With only time for a local ride, ventured out on Wabs, the weestrom.
First up, a little food.
My bud Ivan, at Hidden Power Cycle Clinic, had called the the night before saying that he was working on a Vincent in a track master frame. Would I like to stop by to see it?
Tony, the owner, his wife Elanor, and Ivan had just loaded it into their custom van.
Nickel plated 4130 chrome moly frame.
Look carefully, that's a custom ramp in the back.
Suzuki front end and brakes.
One-off TrackMaster frame extended ~12 inches for the engine.
Mechanical ****.
Noticing how clean it was, asked 'Does she handle as well as she should?'
'I don't know, I haven't ridden it' Tony replied.
'I raced desert for 30 years, and now am too old to ride. So I bought this as a labor of love and look at it as artwork.'
I did NOT ask to ride it!
The tank is an old Bud Ekins tank. It was holey tank.. but all better now.
On with the ride. Found a bamboo farm on the north side of Paso Robles, CA on North River road.
I was wondering about the wisdom of having such a water inensive crop when we're in 4 year drought... but still, the structure is coolio.
..another eye catcher.. check out the laminated power pole..
Found an old Hudson. He lives near Seattle. This YOUNG Hudson lives in Paso Robles, CA.
Love the lines.. and it looks unrestored. Original.
It was hard to tell if it was for sale or the guy had just bought.
Interior.
Goodbye Mr. Hudson.
2b continued..
