    That's a pretty nice truck, too bad it was owned by that ass clown. That autograph must depreciate it's value.

    If you notice, there's at least one shot of the interior that the autograph is absent in. Clearly, someone got the bright(?) idea that adding the autograph would help it sell.

    All in all, it's a good-looking truck, just hard to get past the previous owner. But, ya know, it's like the song: "Every rose has it's thorn..." (Alright, I'm sorry...that was cheap, awful, and damn near unforgivable...but I couldn't resist!) [​IMG]

    T Man is funny when he swears.

    It's kind of like the Beaver telling you to Fuck Off......




    A few years ago me and the drummer of the Mistreaters, Kristian, were at this large festival. We got to ride on rides all day for free because the Carny thought Kristian was Ricki Rocket.

    That was fun.

    Man, this is some funny sh!t:

    "You pretentious fucks! I bet 90% of you that slam some of the 80s band guys and ther cars bought a fuckin $20 T shirt and slammed against the barricades at your local Civic Center during their show !"

    I was a member of a stagehand union local back then; I can remember working a Poison/ Cinderella concert at the local Civic Center. I got a backstage pass, a working crew T-shirt, and got paid union scale to take a nap during the concert, ta boot! (Gotta rest up for load-out, ya know [​IMG]) Yup, workin' overtime ta buy hot rod parts!

    Later, Kinky6 [​IMG]

    I was 5 when Poison was popular.

    True enough, it's cool that he's into traditional stuff and not mad phat bling bling pimped-out rides, but that still doesn't excuse "Talk dirty to me" or any of their other music.

    At what point did putting on all that makeup and hair styling products seem like a good idea? How would one look at themselves in the mirror and not think that that was rediculous and/or really gay? Whatever...it's all in the past...thank god

    I guess at the point that he could EASILY afford a cool truck and could get laid any time he wanted.

    And it's spelled "ridiculous". No "E" anywhere to be found.

    OK, point well taken about the girls. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] But right now I'm studying my ass off so that maybe one day I can easily afford a cool truck...and not have to wear spandex or lipstick to do it.
    And thanks for the spelling correction...smartass [​IMG]

  17. I'll just say this.

    I'm am actually good friends with Rikki and he's one of the nicest, most geniune people I have ever met. He's a really talented pinstriper, a hell of a drummer and a true gearhead. He is one hell of a guy, regardless of what you think about his music.

    I met him a few years ago when he contacted us through our scooter club's website. He has an old Vespa and liked our site and invited our entire club out to a show in Baltimore. The show was great fun and he even hooked us ALL up with back stage passes after and out of probably 100 or so people lined up to just see him, he called our club first and treated us like we were royalty or something. He invites us to every local show they have and we always try to catch up with him when he's in town.

    I talk to him on a regular basis and like I said before, I consider him a good friend and an awesome person.

    The cool part is he's invited other scooterists to shows also, has even planned rides before shows and gave them back stage parking for their scoots during concerts.

    So in other words, don't be a dick to someone you don't know.

    He got the truck about a year ago. He tends to like his toys so he rides the hell outta stuff until something else catches his eye and then he sells something and gets the next toy. He takes great care of the things he has.

    His girlfriend, Helen Garber, is one of the most amazing portrait artists ever. You should google her and see what I'm talking about.

    Anyway... don't go mouthing off about people you don't know. ESPECIALLY if they are my friends... I don't wanna have to go all Action Girl on your asses.

    Stacey

    I saw Poison recently, and they rocked out, they were great.
    They could wipe the floor with some of these weenie so called punk rock bands around these days.

    I wish I could be half as cool as all you posers out there. Well said Tman. Maybe when "hair metal" is "in" again all of the "fashion vultures" out there will be on it talking about how cool Kik Tracee was "back in the day" and nothing new can compare.

    I listen to Poison, Cinderella, Motley Crue, you name it. Does that make me uncool? Probably, but I don't care. At least I can build some shit to back up my "rep" and don't have to talk shit on some internet site about it.

    Is there really any difference between Aqua Net and Pomade or Spandex and 12 inch cuffed jeans? I don't think so.

    I'm glad I could add to the drama. Here, Check out hero Setzer rocking out backstage at a "Jetboy" show.

    This thread kind of reminds me of one of our local musician friends who went to Vegas in the 80's to seek his fortune. He was working an afternoon show in one of the lounges. A group from home went to see him and were giving him crap about the "lame" music he was having to play. Some one asked, "What are you doing playing shit like that". to which he answered, " I'm workin' motherf*#?r, your the one payin' for overpriced, watered down drinks to hear it!"

  21. Cool ride. I admit it, I usta listen to Poison, and am not a fag... [​IMG]

    I'd take that shit anyday over p diddy or whatever his name is this week, or half that other crap.

    Good for Rikki. I hope it does well for him.

    I like that truck. It's very well done.

    Everyone bags on Poison, but how many other bands from the era still play packed areanas 20 years later? I've never met Rikki personally, but he has done the same scooter stuff around Chicago. I hear he's just a down to earth regular guy these days into all the same shit most of us here are.

    Yeah, you're right, what FAGS have to wear make up in a band these days. NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE...

    I didn't know he was seeing Ms. Garber, she is an awesome protraitist, and has done some other cool shit as well.

    Is he still into Brits? I might be procurring something he might be interested in.

    All in the past? Anyone here grease up their hair and cuff their jeans? You'd think that people who CUSTOMIZE cars would understand.

    They probably still have calouses on their johnsons...

    Who's the idiot with the spikey hair? [​IMG] [​IMG]
     
  27. I'm in the same boat as the rest of you pretty boys. I still dig Poison, Skid Row, Crue, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Etc, etc. We all know it's a generational thing. By the by the dudes in Poison aren't trendy about this, they've been motorcycle and hot rod nuts the whole time.

    To add, I have a client that paid that much for a "rat rod" effie truck and it wasn't even done to that caliber. So go figger, someone could buy the truck, just because it's the truck.

    A corporate slut who thinks he's not a corporate slut. He's pissed cause his manager and label both refuse to give him the common courtesy of a reach-around.

    Look, good for Rikki, he's into hot rods and bikes and the same shit we're into. Maybe the ass clown comment was a bit harsh, but seriously people...Poison wasn't even taken seriously in their time. the image was part of the gimmick, it was tailored for airplay on MTV. Anybody who was really into metal gave them no cred, the went for the authentic stuff like slayer, or metallica (at the time). Just like any real punk rocker gives Good Charlottle no respect because although they may be cool guys, like Rikki, it's just not authentic.
    Just like I'll be skeptical of the guys with big cuffed jeans and Mercs tattooed on their arms and the whole 9 yards, then get into a chevy corsica and drive off, which I witnessed this year at the Road Agents' show. And yes, I build my own stuff too, and my car speaks for my greaser cred (since I know that there was a comment made on here implying that I don't turn my own wrenches, and that I am a poser), I don't need cuffed jeans or a pomp (or in my case lack thereof) to be a greaser. If I pissed off Poison fans on here, sorry. I don't like the guy's music. I never met him so I can't speak for his character. Maybe I was talking a little shit, but to imply that I don't turn my own wrenches is a real fuckin harsh accusation that anybody on here knows strikes at the most personal level, because it's an accustaion that trivializes countless hours spent wrenching.
