See you there.

The iron horse is a seductive beast, and once you take a look at the old girl those midweek conference calls become a whole lot less important. We take to the open road because of the freedom it offers, it’s becomes our sanctuary, church for sinners.

The fine folks over at Eastside Harley understand this need and are prone to feeding it, so like any good dealer they offered up a sample to get us hooked on horsepower and stoked on stroke.

We made our way out towards Fall City, the weather was beautiful, the road open, and the vibes good. Scott was leading the pack and showing us a great time. We swapped bikes and all got a chance to ride some of Harley’s most well loved machines including a few Fat Bobs, some Sporty’s, and one of Eastside’s custom 48’s

After a lunch full of grease and caffeine we saddled back up and took our ponies home. The ride was great and once you have had the experience of riding in formation with your friends on a machine with as much history as a Harley Davidson, you start to understand the legacy behind the brand.

A giant thank you to Scott and Eastside Harley for the adventure, see you on the open road.

This weekend is the annual Loggin the Buck, an event put on by our good friends over at Peanutbutter Coast. Where longboards are king and vans house the gatherers, this weekend Neah Bay will be full of folks paddling the biggest, oldest, weirdest boards they can find. Stay tuned for a full recap once we return, but in the meantime here is the new teaser for “Daughter”

Enjoy.

Some folks are born with an overwhelming sense to be free of the bonds of modern society, you can find these rebels paddling out into over head waves, pushing ink into skin, or spending endless nights in old garages wrenching on American iron.

One hero of this modern day outlaw society is Todd Blubaugh of Twinline Motorcycles. Todd is a bike builder and photographer in the Seattle area who is not only busy in the garage, but also working to bring together bike enthusiast through events like The Capitol Hill Climb and Two Tribes show that was right here at The Piranha Shop.

Todd is a genuine gentleman with a heart of gold, so if you’re in the market for an old knuckle, café racer, or just some radical photos look him up and bring him a cold one.

Happy Friday Folks. Here are some tunes to set you up for a great weekend.

Welcome to our bi-weekly update of what is madly hip in this beautiful city of ours. As content providers and purveyors of a very cool lifestyle we will be featuring a brand, artist, or institution we think is bringing some flavor to market. Enjoy the first installment of Too Hip to Be Square:

Northwest Axe Company:

There’s no doubt that even though we live in the middle of an urban metropolis we fancy ourselves outdoorsmen, hence the beards and flannels. The outdoor industry is big machine and often can have a granola tech vibe that we don’t necessarily find thrilling. Once in a while though a small craftsman will pop up and bring something to market that is not only functional, but also well designed and crafted. Northwest Axe Company is brand that is moving forward in a direction we respect but will be happy to include in many of our up coming events.

ENJOY!
