Slab City Riot 2

Last weekend we helped our buddies over at CHOPCULT.COM put on their second annual Slab City Riot. These guys are not your typical Sturgis, bagger, old guy, American Chopper fans. (Not that there is anything wrong with that if that is your scene.)

This is about hand built old school bikes. Guys that love to work on their own stuff, ride hard, and play hard. Dirt camping, loud live punk rock and good times.

SLAB CITY is the place featured in the book and film INTO THE WILD.
Strange place this is for sure. Slab City is filled with many people who have checked out of the mainstream for one reason or another. During the winter snowbirds come in motor homes to escape old man Winter.
Add 1500 Chop Cult members and, a Pallet of free Pabst and you have an eclectic mix of good times for sure!
There was an event named the Coctagon where 24 men enter the ring armed with helmets and whiffle ball bats. Last man standing wins $500.00. Mayhem ensued.

2010 Off Road Expo

We made the trek to the Off Road Expo last weekend. We got to see many cool vehicles, parts, and accessories. There were a lot of people in attendance for sure. This is a great event for vendors to showcase their new products to the off road nation.
In case you missed it, here are some photos to give you a little fix and make you want to get out there and run your rig.



















Trasharoo. A great new product. Like a backpack for your spare. You can haul stuff in and when you are on your way home it doubles as a trash bag. Complete with inside plastic lining and drain holes at the bottom.


Our friends at ORW were on the scene too


Check this cool idea


We love this hitch set up


Old McMillin class 2

No event would be complete without Hotties signing posters!

Temecula Rod Run

Each Spring and Fall our home town of Temecula hosts a classic car run in old town.
There are plenty of super nice cars. Here are a few we thought were interesting.
Yes I am partial to the 66 and 67 Novas!





Plenty of tri 5's for sure




















Chrysler Imperial





The guys at Baja bacon wrap took VERY good care of us!





Yes that is George F'ing Barris!

Closer to the goal

We had a terrific meeting with Richard of Cuatro Casas Hostel Monday night. We formed an alliance, Cuatro Casas Hostel will be the official base camp for Camp4lo.
Cuatro Casas has all the amenities you will need to make your stay even more memorable.
Clean comfortable bunk rooms,(private rooms available) hot showers, great food, surfing, fishing, and more. There is even a concrete pad out back with a complete workshop for wrenching on the rigs. We plan to outfit the shop with a welder and some specialty tools. They can even perform flat repairs on site. The possibilities are endless here.

Please enjoy the photos and get ready to visit Camp4lo
