'69 Eldo
This is for sale, I saw it the other day. One owner from new. 120,00 miles, everything works and it drives and stops great. Great paint, straight body etc etc. It does need a new exhaust. $5k but I reckon you could beat him down on the price to quite a bit lower. Damn, now I really wish I had some mollah.
R&P
The new issue of Rolls & Pleats is out and its a corker!! This is put out by our good friend Jerry. If you like traditional Hot Rods and Kustoms, this is the magazine for you.
Equation
So quite a lot of people have said to us
"You two travel all over and have parties, how can you afford to do that?"
and
"I bought a T shirt off your website last week so that you guys can travel all over and have a good time"
and
"Who the hell is Dr Glory?"
Let me try and explain how it all works, it's actually quite simple. We pick a city, or a reader will suggest one for us. We then get a reader/friend who lives there to find us a venue. Usually a bar. Normally we get the place for free because the amount of drinks they sell on that one night pays their bills for months to come. Then there's organising bands, djs, PA,s etc. whose services are usually donated free also. We book our flights and hotel and ship all the mags out by post. Me and Dean pack a large suitcase each with as much Dice merch as we can fit keeping them under 50lbs in weight. We fly in and set up a booth at the party. 9 times out of 10 we can earn just enough wonga on the booth to cover the costs of the flights and hopefully some of the hotel bill too. Some cities are more expensive to visit than others but at the end of the year when we work it all out we usually break even or are only out of pocket by a small amount.
So there you have it, jobs a good'un.
The whole point of these parties from the very beginning was to come to a town and meet all the friends we have made through the magazine but have only spoken to via email. And to get like minded people together who may have never met but live in the same part of the country. And get to look at some great bikes. And to have a fantastic time. All this whole worldwide motorcycle thing that is going on these days really sort of feels like one big family to us. Of course it is good publicity for Dice, however that is, and never was, our main agenda. See you at the next one.
p.s. Dr Glory is an idiot
Tornados And All That
Man that was one huge twister out there in Alabama. The tv images are crazy. We really hope everyone is ok.
On a lighter note though, check out the weather for this weekends Dixie Roundup at Larrys Garage Company Customs and our Dice party, both taking place in Birmingham. Its going to be warm, sunny and awesome.

So, mmmm...
...like I said, Justin is skating again after a 20 year absence.
Although he did manage to break his wrist about 10 minutes after this picture was taken.

Conartism
Our good friend Conrad Leach is a great artist (issue 6 cover) and the proud owner of many hair products and a spare tyre. He has just finished up 4 tasty wallpapers that you can download from the BikeExif website.
Cal. Proud.
Our friends over at The Evil Goods have made a limited run of these California skate decks...They are brilliant!!
Wonga.
This is a 500 Euro note. In Europe this is known as the 'The Bin Laden' because sightings are extremely rare. Try spending one of these fuckers, it's impossible. At least 4 people went running for the hills when we flashed this bad boy.
Mr Monk
has landed and is fine tuning his bike for the ride down to Mexico next week on the El Diablo.
Wes And His Bike
are in town for a month.
It would be rude not go for a ride then, even if it was just up the road.

Cro Customs for Born Free 3
Caleb is and has been for many years now one of my best buds. Michael's video I think sums up Caleb's calm personality and great bike building skills all in 1 minute and 10 seconds. Peace, love, dope.

"My name is Shane Taylor from Boise ID.

Thanks for the great Magazine"
Shane
Great bike, many thanks mate. Coming soon.
Shane: So you're Jack Wilson.
Jack Wilson: What's that mean to you, Shane?
Shane: I've heard about you.
Jack Wilson: What have you heard, Shane?
Shane: I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar.
Jack Wilson: Prove it.
and
Shane: There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.
