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.

Paris Montparnasse, France

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 ?

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


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...
