Aeroglide on a Pan...

Buco Info found...

Stumbled across these American Motorcycling magazines online, going back to 1955. They are evidently scanned, but searchable, and great resolution. Somebody remember to feed Bitmonkey, because he will be drooling over old Triumph ads for weeks.

A scan for Buco solved my mystery. That windshield came out in 1955:

Buco info wanted...

Was perusing a local antique store this weekend and saw an old Buco windshield... Trying to get more info to determine if it may be worth something... The parts are all there and it's in pretty nice shape. Can anyone shed any more light on what it might fit?






I didn't get any dimensions...

Ginger King's first Sprite drive (Forgive the four-wheel post)...

Three generations of our family have now driven our '63 Sprite. Comparing the Sprite driving experience to his vast array of other driving experiences (Mom's van), he declared:

1) The Sprite is cool and fun to drive.
2) I like fast steering.
3) Can we paint it?

He did very well with the clutch. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one in Seattle who can successfully pull the starter cable. This may prove troublesome if he stalls the engine on the other side of town...

Channeling Jimi

The Ginger King had to come up with a "Hippie" costume for his latest theatrical endeavor... He came out to show me as Nate and I were firing up to exercise the 45" and his Pan... Suddenly reminded me of a photo I recalled seeing of Jimi on a springer...

You may already know all this but I thought this chart was kinda cool.

Cossacks Iron Horse Show

Went to the Cossacks Iron Horse show in Ellensburg today. Perfect weather, and the Cossacks put on a couple of good shows. I rode just at the beginning of each, but didn't crash, so it's all good.

Not often that one get to use the words "Argyle" and "chopper" in the same sentence, as in "Wow, that's a bitchin' Argyle paint scheme on your chopper..."



For Bitmonkey, a lone Triumph chop whose rider exhibited extraordinary testicularity in hanging out with the mostly Evo and Blockhead crowd...



For my man, V, down in the land of enchantment, these two slammin' chopped jalopies... The pickup has a hemi (392?), and the sweet little coupe has an Olds Rocket 88 and retro slicks:



And special thanks to my buddy Nate for good company and for letting "Hollister" share a bed with his 45":
