About 10 or 11 years ago in Hawaii, I bought a shovelhead just to make a few bucks. Its what I did to make ends meet, buying and selling mostly cars, because the gas station paid very little.




This bike was kinda interesting though. It had ants and some other insects and shit growing out of the mother fucker! I thought it was pretty funny too because the guy who owned it, Tim, thought this thing was the SHIT. He could see this bike's inner beauty, the potential of what it COULD be, and that's just the way he saw it.



He left it out in the backyard without a cover for several years before I had seen it. The way Tim described the bike to me, it seemed as if it was some sort of spectacular treasure of the islands. You had to just have seen this one in person. We talked about this one at the gas station for quite some time afterward. I had it sold within an hour after picking it up though!

That looks a lot like my kid's underdrawers yesterday, he had diarrhea on the way home from the park.
