Mutant Vincent

My buddy Stephen loaned me a copy of Big Sid's Vincati. I'm really enjoying it. I'm not sure I could bring myself to "F" with a Vincent but if I did I'd definitely go Norvin over Vincati.

Born Free 4 - Invitation Builders

Great list. You know Kiyo will bring it. I can't wait to see what Matt Olsen shows up with.

Flathead Rob's big U has history with at least a couple of these guys. Kinda mind boggling to think about everything a 70+ year old bike might see in a life time.

Passion

"Johnny, it kinda reeks like burning oil down here."

Brooks' Cyclery Auction

Some interesting stuff. Lot's of "project" type stuff.



I like the 1951 Thunderbird. Lot 312

C@D Report

Nice day at C@D today. The weather was great. Some interesting bikes, most of which posted before. I finally managed to catch the regulars with the Trident (Jason & Jamie). Cool bike and they really put the miles on it.



Bill's impeccable CB750 cafe finally made it up on it's own devices. Bill thinks he may have fried his regulator and was running with a total loss charging system today (sorting a new old bike can take a little while). He rode back with us and the bike sounds great. I didn't take too many photos because I posted several before.



Scott(?) pulled in on his HD just as we were leaving. Melanie knows him somehow but I can't remember how. She showed me a picture of this bike once before they moved. I've previously always seen Scott on a cabon-fibered to the hilt Ducati. I like the Triumph tank.







The HD photos don't suck like mine usually do because Stephen took em with his cellphone. Ever notice a good guitarist sounds better on a crap guitar than a shit guitarist sounds on the best Taylor/CF Martin/whatever? Same concept in photography here. Lucky you.

Todd McLellan Classic Motorcycles

I stumbled across Todd McLellan's Classic Motorcycle Photography Project recently. Beautiful stuff. I love the top shots. It's a perspective you never see unless its a bike you ride.









The shots remind me a little of something I've seen before. Stephen needs his own Vincent to shoot. Business expense/write off, right?

CB750

I spotted this bike at one of my son's football games a few weeks ago. Never got around to posting it.

Cossette

Has there ever been a woman on the Seattle Cossacks team? I get the impression it's a pretty common question. Maybe this lady could have been a candidate. Can't hurt to look a little like Clara Bow.

Tradition

My son's football coach is about as traditional as they come. You'll see no cornrows, skull caps or gold lame shoes on his team (my son only cuts his hair during football season out of requirement and refuses to cut it the whole rest of the year). The boys wear suits and ties to the away games. Traditional preseason workout? Pushing coach's 1951 Ford truck. This all took place preseason this year but I saw these photos for the first time today.



While on the subject of football, this is the tenth year my son has played football. It's something he decided to do entirely on his own devices as a little kid. He has been a "first-stringer" since day one as a lineman, usually playing both sides of the ball, often entire games. He's a HS senor this year, team captain. I'm proud of him and I'm hardly a "football Dad" (that's Mom's job!). Team injuries pushed him into the role of sometimes Fullback this year. He scored his career first TD Friday (29 yards)! I suspect that fulfills the secret dream of loads of career lineman before him... Pretty damn cool moment.




Thanks to Saundra Harrison & David Crosby for the photos.
