Andrew Quinones Video Project

My buddy Andrew filmed and directed a short narrative video for a school project. Check it out.
My other buddy Jeff Goo was the motorcycle rider. Thanks Jeff for representing Joyrides. He's wearing the Joyrides Art Co "Enjoy The Ride" t-shirt.

Len Higa


Len came out for a Speed Merchant photoshoot on Saturday. I am editing photos of his bike and gathering up specs on it for a future feature here on the blog. Stay tuned.

Emergency 51

On Saturday they had a reunion of the original fire truck and rescue squad 51 at the Fire Station where they filmed the tv show "Emergency" that first aired on NBC in 1972. The Fire Station is located on 223rd St in Carson and is Fire House 127. As a little kid when we would drive down the 405 Fwy South you could always see the backside of it. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to check out the inside of the fire house so it was cool to finally be able to see it.

The newly restored Ward LaFrance "Engine 51"




One of the items out for auction. Last I looked this signed helmet was going for $400.00.





I had this lunch box when I was in the first grade.
When I heard about this I thought I'd go down and check it out expecting only a few people there. The place was packed. People were waiting in line for hours to buy merchandise and get autographs from 2 of the actors from the show.
Mike Stoker. He was in the t.v. show as the driver of the Fire Truck. He answered the casting call of being a actual fire fighter and having a Actors Guild Card.

Randolph Mantooth starred as Johhny Gage in the series. It's been 32 years since the series went off the air. Damn I'm feeling old.

The Adventures of Part Timer Steve Glennon

It's been a little over a week since the glorious Born Free 3 show. Most of us have already returned and got back to our shitty jobs and regular life, but not Part Timer Steve. The guy is still living the dream. He has been on the road (BY HIMSELF!) riding his motorcycle, camping and enjoying the ride! Follow him as he posts stories of his adventure on his blog Speed and Glory here. Be safe my friend and I'll see you in a couple of weeks in Denver.
