i'm picking up new project bike tomorrow. you might be surprised. maybe not. photo's to follow.

real road racing. ernst degner, mz is number 19.

t-shirt.

punk rock.

xr750 sporty, '59 number board, perfect.

chopper. probably one of the better biker novels if the truth be told, i always wondered if his facial 'markings', [there's no way they are tattoos, even really bad scratchers would get the swastika the right way around!], were real, cut in with a knife and allowed to scar like an early scarrification or just drawn on with a red felt-tip? this was from a time when the iron cross symbol was still a sign of rebellion and not readily available to every tom, dick and harry in walmart stores.

put this one up for all fans of leopard-print seat covers, yeah, i had some in my first car, a mini clubman that i had half shares in with my mum, she used it in the day for her job as a homecare aid and i got to use it at night after work and alternate weekends, first job was to dig out the ac/dc cassette, then stretch those lovely nylon leopard skin covers over the seats and we were good to go.
