sometimes the cool stuff isn't really "cool," but "important." it's my hope that my information and rants against corporate government, economic manipulation, our eroding civil liberty, and the war on the hard working middle class has had an effect upon you, and you are ready to do something about it instead of merely continue to pretend the world is not crashing all around, everywhere.
you can see a perfectly readable version on facebook, with capital letters and the dramatic foundation laid down by thomas jefferson, among others. click here to "attend the event" on july 4, 2012.
much has happened in the past year. the biggest change i detect is how people are infinitely more upset with the greed of bankers and corporations. they understand how "corporations are people" is at the expense of the common american citizen-worker. the purposely distracting theater of democrat vs. republican has been exposed to anybody who can think independently as two faces of the same corrupt machine. antiquated and simplistic concepts of "freedom" mixed with bold-faced lies about "the constitution" have been used by politicians and the media to divide us as they proffer their morally bankrupt ideas of "democracy" and "capitalism" with a self-entitled sense that we have been manipulated into buying it.
it is a mistake to believe that, mister bilderberg.
in 1979, barry goldwater, the infamous republican senator from arizona, published his autobiography "with no apologies." within those pages he wrote, "in my view the trilateral commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. all this is to be done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. what the trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. they believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. as managers and creators of the system they will rule the future."
remember that the next time you call customer service and "steve" from bombay answers the phone.
capitalism is not democracy. it is not the vision of our founders. it is a fascist form of monetary manipulation with images that repeat before your eyes and echo in your ears a hundred times a day. it fills you with avarice and envy. the message suits those who control it, not those who it is aimed at.
"democracy never lasts long. it soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. there was never a democracy that did not commit suicide."
- john adams
we may soon discover what is truly important, and it won't be driving a new ford truck, dressed in affliction t-shirts.
not that the message they send is clear to you, and not that you can be bought, so the few who control the fate of nations think of other ways to enslave the masses:
in case you didn't watch that short video, this is part what the co-founder of the trilateral commission spoke:
"today it is infinitely easier to kill a million people than control a million people."
- zbigniew brzezinski
no shit. that might not seem like a big deal kind of statement, because most dumbasses could finger that out themselves, but it's the context you have to understand. he is speaking about world domination of the many by the very few.
all right, now for a little metric mayhem, some masculine motorcycle madness, a bit of motobiker bro-ha-ha, and it starts with bikerMetric supporter don wood.
those that don't know much about don wouldn't know he's a "moonshiner." well, seems that's the latest cool thing to be, and while don was cool before this kind of cool was cool (note to self: get a thesaurus), you may enjoy this little vid:
right on, don.
lately the bikerMetric facebook group has been gaining a lot of cats from bali. one of the new members of our little club is a dude named eka. that's him on his raked-out metric chopper.
as you may be able to tell, his chop has a pretty small motor. that's because the balinese government does its best to limit the size of motorcycles to under 250cc. it's a relatively small island (90 by 70 miles) and it seems the government doesn't think anything over 250cc is needed, so they jack up the taxes on larger motorbikes, effectively putting them out of financial reach of the average bali biker.
work with what you've got! i dig it. it's radical.
another group of bali bikers on bM is bobbers bali. they're also musicians:
right the fuck on, gentlemen. thanks for your membership and support.
finally, another bali group is suro wildhogs. here is the bike ridden by one of their members:
another bikerMetric wastebook member who can build a killer bike is david belhassen from nice, france. he built the clean 2004 triumph thruxton 900cc bobber you see below.
after the wheels (21" front, 16" rear), almost every part on this bike was hand-made by david. the frame come from the states but needed major modification to accept the motor, radiator, and other more modern elements of a new trump engine.
many of the parts david made are solid aluminum, including the 2.5 gallon/9.5 liter gas tank (the first he ever built), floorboards, controls, many engine components, the electric box, fluid resovoirs, fender, and the seat pan. he also built the exhaust, the forks, and scrambler-style handlebars. this fine thruxton bobber has an internal throttle and is about to get a two-into-one exhaust. nice.
that was funny. nice. he lives in nice. get it? whatever....
i don't make money doing this but i keep working because it's been made clear to me there is a need for more than the same old shit, different day. whether it's in metric motorbike form or socio-political rants, i've heard from you and you're digging it. thank you all for your patronage of these alternately drunken, rude, poetic and sometimes sublime pages.
affordable custom metric motorbikes is a metaphor regarding who we are, what we are doing, what is needed, what is not, and why we care. it's a philosophy of how to live when everything is being taken from you, and not wanting it all back when you toss the thieves and liars into a mass grave and light it afire.
that's all i've got, folks. it feels like there is more and i'm sure there is, but i am going to enjoy new year's eve in new orleans with the woman who inexplicably loves me. it might be the last one. let's make the best of it...
