The greatest daredevil . . .

I like those low, straight pegs he uses on the bottom . . .

Dellorto PHM

This carburetor is unique in the fact that it utilizes a slide, and an accelerator pump.  The PHM Dellorto "Pumper" Carb allows you to adjust the accelerator pump also . . .

Noot's Electra Glide

Originally a CHP "police bike" in Los Angeles.  A local guy had a relative that ran an escort service.  No, not that kind of escort.  The type that chauffeurs important celebrities around.   He'd buy the higher-mileage motorcycles at the police auctions - and use them with his business (limos, etc.)  Long story shorter, the local kid got the bike finally in the early 70s.  He rode it for years.  It was about junk, sitting next to his shed - it got stolen and was missing for years and years.  Then he got it back - but he didn't want it.  So, Big Noot bought and spent a bunch of time and money - and restored it.  Pretty and original, but a little custom.  He rode it to Sturgis in 2000.  We just freshened it up with new tires.  It has over 100,000 miles on it.  I figure it was on the force in California around the same time as the Easyrider movie bikes.  Probably was if you think about it . . . Wondered why every single time I take it for a ride . . . I lose my watch.

GTX X X X X X ! ! ! ! ! !

Today I got to work and there's Darrel's 1968 Plymouth GTX factory ordered with 440ci and 4 speed transmission just sitting there with all the windows down.  Holy Shit it is so cool !  The first 41 years of my life I pretty much saw this same rusty, GTX running around town with Darrel or one of his boys behind the wheel.  Then, when it wouldn't go anymore - it sat outside beside the garage and began to erode away.  I'm sure many people tried to buy it.  Weeds all around.  Then, Darrel got a wild hair and had it restored - and he drives it again.  He told me this was an early '68 since it didn't have the turn signals on the top of the fenders yet . . . and I like his quart of oil under the brake pedal to keep the lights off when parked . . . Darrel said . . . "Oh yeah, gotta get that fixed . . . " Baby boomers had some cool shit in their day . . .  We get freakin' I Phones and a Prius . . . .

Bump Start Only

Greatest Barn Find . . .

A total of 6 cars went overseas.  Only 5 came back.  This (6th) super Daytona Cobra was found a few years ago after a father left it to his daughter (and she killed herself). This Cobra was found in the shed.  It is worth 4.5 million dollars - from a reported 5K investment.  But, it's still a Ford . . .

A fresh restoration . . .

No miles on the clock !

The best Harley they ever made . . .

It was a hot one this year at Davenport . . . however it didn't stop Willard from runnin' the dual-engine around the grounds.  Great to see Wiley & Co., Rattlecan & Co., Hippy & Co., Matt & Co., Heavy & Co., Geltz, Toby & Steve . . . DA & Cyn (that's her '72 she's wrenchin' on)  She picked it up this Summer . . . and it's never been apart - runs like a top !  It was great to hook up again and here what's been goin' on in this world.  Hope everyone has a good Fall . . . and see you soon !  -Noot Jr.
