Crusty

Stake A Claim

Dirt Quake 2016

I just stumbled across this American Iron story on Dirt Quake. I didn't make it to Dirt Quake this year but evidently Flathead Rob did.
 
Amidst the menagerie of motorcycles circling the campgrounds at Dirt Quake was the tank-shifter of a Seattle Cossack

Ran When Parked

1968 Triumph T120R - This '68 Bonneville was stashed away somewhere with on 31 miles on it. It just sold on eBay for $22,500, roughly twice what nicely restored ones see for. If you ever had questions about specific restoration details (exact decal placing, wiring routing, hardware, etc) you might never see a better reference bike. It probably still has 1968 air in the "made in Great Britain" Dunlop K70 tires...

Bikes like this are fascinating but it always makes me a little sad to that they never go enjoyed as a motorcycle.

Locomotive

This photo of the AT&SF 2926 in it's original Coronado Park location. Based on the date of the truck in the background and the orange spotting paint this must be a photo taken around the time of it's move. I can barely remember playing on/around the locomotive before the fence was stood up around it. I think I remember being too scared to get in the cab even with my Dad's help because it was too high.

Bitchin Camero

Bitchin Camero - Classic BMX humor. Why not name your frame after a mediocre 80's punk rock song?
