I know our wishes are a little late for some of our east coast readers, but I hope all of you have had a great start to the long weekend with your families.

We’ll have a cold one here in The Garage to help our American friends celebrate.

One of our fave artists here in The Garage, Coop, has taken some time away from his muses (or should that be musi?) to spend some time painting dots. These aren’t just any dots though. This dizzying blur of red, white and blue dots melds together at a distance to become an American motorcycling icon.

As always, very cool Mr. Cooper. Very cool indeed.
