October 2016 Easyriders |
My name is Chris. I am a moto-journalist who loves motorsports; from drag racing, riding enduros, hot-rodding my '73 Dodge Challenger and '69 AMX to dirt-roading Baja bugs. My passion is riding and building vintage Harleys. I host Throwback Thursdays at the local drive-In and donate my time to many causes. My purpose on this Earth is to make a difference in the lives of others as ACTION is what makes the presence of GOD felt in this world!

Great time of year- blackberries, raspberries and MINT
LOVE this time of year. Time to gather and enjoy local fruit. We drink peppermint tea in the winter so we have found a local swimming hole to gather mint. It tastes WAY better than what you buy. I then dry it and store it in glass jars.
A real treat this year is we have found a raspberry bush or according to Google, wineberries! Either way it is way cool and something totally different!

Newest ink- MOPAR tattoo coverup
Since I've went to Mopar it has been on my list to get a MOPAR tattoo. Several weeks ago I decided to cover-up my blue Chevy bowtie, the first tattoo I ever got, which was around 2003. I loved it when I had it and it symbolized not only my love for Chevy, but especially for my blue 1978 Z/28, "Mean Streak".
Since I like to move forward, I figured it would be best to go ahead and cover the Chevy ink.
I sent my tattoo artist, Dessa Blackthorn, owner of Tattooz by Sassy in Mountain Home, Arkansas a few ideas, mainly centered around my keychains that I have for both of my Mopars.
When I arrived, she already had drawn a design out and I absolutely LOVED it. If you know me, I hardly ever love ANYTHING, So I was super excited.
Here is what we had before:
