Ironhead Overload

There must have been a rule that all drag bikes back-in-the-day must have chainguards - which probably ain't a bad idea . . .

This motorcycle always intrigues me. On loan to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa - from what I found out . . . It was purchased by Frank Spittle at Zach Reynold's auction after his death. The dual carbs were originally on this bike - and Frank even found the original instructions Jerry Branch sent to Reynolds on how to run Nitro with them. Pretty Cool. One thing for sure, Jerry can't spell very good, but who cares about that????? Awesome stuff . . .

KEY WORDS IN LETTERS:

"42 degrees . . . "

"take out jets completely . . . "

"don't idle around . . . "

"bit more air pressure in the rear . . . "

RETRO REWIND = Cars & Guitars, Chix & Flix

Now hang with me if you can on this . . . John Wells and crew totally nailed it with this show. I'd never really seen anything like it. You could check out hand selected rows of rods & bikes, take a stroll(inside) over to a fancy deco movie theatre and walk right in on a showing of "7 Second Love Affair" . . . walk back over and grab a chili, tall boy PBR and check out the swap, retro clothing, movies, art, a half dozen pinstriping artists, a guitar collection like I haven't seen in years, pin-up ladies everywhere, a freak show, another PBR, walk back for a glimpse at "6 Over" . . . back again and again for 3 more cool movies . . . all for $10 ! I'm talkin' sensory overload again and again. I was there for almost 7 hours - and I missed the Friday Nite festivities - and left before Nikki Hill took the stage with more bands. Next year I'll be there Friday thru Sunday - You're all invited to come along . . . Good Times. Awesome Show !

Walk to work . . .

Almost every morning I walk to work and wave to craftsmen, workers, bankers, (I don't wave at lawyers), people taking kids to school, etc. . . . and I also check in with my friend - The River Otter (a North American River Otter to be exact). I watch him fish. He watches me drink my coffee. We are both up early and we notice the same things. The entire Cedar River is ours for a few moments everyday. Nature and the changing seasons at their best. I saw him last winter and the winter before. I never see him in the summer, he must go back downstream? He catches the walleyes I can't. I settle for baked Hake.
