Captain America by way of Poland

What looks like a pretty accurate copy of Peter Fonda's "Captain America" bike. The rider finds himself in Poland of all places.

Last of the Wigwam

After losing out to Harley-Davidson in the WWII contracts to the Armed forces, well Indian did build a few, but never recovered from the Depression enough to be able to ramp up for the governments needs, the old standby finally went under in 1953.

Sinapore

Finally home from the Singapore Formula 1 race this weekend. 26 hrs total flying time from Singapore with a layover in Tokyo. Singapore is the cleanest city i've ever been to. The people are polite and everything runs like clockwork.
Matt and I had a great time mingling with F1 fans from all over the world.
Glad to be home.

Lee Marvin

Good shot of a young Lee marvin. Taken in 1953 during the filming of "The Wild One," he was only eight years out from his service as a Marine at Iwo Jima.
Motorcycle historians claim that Marvin's character in the film, as leader of "The Beetles" motorcycle club, more closely resembled a rebel bike rider of the fifties in his dress and attitude, than did Brando's character.
Brando rode a Triumph, and Marvin a stripped down Harley, but Harley got the bad rap for a generation as far as being the bike of choice for "bad boy" riders.
