Seattle Cossacks Rest Stop

Unidentified Seattle Cossacks make a quick stop at the Summit House, Snoqualmie Pass Washington. Rob & I made the same stop with our two bikes on the trailer  on July 4 while returning from a show in Cle Elm. 

New Mexico Motorcycle Patrol

On March 14th, 1933 the Legislature created the New Mexico Motorcycle Patrol. They were formally inaugurated on August 5, 1933 with a chief and nine patrolmen. The program only lasted two years due to a high rate of patrol accidents.

1928 Indy Winning Miller

I recall getting this Scholastics book in the 2nd grade. I fell hard for this 1928 Indy winning Miller. I absolutely studied this page, ultimately deciding it must be the most beautiful race car ever built. All these years later I’m pretty confident I was right

Jimmy Phillips

These photos of legendary racer Jimmy Phillips were recently shared by his daughter Andrea.

This photo shows a pre war frame with a post war GP style engine. Notice the square alloy cylinder developed for use in RAF generators used on British WWII bombers.

This photo shows Jimmy as an amateur notice he’s running number 98 rather than 8.

This bike and photo appears to be pre war.
