Hand-lettered signs, helmets, parts, motorcycles, and all sorts of things I'm interested in.

Hot Rods at Bonneville Speed Week

Even though the record setting part of Speed Week didn't happen there were still a lot of cool cars to be seen.





Bonneville Speed Week 2014, Bonneville Salt Flats

Well, I made the long trek south to watch the Bonneville Speed Week racing.  Unfortunately, heavy rains flooded the salt flats and the Speed Week was cancelled. All the stuff that looks like water is water! It was up to the knees at times.

Falcon!

I haven't posted any Falcon pictures in awhile, so to make amends...







Kenny Rogers Black Velvet Painting

The description says it all. 

August Sign of the Month- Vintage Hire's Root Beer Sign

This great old Hire's sign is painted straight on the wall of this old grocery store in Portland, Oregon.  I saw it and had to take a picture.  This is also a testament to the durability of hand painted signage versus cookie-cutter vinyl.  How long has this been there?  Judging from the bottle, probably from the 1940's or 50's.  I hope its not painted over in the future.
