Paradise. It's also an amazing island to ride a bike around, the roads are as smooth as a babies bottom with plenty of hair raising mountain bends to keep you entertained. Just saying.

Man Down.

Last week was not a good one at all. 3 good friend of ours all got hit on their bikes by cars at separate times in and around Los Angeles. Jordan, Andreas and Lucifer are all in the hospital with various injuries at this moment in time and in a lot of pain. There will be a benefit for all of them next Saturday 28th July @ True Tattoo, 1614 N. Cahuenga Blvd, Hollywood, Ca. Tim Hendricks will be mc-ing the night and raffling off lots of goodies that friends have kindly donated and all of the proceeds will go to the boys. If you would like to donate anything please send it to: True South Relief Fund, C/O Tri-Co, 4657 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90027. There is also a paypal address for donations: teearrelief@yahoo.com

Wish we could be there!

For Sale.

Caleb says..."This Pan-Shovel was originally built by Thomas Torjesen a few years ago when he was working with Cole Foster. The new owner lives out of state and hasn't had time to ride it. I rebuilt the motor, swapped the carb to another zenith, and rewired it to 12volt over a year ago. After I did the motor work, I rode it 300+ miles. The owner rode it 20 miles from my house to were it sat for over a year . There is nothing mechanically wrong with this bike. Other than the motor work and 12volt the bike hasn't changed since it was built. It has two small dings in the paint on the right side tank. minor and easy fixes. I just got it to my shop, it will need a battery, clean gas, and the carb gone through to get it back on the road, other than that its golden.
Please email me if you are interested."

Hello David,
I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If the deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.
Simon

Dear Simon,
Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.
Regards, David.

Is that supposed to be a fucking joke? I told you the previous projects did not go ahead. I invested a lot more time and energy in those projects than you did. If you put as much energy into the projects as you do being a dickhead you would be a lot more successful.

Dear Simon,
You are correct and I apologise. Your last project was actually both commercially viable and original. Unfortunately the part that was commercially viable was not original, and the part that was original was not commercially viable.
I would no doubt find your ideas more 'cutting edge' and original if I had traveled forward in time from the 1950's but as it stands, your ideas for technology based projects that have already been put into application by other people several years before you thought of them fail to generate the enthusiasm they possibly deserve. Having said that though, if I had traveled forward in time, my time machine would probably put your peer to peer networking technology to shame as not only would it have commercial viability, but also an awesome logo and accompanying pie charts.
Regardless, I have, as requested, attached a logo that represents not only the peer to peer networking project you are currently working on, but working with you in general.
Regards, David.

You just crossed the line. You have no idea about the potential this project has. The technology allows users to network peer to peer, add contacts, share information and is potentially worth many millions of dollars and your short sightedness just cost you any chance of being involved.

Dear Simon,
So you have invented Twitter. Congratulations. This is where that time machine would definitely have come in quite handy.
When I was about twelve, I read that time slows down when approaching the speed of light so I constructed a time machine by securing my father's portable generator to the back of my mini-bike with rope and attaching the drive belt to the back wheel. Unfortunately, instead of traveling through time and finding myself in the future, I traveled about fifty metres along the footpath at 200mph before finding myself in a bush. When asked by the nurse filling out the hospital accident report "Cause of accident?" I stated 'time travel attempt' but she wrote down 'stupidity'.
If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas.
I would then travel several months back to warn myself against agreeing to do copious amounts of design work for an old man wielding the business plan equivalent of a retarded child poking itself in the eye with a spoon, before finally traveling back to 1982 and explaining to myself the long term photographic repercussions of going to the hairdresser and asking for a haircut exactly like Simon LeBon's the day before a large family gathering.
Regards, David.

You really are a fucking idiot and have no idea what you are talking about. The project I am working on will be more successful than twitter within a year. When I sell the project for 40 million dollars I will ignore any emails from you begging to be a part of it and will send you a postcard from my yaght. Ciao.

Anyone else would be able to see the opportunity I am presenting but not you. You have to be a fucking smart arse about it. All I was asking for was a logo and a few pie charts which would have taken you a few fucking hours.

Dear Simon
Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts. Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living. Unfortunately though, as your business model consists entirely of "Facebook is cool, I am going to make a website just like that", this non exchange of free services has no foundation as you offer nothing of which I wont ask for.
Regards, David.

Get fucked.

Pegs.

And I'm not talking about the trousers we used to wear in the 80's.
Jason sez "I cast a few of these a while ago just for fun and a few people have hit me up since then so I decided to make a bit more this go around. They're about 1-1/8" shorter than Andersons and available in either polished or tumbled. We also decided to make a box for no other reason than to give you something cool for your shelf for drugs, rubbers or change" get a pair HERE but be quick 'cos he didn't make many.

My good mate Wendel stopped by Tri Co in his wicked '60 Cadillac today. I haven't seen this car for a couple of years and it brought back some really fantastic memories...and some really crazy memories too! Anklebiters: "Let's go up to Hollywood and party with Brian!" Me: "Wait...which one is Brian?" Anklebiters: "Your an idiot."
