Lots have been happening, we got essentially kicked out of our old shop, which was awesome but now we have awesomer one with 50% less hobos!
Story has it that the building manager didn't like us because he didn't like the activity happening. How is having around 20 people coming into a shop bad? Ok, no biggy, he doesn't like crowds. Next he accuses us of putting oil down his toilet and made it break. Not sure if oil can even do that but either way we took the high road and left. Moving didn't take that long, we did almost everything in a day with lots of help. I guess the shop wasn't for us...
New shop of awesome! Located in a secret location, (on the corner of Hall and Godfrey) which is close to tacos, so it's auto win! It's also cooler since it's in the basement, has a bathroom that reminds me of a hole in the wall bathroom down in Mexico, it makes the bathroom in the movie Desperado look clean, exception for the one stall that was out of order. But the manager is awesome, other renters have large functions there and it work out great.
Mopeds, yup...
Powdercoated a Hobbit, murdered out wrinkle black is awesome.
Maxi is next with ink black with metallic flake that changes color. It will have a Hero kit/pipe on it!

Happy New Years! (late, my bad)
So I've been bad and haven't updated in long while... I blame work and travel due to work, and then finally a calc class that needed to be finished up... oh well I'm done, I have time for mopeds!
As 2012 Passes heres a update on all that is good and bad
1. Chinese food isn't as awesome, who puts shrimp in a eggroll? damn you ninja shrimp! (PS allergic to iodine, or so I've been told, more details later)
2. Shop space I have some... with friends...
Notice the advanced shelving! tis awesome and won't require as much maintenance as a moped=bonus!
3. I'm awesome at MSPaint.
I know it should be a French bike but meh...
4. Rallies of 2012 (that I went too)
-By far best rally is split for first place
1. Swoops/Yetis thru the best rallies this year, for 1. Yetis had the best ride of all the rallies and was small enough where everyone pretty much knew everyone and everyone was rad. 2. Swoops had the best party rally, seriously at a skate park! Cement blew up it was awesome. Big thanks to Eugene and everyone else for having me while I was on a business trip, did I mention coleslaw is better down south?
2. Bourbon Bandits, it was awesome rides and quite a bit of partying, those guys treat y'all like family.
3. Ghost Riders rally, do to hosting I couldn't do a whole lot of fun because I was trying to make sure everyone else was having fun
4. Decpticons rally placed last, :( it rained the whole damn time, not their fault... or was it?
5. Mini-Rallies seemed to have sprung up, I wasn't able to go to Moped Madness but I wish I would have. There will always be more and I hope this year I do... I hear there might be one up North, for those who don't know what a mini-rally is it's usually hosted by 1 or 2 people and the idea sounds rad.
6. CBBG3(now with it's own color!): It was awesome, better than a average rally because it was just a weekend of partying and wrenching. Best part for most people this year was the powdercoating that GRGR provided with a powdercoat oven. I had shrimp in a eggroll and had to shoot myself with my Epi pen, so yes, I shot myself with drugs and had a adrenaline rush that wasn't fun for about a hour... go me... I basically had tremors and freaked out the people that knew. Overall better than last year... I hate you chinese restaurant!
Stay tuned for 2013 stuff!
