Anonymous December 30, 2012 10:10 AM That "Porn Sled" just makes me giggle every time I see it in a photo. Is the plastic front end still pliable, or has it gone all hard and cracked? I really need to see a pic of Lori sitting inside the beige bomber. Something tells me she's truly repulsed by the "sled"! Happy New Year! Official 66 Motor Palace response: Enclosed is undeniable proof Lori loves the Porn Sled. The Porn Sled has spent its life garaged except a short period when it lived under a cover. The nose and tail are still pliable but the shiny beige laquer paint has a fair amount of checking. Happy New Year!

Apocalyps disappointed but Christmas is great!

After surviving the Apocalyps we drank coffee and went to Irv Seaver to pick up throttle cables for the R100S and the Orange Farmers Market to buy food. We saw this nice Vette on the way to Irv Seaver. 63 Vette with a big guy wearing a Santa Hat That '63 might be faster but this one's beige!

Christmas Poem 2012 "End of the World Edition"

You beat up some kook in an S.O.A. tee, ...drive home from the park with a freshly chopped tree. The wife’s on her iPad doing live request cam, you head for the market to steal a fat ham. Your phone starts to buzz as you head out the door. The In-laws again, they’re looking to score. Christmas will be here in just one more night, bring ’em a bottle they’ll stay out of sight. The kids left last Friday to go out and play, they always come home for the big holiday. You pass by a church and think about mass, but you know ol' Santa don’t give a rat’s ass. Arrive at a mall where the parking lot’s packed, the really good cars have already been jacked. The soon bankrupt Center’s a mile away. You snag a good space it mi

Buell, Crocker, Indian, and a couple other American Legends

Go to Website Shop online    We got an interesting glimpse at the past, present, and future of motorcycling with the help of a a few old names showing a lot of promise at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show. Indian showed up with what they say  are the last Stelicon/Gilroy/evo inspired Indian models, a recording of their new motor, and the genuine Munro Special (better known as The World's Fastest Indian). Their recent purchase by Polaris should provide them with more cash, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution capabilities they need to be a world class player again. We're looking forward to some exciting new products from them! Watch the Movie!

I Googled my grandfather and learned he was born in Missouri. I'm pretty happy about that because I liked riding Route 66 through Missouri last summer and everyone we met there was really nice. Wendy and John who we hung out with in Seligman, AZ are from Missouri too! My Grandfather's parents, brothers, and sisters in 1894. He was born in 1895 and didn't make this photo. My Grandmother was born in Mississippi near Tupelo on the Natchez Trace.
