seems the theme these days in which I find pretty cool, They had a some fun bands and had free beer, red bulls $1.20 tacos and plenty of water to go around. The weather was hot and humid, it almost made it unbearable but being around so many talented people and good friends made it worth while. On a bad note, Wompy had a hell of a time getting his bike to start so as I sat there waiting in my full face helmet, I got way overheated and by the time Wompy got his bike started I was so stoked just to get airflow by moving I forgot to kick up my kickstand and almost high sided out of the parking lot - lolz! I guess that's what I get for making fun of the Denver Chopper photo shoot! hahaha
After that we hauled ass down to orange county to go to the Salt Ghost premier. My bike started running like shit, I think I need to go through the carbs and clean them up, no big deal (I hope). We ended up seeing allot of good friends at the Cuban restaurant then headed on over to the bar for the premier. I was so stoked to see my friends making cool shit. The video was amazing, just so kick ass! The Salt flat racing is one avenue I have not yet explored and just seeing it in from the view point of an ol' vintage triumph being re-born and ruling all the while by people I consider friends was amazing to say the least.

Beer of the Day

Firestone Walker’s Reserve: Porter: 5.8% ABV: Limited Release: 22oz and draft
Walker’s Reserve is an elegant dark ale featuring robust flavors of espresso, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. This wood-conditioned brew employs five specialty malts along with smooth silky oats for added complexity and flavor. Gentle English Goldings and spicy American Cascade hops together lend a perfect finish to this big, bittersweet ale. Somewhere between porter and stout, this unfiltered and bottle-conditioned beer is produced in small batches for the true connoisseur.

Beer of the Day

Deschutes Hop in the Dark: Black IPA: 6.5% ABV: Limited Release: Draft
Cascadian Dark Ale – this noir version of an IPA has subtle coffee undertones born of a blend of oats with dark, Munich and crystal malts. What emerges is something deeper, less orthodox, and all its own. After 22 trial runs in our Bend and Portland pubs, we got it right.

Ossa TR2801 Trials Bike

Cafe racers, custom motorcycles and classic motorcycles

Ossa TR 280i

One of the greatest names in competition motorcycles is back: after a 28-year absence, the Spanish company Ossa has restarted its production line. And this is its headline bike, the remarkable 67kg TR 280i. Yes, that’s just 67kg—or 148 lbs, for those of you with imperial leanings. Like most motorcyclists, my knowledge of trials is mostly limited to those eye-popping videos of Dougie Lampkin riding through English stately homes. But this new Ossa looks genuinely interesting. The motor is a 272 cc two-stroke, with its single cylinder tilted backwards and the injection system and filter box on top.

The radiator is behind the fuel tank and filter box, where it won’t get splattered with mud. This unusual but logical arrangement also lowers the center of gravity—obviously critical on a trials bike—and also results in a shorter exhaust system. The suspension is equally well thought out: Marzocchi provides the forks, and Öhlins has adapted its TTX system for the rear mono shock. An oversized 40mm upside-down fork configuration is in the works, which will keep unsprung weight even closer to the ground. And the chassis is a mix of aluminum and chrome molybdenum steel, designed to keep welding to a minimum. I bet you can throw this one around like a mountain bike … if it just had a seat, it’d be perfect.

Beer of the Day

Deschutes Twilight: Blonde Ale: 5% ABV: Seasonal Release: 6pk
A lighter, yet full-flavored, aromatic Ale for the long days of summer. Twilight’s solid malt foundation pairs with distinctive Amarillo hops for flavors every bit as intriguing as bigger, heavier ales. A back porch, lingering sunset wonder.

Vitalic

Beer of the Day

Dogfish Head Festina Peche: Neo-Berliner Weisse: 4.5% ABV: Seasonal Release: Draft and 4pk
A tart and refreshing Neo-Berliner Weisse fermented with loads of peaches.

Sears Racers

Beer of the Day

Karl Strauss Boardwalk Black Rye
An American Black Ale with a robust West Coast hop profile. Black and caramelized rye malts provide a spicy and complex malt character, while zesty Ahtanum hops lend a vibrant floral aroma and clean citrus hop bitterness.
Specs: 8.0% ABV – 80 SRM – 80 IBU
