Perfect lines

Racing Alfas... pretty neat

Virgin Packard

Please leave her alone!

It must have been in a garage since WWII, notice the blackout headlight covers.

Nice coach built body.

the Miller front drive

Without a close second, the Miller is the greatest American race car.

Motorcycles at Peeble

Although I have seen all of these bikes before, it is always a treat.

The Scout are no big deal, but 4 from the same team, as raced, is super neat.

Dale's orange HD is very special, a DAH motor, but not in a hill climb chasis. It is the only rig of its kind, that I know of.

Big Valve Excelsior.

Flying Merkel.

I won't bother you with restored stuff.

BEST OF SHOW

Morbid perhaps, but it was the best thing in the show.

A restored car can be redone over & over again... who cares.

Had it been in original paint I would of had a nervous break down.

Restored cars & women with plastic surgery... all over Carmel.

MOTORCYCLE CANNONBALL 2010

Because I created the trophy, I am not eligible to win(a self imposed rule).

A cop out you say... absolutely!

I realize, of the 70 signed up 50 will show. The winners are going to be the finishers. Really the winners are the participants, even the bikes or bodies that break in the first few days. Everyboy involved in this hair brained scheme is a champ. I have learned a lot about these teens machines & have come to realize... the lying, cheating, & brotherhood are going to be the most valuable part of this race, not the silly trophy!

Marty Dickerson

The Stranger

As a boy, I passed & stopped at the Thousand Oaks Honda dealership & peeked in on new models & enjoyed watching the mechanics.

My Dad had told me one of the wrenches held some land speed records on a 'Limey" bike.

Marty Dickerson is the living heir to the Rollie Free throne.

I think, I became reacquainted with at Dick Busby's funeral.

I talked to him again at the filming of the 'World's Fastest Indian'.

Herb Harris recently told me another story that solidifies this man's legacy.

When he was a young man he rode from coast to coast on his HRD.

In each town he passed the word that he was willing to street race the local champ.

He won in every town challenge across America.

His reputation preceded him & upon entering a new town, word had already spread of the 'Stranger's' arrival.

Christian Audigier

This creep was in touch with a friend of mine, who is a vintage clothing dealer, a year ago & wanted to purchase my cuts collection.

Although the $$$ was insane, my conscience put a stop to the deal.

Mr. Audigier did get a HELL'S UNION book, and apparently, that was all the market research he needed to launch his new line.

I hope to meet him in person one day.
