66 Motor Palace

BAD HAIR DAY Lori had a hair appointment Saturday and chose to ride her Bonneville, it's been sitting awhile so she gave it a nice bath, aired up the tires, and put it on a battery charger for a (little) while. It was a kinda hard to start and didn't idle too well but we figured the ride to Newport would make everything better. I guess it did until she got into traffic. It still wasn't idling well and stalled at several intersections. Finally the repeated starts did the poor battery in completely. Luckily she was over the hills and about a mile to PCH. She coasted to a parking lot and walked to the salon in time for her appointment. It didn't miraculously heal so I picked them up in the truck.

There's a ton of great information about the project and local Route 66 opportunities on their site. http://route66ieca.org/home Anthony Gonzalez President of Route 66 IECA the group dedicated to the preservation project.
