Swap Meets and trip planning

By 66 Underachiever


First, a couple iPhone shots from inside the Orange Workshop/Showcase (Maybe the world's smallest store). We're usually here on weekends so come by and say hello. If we're in back we can't hear so call us and let us know you're stopping by. We'll make a fresh pot of coffee.
A portable display case I put together for the Hippodrome smalls.

A shot inside the showcase.

Lori assembling Bondorella's brakes with Bomonster support.



"53" the guy on my right is Greg Landers. We saw him at the El Camino Swap Meet the other day. A friend asked how we knew him and Lori said, "He kicked Brians butt at the races." Hey...it's only'cause he's way faster than me! Here's a link to his blog.  http://greglanders.blogspot.com/




I'm still looking for the Dell Orto carburetor pictured here. This was the only one I found but it was attached to a bike. The good news it appears the old Jawa Speedway is worth more than I thought!





Here's Lori with the only surviving Fonzi bike from Happy Days. Bud Ekins built it and sold it to his friend Marshall Ehlers many years ago. It's to be offered at the Bohnam's auction at the Petersen on November 12th.




This long bike was at El Camino and Long Beach this weekend. It has a Moon auxiliary fuel tank on the sissy bar.

We're hitting the road next week for a little Route 66 adventure. We aren't sure where we're going but Winslow's probably in the picture.

Stay tuned!

    Hey Alicia! I couldn't figure out what bracelets you were talking about, then I figured out you were referring to the Jeff Decker stuff, and now I totally see it! They're actually a shift knob and two belt buckles, but we needed a way to snap them down in the case so Brian made the leather straps! I think we better clarify. Thanks for checking in!

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today. Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked! Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Triumph update, Lori's Goat Farm, and Stalking a Crazy Old Jeep

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
