My good friend Panhead Jeff from Vegas wanted some photos I shot of his bike framed so he could put them in his house. This gave me the opportunity to explore some ideas I had for framing and way different how I have been doing them in the past. Thanks to Casey Johnson for the inspiration.
One of the guys you can always count on. Jeff Goo of Vegas. Talk about a true friend. Runs out to California with our other friend Nate at 3 in the afternoon on Saturday. Goes to the GNRS for less than an hour and jumps right back on the freeway back to Vegas. Gets out of Nate's car, jumps on his Panhead and heads over to the Hard Rock Hotel to hang out with me and Liz till about 2 in the morning. Good times.
"So me and Nate went to micar fab and design company to drop off some shit for Nates project. Before we left we got the chance to meet the owner Brian Caruso. It turns out that he is a third generation midget car racer. Took us upstairs and gave us a tour of the place. Really nice guy. And they do really good with good prices. Hope u like. J"
My buddy Jeff G from Las Vegas sent me a bunch of pics from his trip to Salt Lake City. This first set is for his buddy Joel Parker. From the brief email Jeff sent me Joel got hit and run over and must have been really bad because the doctors didn't think he was going to make it. Joel must have had a angel watching over him because he beat the odds and is on his way to recovery. They are having a benefit show to help him out this coming September.
Jeff then went to the shop where they are building Joel's bike. Not yet complete but Jeff sent me pics of the progress.
Got more pics from Jeff's trip that I will be posting later in the week.
My good buddy Jeff Goo in Las Vegas emailed these pics today. Jeff is on his Panhead in the red shirt while at the Born Free 3 show. The other Panhead is his buddies Rob from Salt Lake. The bike was apparently built by a guy named "Bones" that is pretty well known in the Vegas area back in 77. Jeff is off to Salt Lake this weekend to visit his crew.
My good buddy from Vegas, Jeff Goo, rode in on his Panhead to the Born Free 3 show. Well at least rode most of the way before he had a major break down, but he still made it to the show.

While out in Vegas I stopped by to shoot with Jeff Goo and his Panhead. We had a plan to meet at a spot around the strip. Unfortunately, just four blocks from his house his clutch lever breaks. After attempts to repair it we ended up shooting the bike in his garage.
These photos are from "Torch". Click here to check out his blog. Helmet that my friend from Las Vegas Jeff Goo had done for me just after the last Viva Las Vegas show.
