3/4 of that dealer is Harley. I worked hard to find BMW stuff to photograph. Oh Goodness.

They have vintage bikes up in the rafters. I think I see an old panhead up there. All that stuff was up there back when the MOA National was there in WestBend, some years ago.

Hungstart, good to here from you. I guess Y'all are meeting on Fridays down in Mississippi. I gotta get over and see Rivers and Ernie at the hanger. I know they miss the Friday meetings. When I See the K1600 Bagger Grand America with the gold color scheme, I think about the gold '78 RS. Both great bikes. See ya soon my friend. Barry.

Back From Road Trip

Got back home from about a month on the road hauling freight. Totally whipped. Got to reviewing my pics, thought I would post a few more. Some new and some repeats.

Let me ride the elevator. Wah! VanWall BMW.


Cool R9T. Silver with brown seat. Stand alone headlight bucket. Fork gaiters. It floats my boat.

A proper BMW has round taillights and chrome bumpers.

This was the car that set BMW on the path to automotive greatness.

Monte Carlo SS



I think mid eighties. I like the long hood and short rear trunk. Front end V8 and rear drive. I think a 350ci small block punched out to 383ci with about 400hp would be to my liking.

Sitten the campfire chewing the fat, telling tall tales about your bike rides and other stuff.

Back in the Nineties, I was on a car racing team. The team owner was quite wealthy. He was big into motorcycles, he owned over a hundred motorcycles. Two of his favorite riders were a H/D Ultra Classic and the '89 R100GSPD. I rode both bikes a couple of times a month. It was part of the job description. Usually the H/D first. Really cool. Riding it, I was a VIP. Everybody waves, that dude looks cool on that American iron. Big, loud, flashy, American. Yep, pretty much the the Cool Dude; James Dean, Marlon Brando, Peter Fonda all rolled up into one. Rolled back to the shop, walking on Cloud Nine. I was pretty much motorcycle royalty. Parked the Royal Carriage. Now for the Real Ride.
