Grand-pa' André on his way to work

A looong time ago...

Have a cigar

Did I miss something here ? Paradox...

And it ain't worth a Cohiba.

BLACKBERRY SMOKE 2009 European Tour.

Wednesday december 9 2009, at le local in Marseille France. Magic happened. Live acoustic performance of Blackberry Smoke. The present and future of the southern rock genre !

The first album "Bad luck ain't no crime" in 2003 was great. "Little piece of Dixie" is even better ! And these guyz are really cool. What a great show ! Brit Turner, their drummer told me about his '54 pan... guys like him are necessarily interesting ! Paul Jackson (guitar and backup vocals) is on the picture with me.

Nice (the city of Nice). Winter on French riviera. Warm and sunny.

Homemade bike.

I can't remember where i stole this picture on the web. Affordable parts and probably a lot of elbow grease for its owner. Ain't it rad ?

Unusual barfly in my headquarters...

... however very pleasant

This photo always has been one of my favorites.

Too bad they never found the money to make the movie...

GO WATCH THIS ! F T W - trailer

Perfect day for a ride and a thick juicy steak.

There's only one French motorcycle manufacturer : VOXAN.

o.k. it's no Harley, nor S&S motorized chop... and a stock bike ! It's plain fun anyway !

Most of all, create a new motorcycle company in my beloved country (or what's left of it) starting from a blank sheet of paper , well... you need a lot of money, a vivid imagination and a huge pair of balls.

Ca c'est de l'info !

Sonny ne roule plus en Harley-Davidson. Dans son premier bouquin, le célèbre fondateur du charter d'Oakland égratignait la Motor Company, mais quelques pages plus loin, disait quand même tout le bien qu'il pensait des FXRT (désormais collectors). Il y a un moment déjà, il avait mis en vente sur Ebay sa Road King Classic. Il leur préfère désormais cette machine au look futuriste produite par Polaris. Une Victory Vision ❽ Ball ! Pour l'échappement, il reste fidèle à Thunderheader. C'est du american made et c'est sûrement confortable mais au niveau des lignes...

In the street. Je prends en photo ce que je trouve, dans nos contrées, on peut pas se mettre un chopper Panhead sous la dent tous les quatre matins.

Shitty cover versions. Nice cover by the way !

Indiscutablement, c'est moins beau qu'un V Twin.

WILD MOTORCYCLES ♯1

Still number 1. Le temps passe !

Merci Ben. Repose en paix mon pote.

I CAN GET OFF ON YOU

Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby

Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too

I don't need them now, your love was all I was after

I'll make it now, I can get off on you

I can get by on little

Or nothing at all I know

I can get high just thinkin'

about you and so

Well, take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby

Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too

I don't need them now, your love was all I was after

I'll make it now, I can get off on you

Who would have thought

This was somethin' that I'd ever do

I'm working it out

Mellowing out on you

Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby

Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too

I don't need them now, your love was all I was after

I'll make it now, I can get off on you

Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby

Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too

I don't need them now, your love was all I was after

I'll make it now, I can get off on you

Un peu de culture

En tapant Pan-Shovel sur "Google images" comme ça au pif, je suis tombé sur ce mortel specimen. Putain de chop : y'a tout ce qu'il faut et juste ce qu'il faut... Apparemment il s'agit d'une expo-installation intitulée Born To Be Wild (original ça hein ?) qui s'est tenue au Kunst museum chez nos amis Suisses. J'ai pas trop compris le propos, mais cette meule : elle me cause elle ! (Celui qui rajoute une daube bolt-on "Live To Ride" sur ce pur engin sera exécuté sans sommation.) © Olivier Mosset, Steven Parrino.
