House Guest

What the hell?! That's not a Triumph!




Mexican Food

A routine day in the parking lot of Mazatlan.


Gearhead

Damn I'm gonna miss that little dude again. It's really fun to have a kid that gets it. I'm beginning to think he and Uncle Flathead making some half-cocked cross-country trip in a 100+ year old vehicle is eventually inevitable.

Washington MC Plate

If you are looking for a vintage Washington motorcycle license plate there may never be a better time to find it.

Driveway

I saw this photo and immediately thought this is a 13 year old Flathead Rob's dream driveway. Odds are good a 13 year old Vaughn's dream driveway will be quite similar.


Ran When Parked

Historic Antique Electric Trolley - $20000 (Issaquah, WA)

 It's near my work. I could drop by on my lunch hour and pick it up for you

Blue Rapide

Ignorance is bliss.

One of my incredibly generous New Mexico motorcycle friends (I miss you guys...) was kind enough to let me ride his Black Shadow several months ago. For the record, riding a Vincent is every bit as cool as you might guess. But now I know what it's like...

I have been secretly coveting Rapides ever since. I like that they are the less glamorous little sister. I love the polished engine. Then I stumbled across this red Rapide. Not black, awesome meant for American export (Indian dealer) lineage. I was in love with a motorcycle it's extremely likely I will never own.


Now a buddy shared this link with me. An out-of-focus shot of a blue Rapide. I can find no other photo. Doesn't matter. I am now in love with a motorcycle I know I will never own
