La Bajada Hill

Photos of La Bajada Hill, some 100 years old. Kinda makes driving your Range Rover or G Wagon to the mall seem a little silly.

Keenan Wynn

Rich Richards

Rich Richards fueling his 650 Pre Unit. I’m guessing nitromethane is not good for your paint.

King Kenny Hurricane

I loved this ad as a kid.

Jim Horner

Jim Horner 1969. The Horners lived around the corner from us when I was a kid. The Horners owned the primary taxi company in Albuquerque when I was young. Mark Horner, who was a bit older than I, used to organize impromptu BMX races in our back alley. I recall them using the trunk lid from a Checker cab as a jump.

Bobby J Johnson

Bobby J Johnson and Bob Reynolds in 1950.

Friendly Amal

It’s super important you arrange your Amal carburetor parts in a friendly fashion.

Sugar Bear

I’m not a huge long bike fan but the photo of Sugar Bear with one of his 60 over forks is pretty awesome. Sugar Bear says “if it’s not long it’s wrong.”

Austin Healey 100-4

I’ve been wondering how you’d mount a blower on a 100-4.

Olivia & Friend

My cube-mates new MC Augusta ended up parked next to Olivia today. I thought the contrast was interesting.

University Honda

Gilbert Eaton started the University Honda in 1959 and ran it until 1967, when James Tenneson and Terry Saxlund bought it. Terry Saxlund sold his portion of the company in 1981. The shop shut it’s doors in 2011.

University Honda - 1967

Dewey’s 1937

Dewey’s circa 1937. I had no idea Dewey’s was open pre-war. Anyone know what brands they carried pre-war? I’d love to know what year they started selling Triumphs.
