Wow. The new record from Staind actually has some balls.
"Eyes Wide Open" is a great throwback to red state rockers of years past.
Well done, boys.
World's Longest Bridge
New entry to the bucket list: Ride a motorcycle across this bridge.
Stunning.
From NPR:
It looks like they're going to have to change some promotional materials down in Louisiana, where the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway has long claimed to be the world's longest bridge over open water.
At nearly 24 miles, the causeway is plenty long.
But today, the 26.3-mile long Jiaozhou Bay bridge opened in China. It links the "eastern port city of Qingdao to an offshore island, Huangdao."

Alamo Drafthouse
This is amazing. x
From Gawker:
There's nothing worse than being interrupted by an annoying cell phone user while trying to enjoy a movie. That's why the Alamo Drafthouse, an eat-and-drink theater in Austin, Texas, recently booted a young woman for texting during a movie (and despite several warnings to knock it off). Following the ejection, she left the theater an angry, obscenity-laced voicemail. And then the Alamo turned it into the best anti-texting PSA ever.
Joy Valencia
I just stumbled upon this interesting video.
Joy Valencia, "Don't Wake The Lion"
Fascinating, isn't it? x
CB750 Cyclone
This bike is so damn pretty, I don't even think I could ride her around town. In fact, I think I would just have her on display in my living room. In my enormous Brooklyn loft, of course. Next to my Duc, BMW, Triumph, and Royal Enfield.
Yeah, a man can dream. Sometimes, it's all we've got in this life of ours. x
As always, from the always inspirational, Bike EXIF:
Steve ‘Carpy’ Carpenter is a household name in cafe racer circles. Mostly because he’s a traditionalist and a perfectionist. When you order a custom motorcycle from Carpy, you’ll get a bike in better condition than the day it rolled off the factory floor. The latest bike to leave Carpy’s workshop in Anaheim, CA, is ‘Cyclone’ and it’s a 1970 K0 model—one of the earliest CB750s, with the SOHC motor. I’m guessing that this particular bike is also one of the 7,000 that had ‘sandcast’ engine cases—Honda hedged its bets on setting up diecast tooling before it realized it had a hit on its hands.
Carpy stripped this CB750 down and reconditioned or replaced every single part. He fitted one of his proprietary boxed swingarms (with a two-inch extension) and a complete new electrical system. The rear wheel has been upgraded to a fatter 16 x 3.5” item, giving the machine a heavier look at the back. The paint is House of Kolor Silver Flake, and the seat has been neatly upholstered with matching silver tuck ‘n’ roll. If you’re into the Ace Cafe scene, this has got to be the ultimate silver dream machine.
Cee Lo Wants You
Seriously, is there anybody cooler than this motherfucker at this point?
