The Hansen Dam Ride

If you have never done the Hansen Dam All-British Ride, do not miss it the next time it comes around. All bikes are welcomed. This was the 30th annual and the 20th year of Norton Club sponsorship. I've always wanted to do this ride and thanks to Earl for reminding me about it, I did just that this past weekend.

The event started bright and early in the parking lot of the Hansen Dam Recreation Center. There were a sea of vintage iron and their riders pensively waiting to attack the hundred mile long route nestled in the canyons of the Los Angeles Forest. The ride started at 10am, but not everyone left at the same time. People left in different sized groups. Earl and I waited by the entrance until we saw a pack we wanted to tag along with. Once we were in the canyons, everyone started going at their own pace as we began to spread out nicely. Every bit of the ride was memorable right down to the well balanced smells of horses and burnt oil. Every now and then we stopped for a breather and checked our map to see if we were heading in the right direction. Four hours later we finally made it back to the parking lot and earned ourselves a pin for doing the ride.

Thanks Earl for showing me a good time! - Scott

Primos Helmet Design - Motorcycle Helmet Restoration

I was so happy with my restored helmet from Rene I had to share the news.  When I first bought my old helmet it was always a little big and the wind at eighty plus was deafening....but not any more.

You may have seen his booth at a motorcycle event, you may have heard of him through word of mouth or you may be just learning about him right now, but Rene Chavez' company, Primos Helmet Design, is a must if you have a helmet that needs a new liner or if it just doesn't fit well. What I find most interesting about Rene's work is the amount of attention he puts into not only the way the helmet will fit, but also the way it will look.  I was more than satisfied when I got my helmet back.  It had a better than perfect fit while sporting its new green crushed velvet liner.  Rene's Trademark: a well fitted helmet lined with high quality foam, low profile look and a personalized dome.  He has an array of cool liners you can choose from, but the dome part is where the fun comes in; this where Rene likes to add the owner's personal touch.  Most often, that signature piece comes from an old shirt.  On my helmet, I chose the very first logo I designed for our company, the One World Studios' #1 shirt.    

So if you have an old or new helmet that doesn't fit right, the liner crumbs are getting to you or if you just want the coolest personalized helmet around go with Primos.
