I wonder if Vinnie and Cody are going to their own spin off TV show like the C hick from Miami Ink did with her show LA Ink. It could all just be a ploy to set up another show for the cable networks greedy SOBs:banghead

could someone fill me in on the details behind the photo labeled "Theme: Judgement" which shows what appears to be logs falling off a truck & one of them flying thru the air. Is this photo for real? Did someone actually catch this shot? (right before they caught a log in the face)

Can you say photoshop? This time I found the picture over at Bikes in the Fast Lane. There really wasn't an article with it, and somehow it seemed like a good leading to the photo assignment links.

The picture has shown up at various places on the web. The background is frame freeze from a video taken from a windsheild cam of a car that is about to dodge the logs. The bike cockpit was photshoped in. Both make their appearances on various sites every few months.
