At the crossroads. Cres Island. We did the road in the safety of our car. They did it on two wheels, maximum speed 50km/h but fullspeed on adventure and freedom !

Hangar Rockin 2011
[Hangar Rockin | St. Stephan | 2-3.07.2011]
It was our first time at the Hangar... and a big one !
The road to St. Stephan is really beautiful, through Bulle-Charmey-Jaun-Zweisimmen. The alps in summer offer some amazing landscapes to discover on two-wheels. Even St. Stephan, which is trapped in the valley with glaciers at the end of it.
The parking is divided in two : vehicles until '68 and scooters (mostly Vespa), vehicles until '60 and scooters until '68. But you can find also some nice pieces along the public parking ! The camera burned the whole afternoon and the battery suffered severely ! Only but eye-candy bikes, from the most radical to true oldies. Cars were well represented too, with hot rods, rat rods, leadsleds, muscles and classics.
Then time for races : A mano a mano on a 1/8 mile track ! Cars, motorcycles and vespa dueled on the runway. While pinstriping artists and merchandising were the attractions at the village.
Saturday's evening offered great live shows. Especially Voola and the Jayhawks, playing an hypnotizing voodoo rythm'n'blues. JD McPherson and his band gave a nice rock'n'roll gig too afterwards !
While going back home on sunday morning, modern cars just look so boring !

Ride to Love
[Col des Mosses | 26.06.2011]
While on the road through the Alps, the sweet feeling of freedom kind of remind me one of the greatest text I read about riding. This is taken from the DicE #37...
“Ok man, total stream of conscience. Tried to sort of write down what I think about while on the bike.
Live to Ride, Ride to Live. Looking at the phrase nowadays can seem a little packaged and superficial. Watered down. I prefer this better. Love to Ride, Ride to Love.
We live in a world where things we love so much can get gobbled up by the masses and soon become so watered down as to find ourselves bitter about the future. Conformity is a bitch, all shapes and sizes of it, doesn't matter the type. Conform is a dirty word. We may struggle every day, with work, relationships, bills, the stresses of life in general. Who are we ? Why are we here ? Trust, friendship, love, what does it all mean ?
Love to Ride
I remember that feeling of being abandoned, needing a love so bad you physicallv hurt. Oh, but I remember that feeling when a brother hugs you and tells you it's good to see you. That feeling of seeing your woman's smiling face in the morning. Back and forth the mind goes searching the good and the bad. When your woman leaves you, or your dog dies. Fishing with your Dad. Meeting someone for the first time with a warm smile. Seeing your child’s face. Feelings that defy description. Oh, that is what we search for. Chills up the spine, goose bumps, that lump in the throat, tear in the eye. Sometimes, there’s nothing, nothing but feelings. Those feelings are everything and nothing all at the same time. Time stands still, and speeds up, or doesn’t even exist. Nothing matters but this moment. Nothing IS but now. Searching for what ? Dreams ? Connections ? Meaning ? Nothing ? Finding everything. Now is all we have. A machine, two wheels and a motor, it carries the body, mind, and spirit places. Some places are tangible, but the places that really matter are hopeful, soulful, bountiful, beautiful, spiritual, thoughtful and meaningful. Is it possible that 2 wheels can make you a better person ? Yes, yes it can. Ride to Love”

Wheels Fest 2k11
[Lignières | 18-19.06.2011]
The hell of a weekend ! It started really bad with the worse weather you could expect. Raining cats and fucking dawgs at saturday morning. We had to wait a bit to move to Lignières, but we finally reached the place dry and safe.
We set our camp on the field. Quite alone due to the weather. People weren't up to come there on saturday to be washed by the rain. Sunday had a better luck Hopefully, the sun showed few times, even if always quickly followed by rain. And this lasts during the whole weekend ! Kind of tiring !
A bad weather could not ruin everything. We had great time watching the drifters on the track, a nice MTX's race with both adults and kids, skate-roller-bmx tricks on the big air. Too bad for MTX freestyler, the wind kept strong through the two days and they could land only few airs. Nice spots at the village, especially the VW's oldies, some lowriders, few bikes from Bad Boys Motorcycles and others, two custom bicycles' stalls with Ocobike & BCBC. And last but not least, the Fuel Girls offered many shows while rubber were burned by drifters' cars and bikes on the stage.
Above all, we had some great laughs at the camp. Kind of creepy at night with the wind and sometimes some rain. But we had music, beers and food : enough to entertain us until we went sleeping.
The organizer's crew did a wonderful job, unfortunately the weather played a bad part in the affair !
Nevertheless, Wheels Fest 2012, here we come !
