-What's going on back there?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: That's old Chief Two Beers.
A little dismount before the trip.
Hopefully they get done before it gets dark.
Just busted him.
You know, he calls me and says hey, man, do you want to do
some motorcycle riding?
Bring it on, dude.
I'm ready to go.
Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
BRAD GERLACH: Yeah, I know that.
But I mean, did you press it down or something?
Great, got to get it on footage.
Hey, hey, hey, Chris?
How you get the gas tank open, man?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Just spin it.
BRAD GERLACH: Spin it?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: I looked at couple of his boards.
It's like, oh man, this guys looks like he
knows how to shape.
I just called him up to--
hey, I want to get a board, you know?
The conversation was probably like five minutes on the phone
before I even knew who he was.
BRAD GERLACH: When he really knew it was me after a while,
he was like oh, shit.
Sorry, dude.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: What was your last name again?
He's all Gerlach.
I'm like, ah, OK, OK.
But he's kind of a grump, you know?
He's ar, ar, ar.
It's a big commitment to sponsor someone like Brad.
And these guys are like 50 boards a year and I don't have
those cards in my deck right now.
Well, we just ended up becoming friends and friends
are first to me anyways.
So Brad seems like a complete nut.
And he is a complete nut.
And he's always a good time, and you never
know what to expect.
BRAD GERLACH: Those are called fours, fake doors.
You ever do that with words?
Put two words together?
Like sweaty balls, swalls.
Woo!
Swalls!
Ha!
The exciting part was that we're going
to meet in New York.
Pick the bikes up in New York City, and then head up north
to New England.
And I'm always looking for waves.
And I'm always in some car, boat or airplane.
And the most comfortable way to go looking for waves is on
a motorcycle for sure.
It's really fun to cruise with one of your best buds.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Obviously, we have surfing in common.
But when we get together, it's kind of like the last thing we
usually talk about.
BRAD GERLACH: Do you think about when we first got going
in New York a couple times driving along.
And then all of a sudden going like, I had a couple of
visions of eating it.
And I was like OK, just let it go.
Let it go.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Yeah.
BRAD GERLACH: Because it's just like woo.
Think about it, you can just eat it so easily.
You're just like, splatter.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: That's heavy shit.
BRAD GERLACH: Hey, cheers.
Here's to not eating shit, huh?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Guy just threw a cigarette butt at you.
BRAD GERLACH: Classy.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Welcome to the Hamptons.
This guy needs to ride a motorcycle backwards.
Look at that hair.
BRAD GERLACH: Which guy?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Right here.
BRAD GERLACH: What?
That's who he's talking about.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: No, there's another one.
BRAD GERLACH: There's another one?
The guy with the blonde hair?
Now he's stopped talking and looked over here.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Yeah, we're talking to you.
What the fuck you want?
BRAD GERLACH: Hey, we're just wondering where
we can get the same--
is that a beanie?
Because that's cool shit, man.
I need that.
There she is, the mighty Atlantic.
Oh, shit.
Pumping.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Think we're going to surf this whole trip?
BRAD GERLACH: Oh, look at that little--
maybe low tide.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: There's definitely a swell.
Those tides are so high.
BRAD GERLACH: Yeah.
Settle down, would you?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: If we can find it where the beach maybe
goes in and then hooks around that way, it'll
probably pick up swell.
BRAD GERLACH: We don't have any surf connection up here.
There's enough swell right now where people are like, oh god,
you could have come around the corner.
I was like four feet and pitching out.
While you guys are playing around on shore break.
Stingy and Dew Bag are over here doing
four-foot aerial reverse.
And varials and shove-its and what not.
Because the waves offer that kind of playfulness, you know?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: See that right there?
Maybe.
Let's go up another 20 more mansions.
BRAD GERLACH: Chicken!
Honey, I shrunk the kids.
Look at that thing right here.
Paddling into it, you're seven inches tall.
You're going to be hooting, because that thing feels like
it's about 30 feet.
Look at that right.
Look it, off the bottom, boof, into the lip.
Around that, we're in France, by the south, you're
on that next one.
Whoa, big cut back.
Float that section.
Come around there, bam, bag, woo, air reverse.
Oh, god!
See, I told you.
Just around the corner.
I neglected to mention that Stingy and Dew Bag are only
two inches tall.
Let's get out of the leathers!
This board here was a gift for Skip.
This thing's 26-years-old, personal voyages.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Rock Harleys, then we got some Skip
Fryes, we got an 11-footer.
It's just such a different trip, why bring all the
standard boards?
It's just fun to mix it up, and ride something that you
normally wouldn't bring on a surf trip.
BRAD GERLACH: Of course we're hoping to catch some surf.
But yeah, we didn't get it.
But we're kind of surfing on those
motorcycles anyway though.
Yeah.
And if the waves are insane around here all the time, this
would be the best place in the world to live, huh?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: This would be a great place to have a
surf [INAUDIBLE] where there's just waves that just come out
and going around.
You come here in the fall time, you get all
the colors, you know?
BRAD GERLACH: It looks like Hansel and Gretel live here.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: These bikes were perfect for this type of
riding, too, right through the coastal towns.
It's almost like an instinct.
Like, the other guy can just make a facial expression that
you know he's going to do, or you know which way
he's going to turn.
And instincts take over with every move you make, and
different communications.
BRAD GERLACH: Going through the beauty of New England with
the lakes, and the rivers, and the trees hanging over, and
the cherry blossoms, and the beautiful, perfect little
gingerbread houses.
It's like, is there a better place in the world to ride a
motorcycle?
That's it.
I just wanted to pull over and look down one of these streets
and just check it out, you know?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Thought you had to make a phone call.
I got to take a leak, man.
BRAD GERLACH: I might be Chief Two Beers, but this guy's got
to piss every fucking five minutes.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: It's just the diversity of the way the
land is here.
You just don't know what to expect, because you can't see
what's coming.
Where down south, it's just a straight line.
Where up here, it's almost fun getting lost.
We don't know where we're going to end up.
None of the roads are straight.
-How far you going?
BRAD GERLACH: The cool thing is we don't know.
-How far you going today?
BRAD GERLACH: We're going to end up in Rhode Island,
Narragansett.
-I'm going up to Maine.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Up to Maine?
-Yeah.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: How long is that going to take you?
-I don't know.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Yeah.
That's the best way I guess, huh?
This is going to be like just one of those trips where you
like talk about years and years and years,
you know what I mean?
BRAD GERLACH: Oh, this one time I did this bike trip with
this asshole.
Here comes the thunderhead.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Look at that rain stuff.
Man.
Getting wet.
BRAD GERLACH: It's definitely raining now.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: A little wet out there.
Time for some cold ones and some crab legs.
Some real New England food, that's what I want right now.
BRAD GERLACH: So what are you going to have?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: I want crab legs.
What else do they eat out here?
Crab legs, lobster--
BRAD GERLACH: Scallops.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Scallops, lots of scallops.
BRAD GERLACH: Fish.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Beer.
BRAD GERLACH: Clams.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Clams, you got to have some clams.
BRAD GERLACH: Steamers.
Steamers.
And I'm going to have just a garden salad.
-Yep.
You want the red wine vinaigrette,
put it on the side?
BRAD GERLACH: No, I don't even need any dressing.
-Nothing?
Just dry?
BRAD GERLACH: Maybe a lemon.
-I'll bring a lemon for you.
Just remind me if I forget about it.
BRAD GERLACH: OK.
-So I've written you up the big one, right?
BRAD GERLACH: No, the small.
-Just a regular small salad?
BRAD GERLACH: Even just smaller than the small.
If they could just put a little bit.
If you could make a note just to make it really small.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: You got to put some meat
on your bones, man.
You just getting a salad?
Alright, I'm going to get some fish and chips.
Are they pretty small, or big?
-It's a good size.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Good size?
-Yeah, it comes in two pieces usually.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: All right.
And then I want to get a couple appetizers.
I want to get the seared ahi.
-That's awesome.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: I want to get some clam cakes.
-Is that for you?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Yeah.
-Wow.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Yeah.
And then which one do you recommend, the jerk wings or
the buffalo wings?
-I like the jerk, man.
Where you get a little sticky and a little bit of spice.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: All right, I want to get some jerk wings.
-Jerk wings.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: He'll help me out a little bit.
BRAD GERLACH: Jerk wings?
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: And then can I get
some kind of lobster?
Because we're in New England right now.
BRAD GERLACH: Jesus.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Are these different ones?
BRAD GERLACH: Yeah, the blueberry one's pretty good.
Give me that fork.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Hold on, I'm trying my beer right now.
BRAD GERLACH: This one's fucking tasty, man.
This guy smells it.
How is his food intake?
Woo, woo, woo.
RICK GOMES: I come out here, I spit raps and rhymes, guys.
I'm the best-dressed homeless man in all of Newport.
(RAPPING) Singing's my game.
Rick is the name.
Slick Rick Gomes isn't taking the blame.
And the money I make, I make it all by myself.
And then I have to share it with everyone else.
So McCue took his rhyme to the very next level.
I don't carry a brick but I will ring your bell.
A Roxbury crackhead don't sound cool.
Singing here and tripping, a mother fucking fool.
And if you really don't mind, I got a show to put out.
Or do I really have to take it to the very next show?
Tick, tock, tick.
I see the clock on the wall, the rhyme's still ripping.
Woo!
Alright, fellas.
Thanks, my brother.
BRAD GERLACH: Alright, Uncle Rick.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: And it's been one of our better pit
stops for sure.
The rain came and I guess it couldn't
have been better timing.
Hey, Bradley?
BRAD GERLACH: Hey, man.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Hey, how you doing, buddy?
How those two beers treating you?
BRAD GERLACH: I think I had more than two.
CHRIS CHRISTENSON: Old Chief Two Beers has got his shoes
off right now.
We're always waiting on Brad.
It's either he had two beers or he's talking to his chick.
I'm ready to go to the next spot.
But maybe I will just--
I think I'm going to check out some [INAUDIBLE].
I'll be back.
There's no communication.
You're driving and you're just moving, and passing things.
And it's almost like thoughts, too.
Like, here's a house, here's a lake, now that's a thought.
Now you're past it.
Now you're coming up, here's a gas station.
And here's an old monument statue, whoosh, passing that.
Then come around this corner.
The coolest thing is just like I've never been to this place
ever before in my life, right where we're at.
And the motorcycles have brought us here.
You almost want to get lost because getting lost is part
of the fun.
