 AMCA Western Nationals and swap meet. Dixon California June 20th. Part Three


A stock appearing early '40's Knucklehead.

As I mentioned, there are all kinds of beautifully restored motorcycles on display at the fairgrounds, but some of my favorites are the well ridden bikes that also show up. These are usually found in the swap meet area.

 Play it again Sam,


The first thing was to blow off the engine and
compartment with compressed air.

Sometimes you just have to do the work.

An antique Indian will always catch my eye.

I'm going to show some more of the very nice bikes that I saw.

 AMCA West Coast Nationals and swap meet. Dixon California June 20th. Part One.


A gold mine of antique parts.
If you need it, you can probably find it. But can you afford it?

Last year I attended this event and it had quite an influence on me. Shortly afterwards I decided to buy another motorcycle after an 18 year hiatus!

Legends of the Fall: Part Two



Let's take a quick look at an even bigger Legend. The fearsome Nissan Skyline. This car earned it's laurels as a serious high performance car. I am only somewhat familiar with the story of these cars. What attracted me to them is their very aggressive appearance.

Sometimes you just have to do the work; Fixing my truck's seat.

 I spend a lot of time on this blog writing about my musings and ramblings...


The seat looks bad enough in this photo.
But that was taken over two years ago!

But sometimes, you just have to stop talking and do the work!
