NO SLEEP TILL PIKES PEAK

here we come, the second stage of the O.S.F.A.
The legendary Pikes Peak International Hillclimb Competition.
after a very busy month, i finally got accpeted to race my 1967 Triumph TR6C at PPIHC

my schedule was tight as hell, but i finally made the flight to LA with Stephane Lascols AKA Oldschool.
aster the third allnighters in a row, the flight was the best and we both slept the all way.

Our first stop was at Mr Ponce in Ocean Bitch to pick up my Boogie Van, we then had dinner
at the Blanchards designer's crib. the occasion to share some crepes with true friends. Marc is the co-founder and was the designer of One Industries since he quit a year ago. he's a man of taste and a
living motocross human encyclopedia.

check what kind of art he displays in his living room.

O.S.F.A ON TOUR

SOUTHSIDERS 3RD YEAR PARTY

Both Le Admiral and i were invited to participate at the groupshow organised by The Southsiders during their 3rd year anniversary party. amazing venue, cool people, nice rides and great global vibe. we loved it.

after the party on our way to sleep somewhere in the pink city, my brother Jerome got hit by a drunk driver. too drunk to see the light was red for him. bim. i saw the crash in my mirror. Jerome is tough and only got serious browses while his 71 Triumph got more damages. it should be alright, we stopped by Ateliers Chatokhine on our way back to Paris to leave the Trump in the best capable hands.

thanks again to Vincent Pratt and his Southsiders crew.
