Motorcycles, Trucks, a Car, and Stuff

We want a clean one like this for the Motor Palace cheap!!! Mini Enduros moving out to make room for Lori's project.  Red Bikes Nice mostly original 1935 V8. This one's probably going to Sweden. In New Cuyama, pretty good Tri-Tip. We thought we were getting this one but the guy quadrupled his price at the advice of friends.  Lori's next project-a 1969 Triumph TR25W. If you thought it was a BSA it's because it's mechanically the same as a B25. Black Bikes- we just picked up the 1995 Fatboy. It's probably the cleanest one I've seen since 1998. We'll post a few more pictures soon. It's a blast to ride. I just liked the way this looked.

Death Valley ride and lots of R80G/S pictures

Brian Jr. (no relationship) and I met up in Jawbone for a ride through Death Valley. The weather was  great and other than my chicken out on the Racetracks Playa road the trip was perfect. Brian JR. at Jawbone Store It's dark out there Panamint Restaurant after closing time We spent our first night in Panamint Springs. The staff here is very friendly and they have clean simple rooms, cabins, and a camp ground popular with motorcyclists. We even ran into a few friends from Irv Seaver Motor Cycle. The hand made chile was accompanied with live entertainment consisting of a roving drunk and a patient Sheriff's Deputy. We were lucky, the drunk didn't visit our table 'til breakfast the next morning. Friendly guy and if you're looking for a completely stock shovel with an FX front end and Branch built S&S motor that hasn't been run in twenty years hit me up. He gave me his number and I'll be happy to pass it on. Disappointed Brian Jr. ...

Swap Meets and trip planning

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 m...
