Something of an update

While I continue to do a terrible job of maintaining Blogs, I haven't slacked on maintaining my Carbon Footprint.

Not content to run a 32v V8 Caddy for a daily driver I have move up to a Diesel F350 One Ton Crew Cab. It seemed strangely appropriate to make to move in light of recent steep increases in fuel costs.


Also kicked the sled up from a 600 efi to an 800 carb Mountain Cat.


Drill baby, Drill.....

I think Therapy is in order

What is it that makes me go out and look at 47 year old sedans when they come up for sale. I don't have the room. Despite our rationalizing, it is not a practical driver for my son to drive at college. I need a doctor. That's all...

Sidehacks

It's a family thing...

The Key to a Happy Marriage

A valve in head straight eight and a really big grill....

Making Greenhouse Gas in Style

Classy Knucklehead from the 2010 Davenport meet...

Been too long...

The quickest way to kill a website is to not keep it fresh. That's what I heard the other day. If that's true, I am giftwrapping a dead racoon here, but I am putting up a great picture lifted from Ray "Murdercycle" Luce's great collection of photos.

I like the combination of Industrial ruins and bikes....

Buicks can do anything!

Rest in Peace, Doug...

I have known a few as charitable and helpful, but none more than Doug "Dragon" Drake, upstate FLA. A walking encyclopedia of motorcycle knowledge, staunch advocate of constitutional government and a dyed in the wool "the south will rise again" proud southerner.

I am better for having known you and you will be missed. Godspeed, brother....

394 Ultra High Compression Olds

Fill her up with Ethyl, please...


Maybe someday we'll have it looking more like this...

You see the coolest cars at an antique bike meet

Old motorcycle people (or should I say old, old motorcycle people) have a flair for four wheeled transportation that makes me smile.

Why yes, Officer... it IS a Police Interceptor...

We made the switch. Phil's 78 Olds is in hibernation and the 99 Interceptor is the daily driver. It tends to run a little crappy now and again. I think we'll have Dan at DABs take a look and tell us what we're missing. Try as I might, if it doesn't have points and a carb I tend to screw things up...

What Gets Me in Trouble When I Travel...

Did I buy it? No. Did I keep his phone number? Yer damn skippy I did!

Cool Sporty Build

Saw this a couple years ago at Conspiracy Cycle in Dexter, MI. My kinda sportster...
I was there to pick up the four wide whites in the background for Phil's Buick...

This One Was About One Rust Hole Away From Being Phil's Daily Driver...

What a fun ride!

Ran into the local British car guru at work a few weeks ago (Ted Schumacher of TS Imported Auto). He had a sweet MGB V8 Roadster in for some work. Not available from the factory like this ( a limited number of V8 MGBGTs (coupes) were sold, but not ragtops.

Nice 3.5 liter aluminum block Rover motor with a cam, four barrel, aluminum intake and headers. Basically 300 hp in a go cart. Said I had seen many of these over the years but never ridden in one. "Jump in!", I was told...

He didn't have to ask twice!

You know... that '50 pan was pretty cool

even just as it was before I thought I had to take it back more stock. Paughco frame, wideglide with shoved legs, 21" star hub drum front wheel...
I guess the ultimate bike for me is always the one I don't have at the time...

Super Kim!

Borrowed from the Vintagent (on my blog list... check it out). I think I'm in love with a different motor....

Redefining "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Wanna Race?

Cafe Bike, anyone??

OK... Maybe the only thing potentially cooler than a Moto Guzzi...

A DIESEL Moto Guzzi....
