STS Documentary (I did not make this one! Please see my notes in the drop-box)
Some years ago I was contacted by an outfit called Lost & Found Films. These guy make documentaries about any unusual people they deem interesting enough to make documentaries about. Since they’d have a fly out and put their crew together, this would have a be a planned event making it necessary that we set a date and place to meet. The location agreed upon would be in the Smoky Mountains. The date was set.
As filming began, I was amazed at the technology of their equipment. I’d seen nothing like it. The huge Star Wars piece I nicknamed “Robo Camera” could be strapped to the hood of a car, warn on the chest, or whatever, while being completely controlled with screen and joy stick from a remote location. There was a van so stuffed with high tech crap that I thought it might actually be the inside of a space shuttle.
For three days and a morning these guys worked me from sun up to sun down. Mostly, I just did as told and tried to accommodate whatever they asked of me. They wanted to see a camp; an abandoned house; etc. And of course, any philosophy I wished to through in.
It was certainly a fascinating experience to suddenly be an actor, the star of a movie, and the main center of attention. I mean, a technically homeless person with only one old motorcycle and a sleeping bag. Really?

My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

    You can still delete the fuel injection on the twin cams.. the Swedish chopper builders have been using the twin cam and transmission in their builds for years now.. I know the first few years of twin cam it's easily done just like with a evo. Buddy has a 03 road king that he got rid of all the crap off of.

    windshield plastic never never use anything but cotton or microfiber to clean a windshield. Paper towels, scratch the hell out of plexiglass and Lexan. when you cut through plexiglass, or Lexan, put masking tape on both sides, and cut through the masking tape.. I worked with plexiglass and Lexan. They come from the factory with tape on them. We always cut through the tape/paper that comes on the plexiglass from the factory before removing it… just be sure not to leave the masking tape on there longer than necessary, because if it gets wet, you have to blast to get it off sometimes.. to get a glass clear, kerf edge. We would polish the edge that was cut by saw with very low flame pressure hydrogen. That is called flame polishing. You must use hydrogen because it is pure, and will not turn black as you polish the edge with the very low flame. That melts the sharp edges of the cut just long enough that when it cools within a few seconds, it cools crystal clear. The flame pressure is so low, it’s almost like a big lighter but you must use hydrogen. You can buy it in small, propane, tank, size containers. I have been telling people in my videos on CZcams that you cannot put a radial load on a ball bearing.. that’s what blows wheel bearings.. I don’t buy new bikes myself. I’ve only bought two new bikes since 1968. The many many dozens of bikes I’ve had since I’ve all been unmolested, on modified stock machines. I learned decades ago that the factory knows more than I do… I never turn on the radio on my five big touring bikes I’ve had over the decades they came with radios. On my 86 Yamaha, Venture, the radio could be pulled out with the ignition key. When I went to sell the bike 16 years later, I had to hunt for the radio. When I sold my Goldwing in 2021, I did not know how to operate the radio to show the new buyer how it worked… I was surprised to see how much wiring there was for the rear speakers on your new to you machne.. A very successful Formula One car builder years ago, commented that he added lightness to his Formula one race cars.. that’sone of his most famous quotes.. i’m pretty sure that was Graham Chapman, the English Formula One car guru from the past.. you being a celebrity, makes your motorcycle a collectors item. I think you are correct, you should auction it… looking forward to seeing all your videos, as usual. Thanks

    Fear of the unknown. I dont have it. Living one year now in a far away place and different culture with not much skill of the language. The fear I see is all from the ones I left behind. They are trapped in the fear and try to dump it upon me whenever we have contact. I pity them, teapped by fear of the unknown, never knowing but the small isolated world they have sparingly assigned themself. Im at peace in the unknown. Its not a scary place. Like Scotty has described, peace and friends can be found anywhere one wants. Home is wherever you are at the time.

      It's amazing when one breaks free of the Matrix. One feeling is a sense that a burden is lifted. The direction becomes new and feels correct The Matrix that instills fear into people's minds is a powerful hypnosis, or mass psychosis. I use the word Matrix as a representation of the "System" " Norm", and " reliance on a safe cookie-cutter life.
