Kickstart Cycle Supply is saving Japan

There are two types of people that I have met through motorcycles. People that know Walter and people that don't. honestly, that's about it.....if you've gone on any of the bigger runs, or been to an event east coast or west, you've probably seen (heard) him. If he likes you, then you're all set. you are golden. if he doesn't like you, you're screwed. If he's not sure what to think of you, he will tell you, and then the ball is in your court.

He's doing the right thing and has made some limited t-shirts to help the global relief for Japan. As you know, they are in a state of ruin right now and honestly every little bit helps.

check out what you can do to help right here.

He just moved his Kickstart Cycle Supply shop to a new location in South Hackensack. Its a great location for him compared to the old barn especially since the new spot has indoor plumbing and a toilet! (even if Billy Joel isn't too keen on the town...) Saturday brought me over there to catch up with Walter and co. crap iphone pics to follow.

Walter is to shovel heads like the Japanese are to knuckle heads. He has more of those 70's and early 80's motors and bikes than I've seen at Moreland choppers. If you need work done on your bike and live in the NY/NJ area, give him a call. Oh, and in Walter's words...."don't be an asshole, buy one of the Japan t-shirts..."

Boot Week - 5 Alive - Matthew Davis

I know a lot of people named Matt/Matthew. Maybe its because we have the same name, or maybe its because its a common name....not sure. Matt McConaughey, Matthew Leblanc, Matt Damon....just a few of the Matts that I've kicked a few back with and reminisced about life with.

But this is Matthew Davis, or Matt Davis....DICE Matt Davis? nope.

COMUNE Matt Davis. yes. the most handsome matt, Matt Davis, yep. I'm gonna get rid of this miniature sportster and get an FXR and tear up the west cost Matt Davis, yessirree.

Model: Red Wing 875

"I bought these boots brand new about 2 years ago and they have been amazing.

Out of the box they were so stiff and a bit uncomfortable but after they break in they fit like a glove.
A little trick a good friend of mine taught me is to lace them up and tight as you can and step into a big bucket of water filled to your shins. Sock your boots this way for about 15 minutes and then remove from the water. Leave these on for another 15 minutes and this will help them break in and mold to your feet better."

"These boots have been everywhere with me and have more frequent flyer miles than most of you reading this post."

"A couple call outs on these boots is the shift lever wear on the left boot and the exhaust burns on the right heel. I ride in these boots almost every day so they see alot wear from my motorcycle as well."

"I am about due for a re-sole and will probably get the leather cleaned and conditioned while I am at it.
Definitely a fan of Red Wing and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great boot that will last you a long time."

yep, more Red Wing love.
