Later on tonight, I will be catching up with my good pal Mitch Kirilo to get the scoop on his current project. He's told me a few times already, I just have the worst memory. Anyways, he's been busy turning his 2012 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 into a 'Brat-Tracker' hybrid. This thing has been shaping up to be quite the little beast. I'm going to grab all the pics I can and fill you in on the details as soon as it's finished, but there's no telling when that will be. They thought they completed the bike the other night, until they ran into some issues with the rear end, but it's something to look forward to!
Here's a sneak peak, nothing you can't already find on his instagram @mitch_kirilo, you'll have to dig through a few pictures of his work as Owner/Tattooer at Gastown Tattoo Parlour, but there's plenty of dirty pics of his Enfield Brat/Tracker project on there. Check it out!
In the meantime, I will be posting a lot of stories over the next week or so, to catch this blog up to where it should be. I have been involved in the Motorcycle community just over a year now, and I have a lot of awesome stories I have always wanted to blog about, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I will be posting about my dirt bike trip with pal Ryan Moase to the Sunshine Coast, as well as our awesome experience hitting up Wheelies Motorcycles in Victoria, and camping in Sooke. I'm going to post the story of my experience working at The Shop Vancouver, and the rad people I connected with during my short time there, plus a bit about my solo ride this summer to Toronto where I stopped by Town Moto for a visit. I'm not going to spill the whole story, cause it will be too much for my blog, but I am currently taking my time writing a story about my trip, that I plan to make physical copies of when it's finished.
With all that being said, I would really love to try and get the word out about the blog. Anyone that can help out by sharing the link to motorcycle friends who might be interested would be very appreciated! As for a little perk to get some people actually following me on blogger.. earlier this year I hand carved some stamps and hand made screens using drawing fluid and paint brushes. I screened a few different T-Shirts and Hats, and they turned out like a fucking 3 year old did them, but hey, I tried. Actually though, a few turned out like double lined blurry, you'll feel drunk when you look at some of them. Most inconsistent batch of shirts ever. Welp! The first 3 lucky (local) people to follow this blog will get a free hand made T-Shirt or Hat of your choice. I will be selling the rest of these haggard Tees/Hats off at $10/$5. I've got around 100 items left, help me get rid of them so I can get my first batch of real shirts done! (I'm at 12th and Clark in Vancouver, or I can deliver them to you at my earliest availability. I threw some magazines around this stuff to make it look better then my fucking floor and it still looks like shit...)
I've noticed there are a few reads on these posts that actually aren't from me, brings a smile to my face :) Thanks to everyone who has taken interest so far. I'm stoked to see what we can do with this blog!
