66 Motor Palace

Lori went camping It was an "all girls" motorcycle campout so I didn't go. Read about it at Motor Dolls in the "News" section. Filthy Sportster with monsoon stains ready for campout. I met her the next morning Clean Fatboy on abandoned section of Route 66 south of Cajon Pass.   Volkswagens Greg's looking for an old VW to use for Orange Seed Co. so we crashed a VW show the day before it started after lunch at Pancho's . I was too full to take many pictures but I couldn't pass these two.  I think the license plate is the name of the builder...should probably Google it but I'll forget the name as soon as I close this page The back seat looked pretty comfortable.

I saw a guy shooting with a Leica M8 at last month's  Deus Sunday Mass  and since I've had Lust for Leica (get it?) most of my adult life I took advantage of the opportunity to speak to it's owner. The Photographers name is Peter Heck and it turns out he likes it. He spent considerable time teaching me about it and making lens recommendations. He never said so, but over the course of our conversation I got the idea he wasn't just taking snapshots for his Facebook page. As usual our conversation drifted to motorcycles and motorcycle things, (he rides a modified/lightened/hot rodded BMW R90/6). As we wrapped our conversation we exchanged cards confirming my suspicion, Peter's a professional photographer. We've stayed in touch since returned to Germany and he's been kind enough to share more photos of his motorcycle, these taken on a ride through the French Alps. Anyway the point here is you should go to Deus Sunday Mass. "For sure" they...
