Wrenching 1915

Have you ever picked up a book for one single picture? Yeah, of course not. Me neither. That would be a sure sign you were super lame andWAY too obsessed with vintage motorcycles...
Hamming it up - 1915. Someone searching for the parts to complete an early teens Triumph is probably totally cringing about now in response to this photo

Accessories

I hate it when people run overly large and conspicuous mirrors on vintage bikes...


Flathead Rob is starting to drive some real stuff. Pretty rad. I'm proud of the guy.

King Kenny - YZR500

In the unlikelihood event you've forgotten what a BAMF King Kenny was/is. 500cc's, 150HP and 200lbs...


Team Sweaters

As I'm sure many are aware I have been plotting for some time to try to make a Johnson Motors race sweater replica similar to the one pictured below. As a result I spend some time poking around at some of the repo vintage clothing suppliers.

One such vendor is Dehen. They make nifty looking stuff, I just haven't found exactly what I am looking for yet. It does however look like they are currently having a clearance sale of sorts. They seem to have a pretty good size selection of Maroon Varsity V-Necks. Seattle Cossacks jersey perhaps? I think $150 is about 50% off.
