New Arrival

The UPS man came today!! Joey makes choosing a finite number of pics a real challenge.

We Made it CLEAR this would be the first & ONLY time V ever gotten anywhere near this thing in shorts.


Wait Dad, your helmet!



Thanks for everything Seattle family's!! This was a day that won't soon be forgotten.

Memorial Day

4-Wheeled Post: Charger 440 RT

Very pretty 1969 2nd owner Charger I saw today. Still has the all it's original parts down to the factory AC, cruise control, and hub caps.

He told me that the stock broker who bought it new had to have the dealer respray the back to remove the stripe, because his wife thought it was too gaudy. Gues she was okay with the big block, however.

He also owns a 6000 lb immaculate 1942 Dodge military ambulance powered by a flathead 6 like the Plymouth. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum...

Tri-5 & Tri-umph

Decker Vincent

Jeff Decker posted some new photos of his nearly done Vincent custom. Given the way pipe wrap now torques off the "cool kids" I have to wonder if he kinda enjoys f@#king with people a little. It's a given he enjoys doing it to purists...

BMXA

For some reason I was thinking of the Bicycle Motocross Action magazine crew the other day (R.L. Osborn, Mike Buff, Bob Haro). I always wished I was cool as Mike Buff (not in the cards). Shame they never got the $$$ and women Dave Mira & tony Hawk did, they earned it!!

Bob Haro cartoon, I can only assume this was drawn with Neil A. in mind.

Suicide Legion

Don't get me wrong, the Seattle Cossacks are cool as hell, I'm just not sure it's for me. Suicide Legion... I wonder if THEY'LL let me ride a Triumph.

Flathead 3

I was too damn amused by the following e-mail, I had to share:

The PW50 is officially on it's way. Aunt L got it shipped, and said the shipping was an early birthday present for Vaughn (either that or a very late one, depending on how you want to look at it). She wears the pants, so I didn't argue with her. Besides, it was very reasonable. I think she got a business discount.

It is UPS 4-day ground, but that's business days, so it's scheduled for arrival next Wedneday. I hope Vaughn can wait that long. A week is a lifetime to a four-year-old...

By the way, I was jealous that Vaughn calls his bike a "Fifty", because it sounds bigger than my (Harley) 45". So I calculated the displacement of his Yamaha in cubic inches... It's 3 cubic inches! That made me laugh. Henceforth, Vaughn's bike is known (to me anyway) as the "Flathead 3"...

Cool Aunt & Uncle or what?!

Two stroke performance is hard to sum up on paper. He may well still whoop your ass.

What's in the box?

I forgot to take a photo of the contents of the box, because it started to rain. Please tell Vaughn that it will be on the way starting tomorrow. More details to follow...

Wish I could be there to see it opened...

Normally I'm not a huge fan of "bass-boat" flake but this just rules!

Small City Cycles

Pretty nice.
