OK, time to start following my blog.

Up until now everything I have been doing has been very disjointed and spread out across Facebook, youtube, Jockey Journal, Chop Cult, Bikers Inner Circle etc. Whatever press we got last year is mainly print magazines starting with the Indian Larry commemorative issue by Cycle Source, then 'Murder and Mayhem' in GKM culminating with the cover and 12 page story in Iron Horse magazine.
Many of you guys know about my ailing health. Short of it is that I was given 4 years to live. I had been on the waiting list for an organ transplant for 3 years previous,and I jumped through all the hoops, changed my lifestyle and got to the point where the consultant docs sent me up to met the transplant team. Well long story short they turned me down, something about having a 20% chance of dying on the slab against a 95% chance of living for 4 years never mind that my quality of life diminishes daily at a rapid rate of knots.
So rather than spend the next 4 years of what may be the rest of my life I am gonna get back out in the world, see my friends, my brothers, meet new people, experience whatever life has left in store for me.
I am now back in the USA, my story has been picked up by documentary film makers from the UK and they will follow me as much as is possible on my journey. We have begun with a run/party in NYC last saturday (26th March) and now I am in Columbus OH working on getting a business website built. from here it's off to Seattle WA to hook up with my old partner at SD Cycles, Steg von Heintz, to build a reproduction of my most famous bike the "Babylon Taxi".
Rather keep going to all the sites mentioned above I will post here and let it dump into them. As the days go by I will fill this place up with pictures, videos and a running commentary. I have a huge agenda for the next few months so wish me luck. I thank all of you who have supported me over the last torturous year. E.D.
