Supercharged K100 engine

Eddie promised me he would pull it out, clean it up and let us get a chance to see it, probably the only one ever built. Hurry up Eddie.

Sent some of the pics over to Ron of his Impala SS. He said thx. He texted back asking if anyone had a spare 409ci Chevy engine laying around not being used, he might be interested. Wouldn't that be nice.

Went by to see my old buddy Vernon Noles. Back 25 years ago Vernon let me borrow a small corner in his garage in West Memphis, Ar. I totally dissasembled the bike and did a pretty complete total redo of the bike. He was quite impressed. Anyway he sold out completely in W.Memphis , bikes tools everything, he was getting out of the bike business. Got up to Russellville and got the itch and he was back into working on bikes. Then a while back getting his drivers license renewed, he couldn't pass the eye exam. Sad. He's only 89. Anyway he's getting out of the bike business for the 2nd time.

Rockabilly Ground Zero

I left the rally on I-40 heading west. Stopped in at the west Tn. Welcome Center at Brownsville. Easy off, Easy On. They were having a special celebration of one of the local greats, you may recognize her. The legendary Tina Turner. Tina grew up about 20 miles nw of Brownsville in the famous little town of Nutbush. Local girl makes it big, is an understatement.

Pictures of the Tina lined the Center.




Small town country girl makes it bigtime. They were playing her hits the whole timeand I knew all of them. America at it's best.

Some of her Outfits



She was the real deal. She was hot. Watched her many times on tv on those variety shows. Watching Ike and Tina Turner Review with those Iketts dancing was over the top. My little juzenile eyes would pop outa my head. The 60's, those were the day.

Yes, if you follow this tread, you won't get to see many pics of snow capped mountains, ocean waves rollin into the beach, or exotic jungles. You'll have to suffer thru BBQ joints, Honkeytonks, Blues clubs, Rockabilly festivals and such. All you stand. So be it. I live at the Nutbush city limits. ps. In between that you'll see plenty of pics of BMW motorcycles and and the folks that ride'em.
