^digital mockup    We built this bike for Travis from the band Gym Class Heroes last Spring. He mashed it around on the Warp Tour (which they were headlining) all summer. The Warbux crew went and met up with Trav a few times over the summer for a lil tune-up, which was good times. Super big-up and props to Travie, couldn’t ask for a radder customer. Can’t wait to get crackin on the next project!! 

Dan and I were super happy to have almost everyone that works with the company in SF for the Creatures Rally.  We all met up at an awesome Dim Sum restaurant i’m a huge fan of, and had a RAD dinner. Its very rare that everyone in the 1977 Family gets to hang out, we all shared stories from the rally weekend and talked peds… it was a highlight for Dan and I.

Thanks to everyone without you guys we’d be lost!

Warbux finished this a little while ago. we built this Romeo Thunderhawk for a customer, i’m pretty happy with how it came out, if we had built it for the shop I prolly would have done a few things differently. None the less, the owners are super happy with it, the bike blazes and, turns some heads when it goes by.

 Keep an eye out if you’re in Chicago..

A really great video sums up a really great rally.  This was my 37th moped rally, and it felt like my first.  Gender Bender 08 - San Francisco Moped Rally from Harold Smith on Vimeo.

Thursday Pat and I got to go on a little trip to LA.  We stopped by Choke, which is an awesome motorcycle/moped/scooter/coffee shop, and finally got to take it all in.  They do it right, and the place has an amazing vibe to it.  I met Jeff the owner, and got to see him in action fixing mopeds, and running his business.  Choke has a decor of hand painted signs, and rad rusting 2 wheeled gems.  They have an esspresso machine, and serve great coffee.   From Choke we went down to visit Shaw and Colby.  The have a bunker of crazy projects.  The bikes and parts scattered around would make any pedder wet his or her pants.  I got to see Flynn’s Malossi Peugeot motor, and I am pretty stoked to see it finished.  It is a monster.  I won’t reveal the details, but if it is a cool french part, it is on there.   Shaw fired up his Puch chopper, and woke up the neihborhood blasting up and down the street.  He then revealed the secret powers of Parmakit and a Malossi 4 petal. Colby took us through a tour of the infamous shipping container, and I saw at least 3 bikes I had never seen before.  From there we went to hang with Brad drinking PBR’s in a hottub.   All and all it was one of the best moped trips I have had in a while.
