Real School

More slight life envy thanks to Matt & the guys at RealSchool. Impromptu land speed record attempts on Bonnie Claire Dry Lake in Death Valley. Ever get the feeling someone is having more fun than you are?

Japanese Triumph

Not my taste exactly but still sorta cool.

UL

Just in case Flathead45 gets sick of searching for restoration parts.

Schooling Springsteen

Shamelessly lifted from my favorite new blog find. Dale Walksler's son Matt has a blog called Real School. The concept of the blog just rules. This is a picture of Jay Springsteen getting a tank-shift riding lesson from Dale. Too F-ing cool!

Humble Pie - Rock On

Hmm. Apparently if you stack people high enough you have to use Unit Triumphs for a base rather than pre-Pan HD's.

Pan

This pic pops up on forums from time-to-time. The model always reminds me a little of Syd.

Package

I got a fun package in the mail today, just a couple weeks early for a birthday gift. Thanks Mr. Stromberg. Well worth the wait!

Several of my friends have been speculating it would arrive with "Princess Jewelry" written in perfect gold leaf script across the back. I'm more than a little relieved it didn't.

Chance, our neighbor's dog, helped just a little with the last photo.

Indian

This is such a cool pic.

Velocity Stack

A boring post for myself, thinking out load really. I'd still like to try running velocity stacks rather than the stock air cleaners, with a duel carb bike they stick out and are kinda in the way when I ride. Looking at some like these.



Clearly open velocity stacks in the desert are a dumb idea™ so I've been bouncing around some make-shift filter ideas. It occurred to me that a lot of the SCCA guys used to run covers on their Webers kinda like these.



The mouths on stock Webers are 2 ¾". The mouths on stock Amal stacks are 2 13/16". Maybe they'll fit.

Part# 99008 927 2 ¾ - Small screen covers to fit 44/48 IDF and IDA 45/48 DCOE w/ steel stacks.

These Pierce filters may not even be all that restrictive.

DCR Ride

The DCR had a ride scheduled with the Pharaohs Scooter Club today. I was gearing up to meet up with them when it started to snow. I decided to bag it. Looks like the ride went off in any case. I'm so sick of the weather being crappy on the weekends.

Joe Abbin

I stumbled across this picture of Joe Abbin's blown flathead recently. Joe wrote the book on blown flatheads, seriously. Joe helped me track down a Filcoolator for measurements etc. when I was looking for an oil tank. Nice guy.
