Do Me Wrong, Do Me Wrong, Do Me Wrong.  That has replaced a stupid Who song I heard Monday, and this is Sunday.

Just too much inspiration in that video to sit idle today. Need to get back to work on rebuilding the bike. Thanks. I really need a kick in the shorts.

I thought I would bump this. Great video for the newbies to the site to watch. I read the update and boxnife is improving which is good news.

hope you all enjoy watching

What is the sound track? This is the new tune stuck in my head. ;D

Ah, great video! And the song is called Wetsuit by The Vaccines

I've just spent the last hour reading about Trevor. Such a great video (trip), and someone living life instead of planning it. And then..

This is his band. He's an awesome bass player too! (I play bass also). Man..Life is something else.

it truley is a great thing,a collage of one life,we all have these memories of moments through our life,,im hoping trevor can post an update to this thread of his soon.

i watched it again and still noticed things you dont see or focus on first time,what also saddens me is the fact trevor didnt get to reply to any of the posters in this thread he started,yet,,yet being the operative word!,P.S. when do we ever find out what boxnife means?

Hey, anyone heard from Box Knife lately?  Is he recovering?  I thought he got clobbered by a drunk driver.

The thread about Boxnife indicated he is doing some better but still has a long way to go.
 The guy who hit him was sentenced to 25 years and is first up for parole in 7 years with good behaviour. Civil trial is still in progress.

+1 how did I miss this? That video is fantastic.  Is there anyway to donate to his recovery?  Is there still a website or paypal account that one can donate to?  I went to the page http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=112595.25 and saw that the last post was September 2013.

Trevor's girlfriend Felicia is registered here as foxfe. Her email is also posted on the boxknife thread somewhere; I have it some where. I haven't been in touch with her since before this year's relay went through their area...
