Bob Hodges: [to his new partner] There’s two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: “Hey pop, let’s say we run down there and fuck one of them cows”. The older one says: “No son. Lets walk down and fuck ‘em all”. Quote taken from the 1998 movie “Colors” starring a young Sean Penn and Robert Duvall.

Akira and John got their new bikes just after Christmas and they are looking like the dogs bollocks, or as Akira would have you know “inu no kintama no chari”.

On the 30th of December Kinfolk made the 100km journey out of Tokyo to Hiratsuka`s Shonan Bank to place a few bets at the 2008 Keirin Grand Prix. We took a bunch of pics and have them posted up here. We also bumped into Shizuka (pictured) from the Bicycle Film Festival, Shino (2008 CMWC Winner), and Gogo (Tokyo bike messenger legend). We didn`t win any money but we sure did knock back a few Kirin Nama Beers.

2009 at KINFOLK there will be more bikes, beer, spirits, spokes, Brooklyn, LA, and Tokyo. We really look forward to flying high and riding dirty with you all. Oh yeah and an Ox on a hill overlooking all those sweet looking hefers.
