getting the paint ready

Getting the decal placement just right because it is the cool under the clear coat stuff for these guys so we want to get them just right. Gloss white looks good. The front of the bikes will be the same blue as the one ghost decals on the DT and will be the entire front of the bike up to the gold chevron stripe. bike's gonna look nice. should have them all done by the end of the week.

rollin large in 2009

What do you all think of the design for the 2009 One Ghost Industries race trailer? 20' goodness, fully stocked and enclosed V.I.P. pits for the factory team rolling on the Mountain States Cup series. Can't miss us, roll by for a Steaz or a brew (if over 21). We will provide neutral tech support for a nominal fee or a dank six pack. We will have SOME parts for sale to the general public because racing is business too and we are all out there to have fun. We will have some OG clothing for sale and maybe even a demo bike or 2 to check out.
We've come a long way baby, but we have miles to go before we sleep. Hell, we are not even warmed up yet!

Wanna see something cool?



This is the first look at the 2009-and a half Longbow. Our exclusive Moto*GP suspension System enabled Super-D race killing machine. At home on all epic trails, 160mm rear wheel travel, all around Bad Ass.

The future is now.

Out with the old (news)

Well, Christmas has come and gone. Santa got me a new iPhone so that was totally awesome and completely unexpected! Keen and Dakine hooked up the entire R&D "Lab Rat" program for One Ghost with shoes, packs and gloves so that was epic as well! We owe those guys major props for such an epic hook up. I won't go into details but know we have about 22 full time racers/test pilots for One Ghost Industries for 2009.
We got to take a little time off and are still just working on 1/2 staff around here until after New years. We are working on some good things though. I don't really have anything new to report other than the reviews for the test Wakazashi are off the charts, everyone who has ridden them loves them so we will be full steam ahead for production on them. Still waiting for the decals to show up for the painters, should be any day now though. Our Saint crank/BB and brake sets are all back ordered until Feb so it may be a while before we can even ride one of the Katana frames. Tanto pre-production frames will be in mid Feb. in a plethora of color options (ano gold?!?).
so for now, have a safe new year. drink responsibly if you do drink and please don't drive.
keep it real and safe.
peace out.

Looks like winter is here!

Wholly Crap! I never expected Portland to do this but we have 3" of standing snow on the ground, blowing snow, total blizzard conditions right here in the downtown metro area! We are expected to have 4-8" more in the next 24 hours to boot and with that, they are calling for freezing rain on top of the snow come Sunday/Monday. Our poor friends at Dakine are full on snowed in, they have over 20" of snow and the town of Hood River has officially declared a state of emergency and are experiencing a full on blizzard from now though Monday morning!
It is the first day of winter though, co grab some wassail, whiskey and popcorn and kick it by the fire. we are gonna be here a while!
Happy winter everyone
