RIP Bruce Brown

Legendary motorcyclist and "action sport" filmmaker Bruce Brown just passed at 80 years old. In a day when kids couldn't just watch every race on cable TV or the Internet his movie On Any Sunday II first introduced me to motorcycle greatness. Both Bruce's surf and motorcycle movies were surprisingly entertaining even for those weird people that aren't into motorcycles. Bruce will be missed. Thankfully Bruce's son Dan Brown is helping to carry his father's legacy forward.

Cool bike. I bet she came into shop without the intention of getting caught up in something and had a white shirt on. It happens to me too. I’m not much a fan of skin grafts so all my work shirts just have shop stains...

Johnson Motors Style

Simpson’s Cycle

Salt Scout

Jim Mosher’s twin engine Scout at Bonneville. Mike Breeding, if you happen to see this do you have any idea what sort of speeds it’s hitting?

1939 Triumph T100

The holy grail, a bronze head pre war T100.

Art

British Ironworks Brian drew this some time in the 70’s. Pretty awesome. There’s a lot to see there.

1/4 Mile JOMO

1965 Plymouth Belvedere with a 426 wedge. Who the hell knew Johnson was a Mopar guy...

The Call

Hi George. It’s been a few days since I asked about the Norton.

Wendover 1967

From the fine fellows at Frank & Grubb. Proof a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Back in the Gyronaut's day (1967), an as yet unidentified motorcycle crew sets its sights on a land speed record from inside the comfort of Wendover's best. Boris Murray (right) and Jim Cook (center) with Boris' wife looking on. Thanks to Bret Edwards for the ID! Still more photos from 1967 can be found in Hot Rod's Yearbook.
