Desert delight

Went out for a nice long bike ride thru angeles forest then up and around the desert. I was getting blown away on hwy 138, seriously windiest road ive ever had my bike on. Then I came accross the tank and the monster van that ive posted on here before just as web links. It was really cool to see in person and couldnt miss the monster from the road. 

FANCY A THAMES?

ALOHA MR HAND

I heard the sad & terrible news today about MCA. The Beastie Boys have always been a favorite of mine, I went to lots of shows growing up and one of the best shirts I ever got at a show was at the 95' tour. 

"Now I got the gun you got the brew. You got two choices of what you can do. It's not a tough decision as you can see I can blow you away or you can ride with me" -MCA 1986

YOTA TESSELLATION

HIACE SNOW FLAKES IN FUTURE FORECAST

COLLINS DODGE

I was running around town doing errands over the weekend and look what i found, Joes freshly painted dodge streetvan. This van is really cool to me. I first met it when it belonged to the my pal who was the previous owner and coincidentaly shares the same last name as Joe. The day came where he broke the news to me he had sold it. In no time I met joe at the first slow ride and was glad to see it found such a good home. Super glad to see the fresh paint and Joe has a few other tricks up his sleave. Thanks for pushing us all to want a fresh coat of paint and keep up the good work buddy.

Tried to get out to Mohave desert for some fun with the bike and guns. Transfer case is being a total fucking buzzkill. Looks like its bike and tent this time.

ECONOWEST 201

I made it over to the econowest show and got to hang with some fellow vanners and check out all the econo's. I made it outta there with a aircleaner from WOC Brad and traded one of our pins for a nice new cozy from the wheels tent. Check out the photos and pretend you were there.

HARLEYS RIDE

The perfect ending to my van scouting in portland. The city has endless VW's, some other random live / work vans and art projects on wheels. The last one I came across was "Harley's Ride" This bad ass is what vans are about to me. Very stylish and tough. Harley should be proud. I was actually so stoked on this find I turned around and tried to get into the wrong car. The owner of the  wrong car was watching and though I tried to break in to his car and told me he called the cops. I explained I was so blown away by this van that I spaced out and went to the wrong car. That didn't help, he was sure I was on drugs and a thief so I kindly apologized and left.

HI (SESH) ACE

Sesh (bedbug) is back on the van hunt, If anyone knows of a well taken care of and preferably 4x4 hiace or Delica on the west coast let us know. Heres a nice one I saw today.

ZOMBIE CAMO HONDA

SWAMP THING

I think of Portland's plethora of bus's, this is my favorite. Nothing says pacific northwest like a mossy VW bus.

VW HI-TOPPER

There are soo many vw's in portland that beauties like this barely stand out. 

NASA RAM

I think this hi topper could be perfect with a NASA theme.
