As the Dead Deer Chief Economic Analyst it is my responsibility to inform the Dead Deer Nation of financial happenings around the world. With the addition of a Netflix account to the Dead Deer headquarters in San Francisco, I had access to the documentary I.O.U.S.A. which outlines the current financial crisis that our country is in. It shows that there are four major problems that face America's economic future. Budget, savings, trade and leadership deficits are the four problems that, if left unchanged, will be the ruin of our great country.
If we let our leaders run our country into the ground we won't be able to ride bikes and drink beers because we will be part of China. Which would be crappy. So at the very least, watch the film, put a few bucks in your savings account every paycheck and vote for fiscally responsible representatives no matter your party affiliation. Im going to write a letter to some prominent bicycle manufacturers to suggest that they offer at least one frameset that is built in the U.S.A by good ol' red blooded Americans. If you would like to sign it comment below, email me or something. It would be pretty sweet if the DDBG made some rad changes happen... I'd pay a few extra bucks for a Surly that was made here... Love, Metzler   Happy March everyone! Nick from Aloha bikes and I headed out for a kick ass day in the sun. We rolled out of my place around high noon and went over to Sean's house for a beer via dry park rd which is an awesome dirt road that traverses the mountains and keeps you off of the the valley floor. It has a series of good climbs, some rollers and then a 3-5 mile descent to Glenwood Springs. Today it featured mud, ice, snow and lots of puddles which left me jealous of Nick's fenders. We had a beer at Sean's, re-lubed/cleaned the chains and headed up to Rankin's mom's house for some ping pong. After Nick and I slaughtered (survived) the climb we stumbled in for a beer and Dalene hooked it up with some nachos. We had to cut our stay short in order to make it back before the sun dropped and on our way back along the bike path one of our brethren shed his rack for us about 50 ft off the path. check out Nick with the score, 4x4 & its going on the bike shed! bikes are where its at!! rock out - nettles       Corvallis, can you be any more boring?            I went home to Seattle back in December.     Saw this gangster ride with an antler for a shifter lever..  My dad, sister, and her kids.  Mall grab!     The best tradition of all, New Year's at Craig's house.  The next morning, starting the 5 hour drive back to OR.  The Dead Deer Bike Gang was born on Febuary 27, 2008, so get all your deer and does together this Saturday to go ride bikes and drink some beers. Here are a few pics I rounded up from the last two years…   I have a feeling this is exactly what it was like for the dudes leaving from D.C. For me in new orleans i thought they'd never make it.
  it was like we were staying in a budget "real world house" the kitchen counter of the place was covered in drawings  here we see a drawing of colin sober  and here he is drunk  here Jim share's some photo's from his walk around the neighborhood. pretty awesome      big buck hunter shots (5 hour energy and jager)  bourbon street    Last week I started attending a machine shop class at City College San Francisco. I'm going to try to max out my metalworking skills and hopefully start turning out some respectable frames and other goodies in the not so distant future.   saw this in lowcard issue #31  saw this in lowcard issue #32, schuyler not landing a smith and me nerding in the background. This is from the excess zine of our trip that everybody has given awesome reviews and hopefully PJ will post up here one day  |
