All about the Icing

No one really cares about whats on the inside, and that means good business for Gerald who can make your ugly, bent, rusty, dirty junk look good. Thanks G

We are 138 -1948 Daytona Beach Race

Brittany Hacks done her research, I was assigned #138 in D6 four years ago and have been using it ever since. Came across this old photo looking for pictures from a race and always wondered who the guys were and where they were from. Britt sent out an email awhile ago trying to find out and just got this reply.


The rider on the cover of Life  magazine you asked about is Al Wilcox (138) of Trenton, NJ.  He was racing in the 100m event which took place on 3/13/48.    Al placed his Harley Davidson racejob 35th in the race.  Behind Al is Norman Teleford (161), of Vancouver, B.C. Canada.  Norman, on an Indian racejob, came in 27th.  As an aside fact, these numbers were assigned numbers that the rider could use the rest of the year in national level events.  Al usually raced under the number 5B.

Spring Fling -1968 Harley XLH


Pretty Face


Big Heart

Junk in the trunk

Instructions



Picked up a 68XL basket case this week. Rushed to the bank at 7 pm and locked my debit card trying to take cash out over the daily limit i had set. After an hour on the phone with the bank trying to have it unlocked with no luck, had to resort to borrowing some cash off of J Pizzle. Drove 2 hours in a down pour , started running out of gas in Assburrried park NJ and remembered my card was locked so had to borrow more money off of Mr.Pat who was somewhat near by. Didn't get home until 3am, was well worth it.  Thank you both

  • Catalyst bodywork

Found this frame on CL a few years ago while i was at work and passed it along to a good friend that was looking for one. After i saw it in person I've been thinking about stealing it and wish i had kept my mouth shut. Joe if you don't have it running this summer i will take it. The End.
