Back to Route 66 and Winslow

Seligman!
We scored again at Snow-Cap! Last summer's rooftop show with John Delgadillo's band was followed up with a performance by Angel's band. Seligman is one of the best stops on Route 66, the Delgadillo family makes sure everyone has a good time. Angel is the person credited with organizing the movement to save Route 66. He may also be the inventer of fun. Here's a link. Angel Delgadillo then go read all the Wikipedia stuff and visit him, you'll be happy you did!

British Visitors
A wedding Party from England stopped in and left bonafied Hillbillies! They mistook us for a proper motorcycle shop and asked if we could help with a packing problem. (Their bags were wider than the racks and were hanging kind of scary). With a Makita, some scrap wood and a few drywall screws we got them back on the road without any permanent modifications or immediate injuries.



Enjoy your trip and come visit again!

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.

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.

The mirror we bought at the swap meet in Tustin fits! We'll hang it up after we paint. We finally got to sleep in the Motor Palace! The apartment's almost done so we decided to give it a try for the 18th Annual "Just Cruzin' Car Show." "Almost done" as in electricity, water, toilet, walls, heating and AC. This is the positive spin for no tub and no hot water, and for some reason iPhones and Internet didn't work for crap all weekend. (Thanks for your patience Joe.) READ MORE
