This week Stephen and I went to North Carolina to learn how to build bikes properly, from frame builder extraordinaire Steve Garn. Expect to see some beautiful lugged frames over the summertime.

This fall myself and five of my brothers travelled from Toronto to Vancouver, four of us on motorcycles. My hands were full of throttle and not cameras; but enjoy a few photos and 16mm movie goodness HERE.

A crazy week of bike-building after work led to this creation. A stationary, electric, LED strobing, classic ride. Fun for eatArt’s series of Olympic-time parties. When the room isn’t full of people the rider becomes animated with a video projection by Ben Graeme.

My brothers and I had a blast cruzin’ and sredding the streets of Montreal last weekend. We went with Benny for the Bicycle Film Festival, and to shoot some photos of the bros and tall bike action. Here Mad Hank stays focused above the commotion below. (Shot with a Mamiya RZ67)

I believe the idea began with my brother Stephen. With the end of highschool in sight he must be dreaming of freedom from the stupid teenage trends, clueless teachers, and those drawn out classes that never seem to finish. They will finish Steve. Education is important, but I remember the feeling. When dreams are visions of blasting down open highways on an old motorcycle, the classroom feels terribly small. So open highways and blasting down them is excatly what we’re going to do, all the way across Canada. And not only Stephen and I, but Benny, Christian, and Dan as well, with Jody and our Dad joining us for a few days. It will be a Hellzenga extravaganza of motors rumbling between our knees. The journey is scheduled for August, but the adventrue begins now as I restore my old Honda here in Vancouver, and Stephen restores his, out in Ontario.

My 300 dollar super-sport is up and running!
