LOOKING FOR A 60'S RIDE - CAGE

Here's the deal...

Need to find a good running 60's vehicle for my offspring. Here are some of the basic things I'm looking for to bring it home.

It's got to be AMERICAN MADE,

automatic

Power steering

Good brakes

Prefer a straight 6 but, will consider a small 8 banger

Prefer a 2 door, but will consider 4 if not too big

At least a working gas gauge

Minimal rust (magnet test will be done) straight body, good glass

Most important...No title drama. If you got the PINK-let's talk

I'm not looking for a classic to restore, just something easy to maintain to enable a kid to learn the value of keeping things up and how to do them on your own. I've got a budget of around 5k -tops.

WORK SUCKS BUT I NEED THE BUCKS

I learned a valuable but sad lesson last week, and I haven't been in much of a mood to publish or read anything.

I will never get used to the idea that people are indispensable and need to be treated like crap just to make a BUCK. How many BILLIONS is enough before you put the loyalty of long time employees before making A FEW extra pennies?

BIG TAKE AWAY HERE..MANAGEMENT LIES AND DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT YOUR NEEDS OR FAMILY.

KARMA IT'S TIME TO KICK IN...

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

This Bloke was demonstrating a right of passage. I guess in Jolly Ol' England this is an acquired talent that takes many years to perfect. The object is to place a condom over your head (that alone is no easy task) create a tight seal around your neck, and blow as hard as you can until the thing explodes.

He was able to perform this skillfully 3 times.

LAUGHLIN RIVER RUN 2010

Not much of a surprise, many of the bikes look the same (in my opinion). It gets kinnda boring looking at ape hangers, fishtails, and chrome to no end. Real bikes are few and far between.

Great time to get together with friends and share good times.The worlds greatest lady celebrating her B-Day

LAUGHLIN 2010

Yes attendance was still down a bit but, definitely better than last year. Typically the Avi has the "Run Wuch You Brung" drag races on both Friday and Saturday. This year it was down to only a few hours on Saturday.
Reminds me of the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.

Not too many old cool stuff but...

On Friday the crowds were very lite.

YOU'LL BE SORRY !!!!

iron gutt Alissa.

MORE AND MORE HIPPY KILLA

So much good stuff it's difficult to draw the line

MORE HIPPY'S

Even Twinkie the Kid made it out.

T-Bird

Oink-Oink. Cool BBQ

Lots of Jap bikes.

Does it get any better than this?

HOEDOWN in Winchester

Hey man, that's my shot!


Only the finest entertainment. Dang we missed the Creepy Creeps


Who says Blonds have more fun

Wouldn't want to be in MMF's shoes

DIFFERNT WORLDS, BUT IT'S ALL GOOD!!

Funny thing how the motorcycle world emulates the economy. In days past the MotorCo would have these elaborate parking lot parties featuring LIVE MUSIC, choice of surf & turf, soft drinks, bike giveaways etc....Now it's more like cold hot-dogs, a bag of chips and music by Ipod played through a home stereo system. Don't get me wrong, the good stuff still happens. You see old friends and you meet new ones.

Another interesting observation, the variety of tastes and bikes people see as their masterpiece of what a bike should be. Although similar in some ways WORLDS away in the eye of the beholder. The passion is the common denominator when you speak to any of these folks; well at least the ones who have the two wheels on their mind 24/7. You know the type, you know the feeling it gives you.



The Orange and Black and the bikes..



FRONT & BACK

Someone actually drove up on this thing. I can just imagine how much flexing goes on here. They guy riding it was pretty tall, but it was still a stretch.


The contrast is amazing...




This is paint.

nostalgia

pain/LOVE



Girl bike, Girl rider.

Till next time.........................................

F#%$ THE FRENCH-Except for the bikers of course

You know this kind of mentality is happening here. How many times have you tried to overtake someone on a packed street or freeway only to have them move over to block your path. Do they really think we can't see their faces in their side view mirror?

Be safe and make eye contact.

SPRINGTIME

Alissa took this picture a couple of years ago (can't believe I'm saying that).

It captured about two years of good and bad times, but in the end it worked out for the best. Just goes to show you, that no matter what road your on it will lead you to your ultimate destination, but not exactly as planned.

This weekend I'm going to try to get a group together to head out to the Street Chopper shin-dig out in Chino. Come a-long.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT

My mild mannered neighbor (Rick M) is one cool customer. Love riding with the guy, doesn't attract allot of unnecessary attention, doesn't blow through yellow lights, respects old people (me) and waits for my sorry ass when my bike breaks down. With age comes wisdom they say, and yes, experience my friends! It takes skill to position your bike in a Hotel Room and not block the TV.





Hope they gave you extra towels Rick. I think I see a smudge on those pipes.

WHAT A WEEKEND

Doesn't take much to keep me happy

READY FOR A HOEDOWN-HIPPY KILLER?

Kutty is putting on the second annual Hoedown. I missed last years because I was working a ton of OT. This year it's a different story.

http://hippykillersgarage.blogspot.com/

I met Kutty (in all places) during one of the Love Rides a few years back. Nice guy, likes to party. Oh you don't know who Kutty is? Check out this little gem of a movie called Choppertown. You can get in on Netflix. The one below happens the be a later version with extra scenes.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

Is it me or have we gotten off to a slow start. Sure the economy still sucking the big one, but hopefully people will start to adjust to these new realities, like no more overtime, bonuses, and affordable health care (sorry had to throw that one in there).

MOVIE NIGHT ON HOLD !!!! VENUE SHUT DOWN !!!!

Just to let you know this event is on HOLD for the time being. I just got an Email from George last night and he reported that the Rialto has been condemned. Yep, the fire marshals were not impressed with the electrical system in the joint and shut it down.

PMC members are working hard to come up with a different venue for the show. If anyone has any suggestions I’m sure George (626) 818-2450 would like to hear them. Stay tuned for up-to-date information on this and the other PMC events on the official web site..

DON'T COUNT ON ME!

This has absolutely nothing to do with motorcycles, except for the picture, (sorry) but I thought it would be a good idea to pass along, even if nobody really follows this blog. Let's just say it's my humble way of raising my middle finger to the government, since their doing such a magnificent job of handing our once great country to the...well no point in going any further. Just watch the video.
