If your looking to pick up any BCM stuff at Born Free stop by the Lowbrow booth & talk to Josh.

I'll be the one milling around in the shadows wearing a biker costume.

See you there.

My friend Lon just finished this DKW 125 Hornet build & he rode it well. 

After a 35 year hiatus from racing but I think he's hooked again.

Round 5's featured rider was German Maico factory rider Herbert Schmitz.

Herb won two classes & it was cool to meet him.

The pups first race & they didn't give shit about any of it.

Hendey Factory Tour 1943

My friend Nick posted this link to a photo essay of the Hendy Machine Companies production process.

Cool photos that seep the work ethic & pride that was the America of old.

I was into it.

Grumman Widgeon

 Grumman G-44 Widgeon

produced 1941-1955, 5 passenger + pilot

twin inverted inline 6-cylinder engines, 200 hp, max speed 160mph

(Off Topic)

This time of year I tend to get "summer home sick" for the east coast green which usually ends up in a bout of childhood nostalgia.

As a kid my uncle Mike was the ultimate outdoorsman, backpacking, hunting & fishing excursions were the norm & a lot of the time the preferred mode of transportation was a Grumman Widgeon which he co owned with a good friend.

I was fortunate enough to enjoy a few flights in the Widgeon, some day trips landing on Chautauqua Lake & a couple of long flights to fish in Quebec at Beauchene's 40 lakes.

It was years later that upon landing the plane hit a log hidden underwater, went end over end & ended up at the bottom of one of those 40 lakes. 

Mike & friend were cut up and broke a couple bones but made it out alive.

I always thought water landings & take offs were super fun of course I wasn't the one trying to dodge sailing enthusiasts & ski boats.

Just so you know.
