I’m in Los Angeles.   Got up at 2, and flew here this morning.    Hanging out in the hotel, doing some work, and figured I’d throw out a blog post.     Saturday morning, the official Easy Rider Tour Begins.    I’m stoked as hell to be involved.

It’s always been my favorite movie, ever since I first saw it.    Sometimes I wonder why.    At first, I used to love it all but the ending scene.   The older I get, the more even the ending makes sense.    I don’t know why.

I remember in 2006 when I first found the sacred mountain Gas Station, then years of  riding it and OCD research (ha-ha) to today, when I actually get to tell people the stories of the movie…. I never thought a stupid movie would have this much effect on me.   I’m glad it did.

I’m going to blog this one from the road.    There’s a million useless facts I wanna get out.

Much L&R to EagleRider for putting this all together.   They do things top notch, and #1 in the world for a reason.

Shit, is it saturday yet??

One of the first movies I remember seeing.   What a great song.   A favorite of my mom and dad.

I understand.

Next friday, we strike out.    I’m pretty excited.

Gonna ride the route again.   I’ts been a few years, but the stories and ride are fresh in my my mind.   Best movie ever made

I’ll post a lot of pictures.     Man, I can’t wait.

life is a motherfucker.    You can laugh all you want about it, but we all get hit with the hard things, at least anyone who’s lived out of their parents house more than 20 years.

Do the hard things.   Face your fears.    I’ve found, in my short life that The hardest things are usually the right things.   The right things make you the happiest.  Thats the truth.

Even if your voice shakes, speak the truth.   Even if your legs are weak, walk toward the right thing.   Stare them bitches right in the eyes, even if you don’t know why.    Its how real men get strong.

That’s my take on life.

If you know your history, you know that this raid meant nothing strategically.   It was a message, and I got to think these men bore that weight,   accepted it, and flew off that carrier anyway.

now there are 4 of them left.   Great men.     What i’d give to sit down with just one and hear the stories.

Pretty moving.
