Roach Posters!
Its too bad the picture I had to work with was only about 1-1/2" square so it didn't expand too well but you get an idea of how cool these posters must have been!

More Wild Angels Original Photos!
Tony Nancy Solo Seat
I can't believe I didn't know who Tony Nancy was back when I saw the famous seahorse insignia on Scott Craig's "Skaliwag;" but the old Hot Rod magazines brought me up to speed on the late drag race legend and master uphulsterer. Anyway, when I was flipping through a Big Bike Magazine Gabe gave me (thanks Gabe) I saw the seat and had to post it! That seahorse logo inside the diamond and topped off with the crown is simply amazing!

Colors Magazine
I've never seen any of these magazines but thought the Panhead on the cover of this issue looked pretty cool.
Here's a great shot of the other side of this very cool panhead as posted by Mike Davis on his blog: http://www.bornlosermc.blogspot.com !
This Colors Magazine ad comes from a 1971 Choppers Magazine (large issue, not the small Roth owned version)

Randy Smith Was Amazing!
A 203 LB Harley? Wow, now that's quite a feat. I dig that "Knucklehead's Rule" t-shirt as well! So very cool. Randy Smith, bike builder extraordinaire and muscle man! (from http://www.randysmith.info)
Mert Lawill at Cow Palace 1966
Check out these awesome shots of Mert from 1966. I am not familiar with the type of Harley he's using here but I like the leather jacket with business slacks and loafers combo, not to mention that Bell Helmet, Star maybe? (These great photos are currently on Ebay!)
Man, would I ever love to find one of these helmets as I'm sure seems more protective than the 3/4 helmets out there and still looks cool!

The Mooneyes Show in Japan is one of the biggest around, not only for custom cars but custom bikes as well. This year's show proves to be no less with a couple of my personal favorite bikes from Oakland to Santa Ana, CA. Check out the link at:
