The Zingers dragster and the bath mobile are both still out there. The last time I saw the bath mobile was at Conklin's place. It's in rough shape, but saveable!

Singapore Bound...
My '64 Bonnie engine is off to Sinapore. Hate to see the old gal go, but I don't have the time or the room right now for her. Bon voyage!

My MagnaCharger showed up yesterday, so after inspecting it, a little drinking ensued!

Gene's Blown Shovel
'78 super glide from hell. Take a gander at the primary drive. "A" frame and pulleys are Magnacharger, the rest is RSC. Simple solutions work while visually pleasing. Check him out at riversidecycle.net

A Second Chance?...
Yesterday I received an offer for a second chance offer on the Don Connelly I.S.C.A. winning show bike. It seems as though the winning bidder, who bid $25,000, backed out of the deal. I stopped bidding at $9,200. I had planned to buy the bike, remove the Magnacharger to keep for myself, put a Weber DCOE on her and resell her. As the bidding was approaching 10g's, I stopped bidding figuring it might be hard to get my money back out of her when it came time to resell. In the meantime, a deal of a lifetime fell in my lap, so I ended up passing on the offer for $9,200. It's a hell of a nice scoot for 9g's, but right now I just don't have the room. Hell, I'm selling some of my stash cheap, just to make room!

Digger Monday... in Texas
I posted this bike back in May. It was on Craigslist for 10g's. Well the seller finally came around, and a fellow JJ'er picked it up for 4 grand.

Show Rod Sunday...Boot Hill Express
Built by Ray Farhner in 1968. Ray started this rod with a mid 1800's hearse. It's powered by a 392 hemi with Hilborn injection. Sometime in it's long ISCA career, a fake 6-71 blower was added over the injection stacks. It too, has also taken up residence in the basement of the Peterson Automtive Museum.
