Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful gem. I'm with you on the retirement thing.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

So weird you mentioned Blue Max. I stumbled on a pic and saved it just the other day. I had forgotten all about Blue Max, I sent it to buddy.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Wasnt sure if this should be posted here or the joke thread

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Won't be carving up any mountain roads with that thing.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: That's got to be a cornering fool, right there!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

At the tire shop for that brand new set big and small of SS Cragers and Polyglass radials.

E70-15's and L60-15's!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: I had friends who put that kind of combination on their cars, though they didn't generally lift them that high.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

The wild one?

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Sorry. I'm going to have to move this to the joke thread :lol:

Jacked up car or lowered springs? How long before those shackles, er pieces of flat plate, will bend. No radials back then. I guess he couldn't afford Hi-Jackers

You got it. Tearing up it up in Hollister :cool:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Budget cuts suck :lol:. Watch your head!!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: I built a '72 Chevy Vega with a 305 SBC engine and a 350 THM trans. At least it was a wagon, so the popo could have thrown the arrestee into the back of the car.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Far Dept was hit too.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

At least the popo would have a better chance of running down the offending vehicle. That would make a great K-9 unit...for a Chihuahua :lol:
I'm wondering if people would even pull to the side with these emergency vehicles approaching :lol:

Just good ole boys havin' them some fun

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: The chawa would just hide under the seat.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

How artistic

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Very clever -- I like it! :metal:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

That's hilarious! Lots of iron in those "links", too.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Vintage tools like that always make me think about when it was new and what a labor saving device it was. Before it you most likely had 5 or 6 people cutting and mashing potatoes but now you could do the same work with 2. One feeding potatoes in and one cranking the handle. I'm sure that they switched jobs as the crank man got tired.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Electric vehicle I’d drive .

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I do the same. In Baltimore they have the museum of industry. There's a complete canning operation set up, among other things

Cool. I'd run that! They have quite a few electric vehicles at the Boyertown Museum of Antique Vehicles
www.boyertownmuseum.org

Do you think this is electric?

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Hey, it's got training wheels too!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

A bunch of flatlanders headed out to Cotopaxi Colorado back in 16.
About half broke off and hit a Mexican restaurant in Salida. There was a massive fire up in those mountains back then.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_Pass_Fire.... I remember that well. Burned 16000 acres.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Megola.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

WTH? I want to see that thing run.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: It's a trike
That's a cool old magazine I never knew about
That a great thing doing a long ride with friends. I've never done more than a few hours with a group
U.........NIQUE!! I had to look into this one. German built, 1921-1925. No clutch. To start either spin wheel while on stand or push start. It had to be shut down to be stationary, so I suppose you'd shut it down and apply the brakes (2 rear). The owner manual suggests at stops to just make orbits rather than shut down :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

That was my last long ride. I’m getting close to being too old to ride like that anymore.
That was a fun trip. If I remember right we were out there for about five days. Lots of memorable moments.
The guy on the far left is a harley tech-( he left his scooter at home and was riding his dads Kawasaki) and the fella on the right owns a tow service. Both guys are named Mike.lol
The Tow Man is a super solid dude.Honest as the day is long and tough as nails… a great friend.

I sold the motorcycle to my brother last year.
I think his son is going to buy it from him when he saves a few dollars.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Yes, lots of damage. Can’t tell from my picture but there was a lot of fire and smoke.

Back in the late 70s-the mid 80s my dad lived in Salida and had a logging lease somewhere in the Saguache area. My brother and I were visiting him one summer when we were teenagers. We spent a few days at his camp. It was beautiful and peaceful there.
I really enjoy visiting Colorado.

The Megola

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

So quirky it's just too cool. Like Jay said, "This answers the engineering question no one asked" :lol:

While I'm thinking Motorcycles, here's another rare one's engine. Very ordinary, but could someone help me out with the pronunciation of this name, please?

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Hey, turn that Schiittoff would ya?
I never heard of that one.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I like my Schiittoff with sauerkraut. But it will give you the runs. Hence the name.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I was through Saguache today going down to Monte Vista to the Wildlife Refuge to look at the migration of the sand cranes.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Quote[http://<a href="https://en.wikipedia...ed 16000 acres]....We passed the Hayden burn scar on the way back and you can see where the fire was . It's been 8 years since the fire.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I'd like to witness that migration. Do they carry green cards?

With 4wds we call them lifted. With cars we called it jacked up. Before tubbing became a thing and along with that the term "Pro-Street". These were "Street Machines" or even "Street Freaks"

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I see those sandhill cranes in nor cal every year taking a break in the rice fields. Pretty cool birds.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

The only photo known to exist of my high school car.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I have an idea let’s make the truck out of aluminum.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
