1+MotoGP=13@free MCShow

So the race track no one wanted just south of town held its second, and by all accounts,very successful event, Moto Gp, this is the F1 for Motorcycles.
I love motorcycles but alas lack a grasp of the racing of them.

GP does involve hot girls holding umbrellas..that I can get a grasp of!


Don't get me wrong had I been given tickets I'd have been there but like all things at the new multi-billion facility it was very expense especially for a stay at home dad! Having said all that, there was a free MC show downtown in it's honor,so I loaded up lil Panzer and went to check it out, did not disappoint world class restorations, tributes, a Bonneville Salt flats time trial knucklehead and virtually all of Evel Knievel's stuff!!!!!


What an awesome surprise! Evel's bikes, capes,helmets, freakin rocket!





Rocket was so much smaller than I imagined the dudes was the ballsiest m.f.er ever!


Indian Chief


Bultaco, check those leather safety straps on the forks!


Impressive collection of Brits











Not the exalted Vincent Black Lighting, but the Black Shadow '52


It should say "please" stop! What a brilliant display of English mechanical prowess..art as function, functional art..


An early knucklehead set up for the salt! Just so badass I walked around this thing for 20 minutes!


Tank...it's free it's me..out!
