Lucky 13!

I was born too late! Should've been 22 in '69, instead of 2!
I like to think I'd a been right in the middle of it all, SoCal..blasting around LA on my chopped out Panhead! Tripping on tabs of Orange Sunshine! Going to The Whiskey to hang with The Doors! With that in mind check out these Foxy chicks lounging on their old-man's chopper, man!


I can almost smell the ocean and sinsemilla!


This bike is perfect just perfect!


These boot were made for riding.


Bell bottom blues...


That's an Ironhead behind that sweet behind bro! And is that a supercharger!


This a killer chopper with a "single" in it...


Quintessential 60s custom Panhead molded, raked, dual carbs, super hot model...


Slabside Shovel dual headlight way over forks with tiny front tire leather pants what else you need?


Perfection. The bike ain't bad either!


A classic,check that Black Sabbath inspired sissy bar!


Choppers really sweep the country after Easy Rider even Va. apperantly.


I'm not big on wide glide front ends on choppers but the horn totally makes up for it!


Women rode back then? And smoked?! What's next equal pay!

Tank, (turning on,tuning in,dropping....) out....

R.I.P. Clive Burr

So I got a text from Mr. 666,he says Clive Burr died. He was 56 and been battling MS for years, I'm totally bummed. We both agree that losing these guys is like losing a piece of our youth...I suppose he can finally rest... MS is a mother fucker, that perhaps we can one day eradicate! To say his drumming influenced me would be the biggest understatement ever!


Hell other than Bonzo, Clive was my biggest influence...I set my drums up like his, practiced that Run to the Hills intro and its famous tom roll a thousand times! Killers intro!
Idea of March, Running Free...



Man it goes on and on...the 1st three Iron Maiden records feature his blend of solid back beat with flashes of flare!



His high-hat work is reminiscent of Ian Paice and his tom rolls helped define the new wave of metal's drum sound.



It's weird I recently saw a Bruce Dickinson quote about how he thought Clive was the better drummer between him and Nico...bold statement but I totally agree Nico's got the chops but Clive had the soul, the feel for the grove...I'm bummed to lose one of my heroes but I have his music and the memory of seeing him live,that I'll have forever!



The Tank out...

1st Sunday

After some disagreement, feigned legal action and a name change,my local gathering of cool cars is back in business. I strapped the lil Panzer into his x- wing strolled and set out to look at cars...light turnout or the new setup has em more spread out I couldn't tell..anyway here what was worthy (not much) *more on that...

66 olds 442,



I always think of the movie Blood in,Blood out, when I see these.


You see Popeye is rolling his Olds when Paco , (El Gallo Negro to you) busts him and Popeye famously says.."Nice plaqua, you should be riding with me not fucking with me carnal." Classic flick full of quotes!
Here is Popeye with one now...


Kick ass Tempest, I respect that the owner didn't stick GTO badges n try to misrepresent like many many would and do.


Not a huge fan of the 3rd Gen Cutlass but this was a nice example behind it is a very green abomination that is all over town! It makes the blue look that much better!!


Very nice, classy E type 4.2... I'm guessing series 2 '69ish..so out of place with the *credit card grarheads! New Camaros with neon curb feelers n 22 inch rims no class no concept of having to actually time or tune an engine just throwing money at something does not make it cool. Damn it! This cat was cool.


Ok so this dude threw money at it but damn this Bavarian wench was hot! I'm a closet BMW fan they just say drive the shit out of me you big American stud! I would too!


Tank and lil Panzer out!
