About the Earl…

Born July 28, 1945, Earl built his first bike at the age of 8.

Fabricated out of a 26″ bicycle frame, 20″ bicycle wheels (each one running two nested tires – they lasted longer that way) and powered by a cast iron, horse-and-a-half one cylinder/four stroke Briggs and Stratton motor off an old Maytag washing machine… it was belt driven, direct drive and didn’t have a clutch so you had to peddle the bike to get the motor started and when you came to a stop sign or a red light either you went through or had to turn the engine off.

The first modification was to make the belt longer, add a spring loaded pulley (and reinvent the slip clutch).

Earl has been building and modifying bikes ever since.

Happy Cinco De Mayo

Very Audrey Hepburn-esque style pictures. Enjoy!

Mr.J.Medeiros from The Procussions feat. Tara Ellis, “Holding On.”

The song/video for this is sick. The homie Rez did the photography for the video. Check it.

Here’s a classic from them back in the days…. Still one of my faves.

Hands down, one of my favorite commercials of all time.

Sick A** video featuring Koston, Kobe, and Ice Cube.

Thanks Marvin for finding this.

This is going to be SICK! That’s awesome Jeff Bridges came back to do this. I wonder what his role is, and the how the story line is going to be…. Can’t wait!

Tim Burton is doing a remake of Alice in Wonderland featuring (of course) Johnny Depp. The trailers looks awesome, as I have always been a big fan of the director and actor. They have always been an awesome duo in film.
