Hey all, been a while. Working everything out here at Lunch Box Labs and getting ready to get the CNC machines rolling. The numbers are crunched and the computers are programed. We will have some actual images of the Wakazashi SS and the Katana here real soon. I know you all have been patient with us and it takes time to start a (re)evolution, especially one like what we are doing. Now I know there are other companies out there doing a floating shock and using fancy names and terms and some have huge marketing budgets and lots of hype, but they don't have what we have: love.
yeah, love of our sport and supporters. Over 20 years rolling duce-six and here it is time to show what racing is all about. Not just winning, not just the technology, not the hard work or the training. Not the preparation, tire pressure...
It is the trip to the venue, the stopping to fill the tank in some run down 3-leg dog town, it is the smell of the crisp air at 6AM on race day after a night of not sleeping. It is that first sip of bad coffee you paid too much for...
Racing is the experience, the bright green leaves in the summer, the smell of fresh dust or deep, dark soil, the "competition" you hang out with each weekend as you develop life-long friends. The warm beer and cold coffee, the faces in the truck stops and all night diners, the camp stove explosions and the can of beans you are left to clean up off your tailgate at 10 PM the night before your "perfect run."
Racing is all this and so much more.
This is the experience and joy One Ghost Industries is going to bring to you. It isn't about the bikes or the CNC this or high speed compression that. It is friendship, brother and sisterhood. Sharing scars, tattoos, beer and inner tubes. Meeting your "Johnny T" for the first time or finally beating him. Racing is life and many times we do get caught up in the techno babble of it all and we don't stop to look around the pits and take it all in. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, sometimes you flat, sometimes you get to stand on the box but you never, ever give up.
I have had that lesson handed to me too many times to count and this...One Ghost Industries.. is my way of teaching that lesson to all of you; Never give up, stop and listen, and most importantly....
"Flow like water, my friend."

Unofficial Pacific Northwest Single Slalom Championships of the Universe (and cookout)
HAHA, yeah, no joke. Gonna get up hella early, get the bbq seasoned up, the cold ones frosting, the mugs in the freezer and veggies marinading. Oh yeah, and getting the single slalom track in order. We are celebrating the 4th of July in a big way: with the Unofficial Pacific Northwest Single Slalom Championships of the Universe (and cookout). Hitting up the Lunchbox Labs single slalom track and fireing up the new bbq (if I can buy one! We may be digging holes in the ground and setting it on fire).
rules for racing are simple. whoever can do the most laps without getting dizzy and stopping will be the winner. Easy enough.
racers will be going consecutivly, taking turns drinking cold ones and hitting laps while being chased by a pack of wild, rabid dogs (well, not too wild and only as rabid as aussie heelers can be while chasing bikes) while the tight reggae tunes blast the air waves.
Sponsord by One Ghost Industries, Bike Gallery and Azonic. The turnout looks to be a deep seeded one with some fierce competition lined up. Winning prize is TBD still but knowing big D, it'll be pretty epic.
stay posted for pics.
