1965 BSA C15 Trials Bike





Field Correspondent Brother Tom sent these pictures in from Victoria.  Very inspirational.  Time to haul out my C15 project.

1960's Parilla Cafe Racer







I believe this one is a 175 cc single from the 1960's. The gentleman who owns this one has quite a few older immaculate Italian bikes.

Old Gas Station


This old timer is in really rough shape, but still sports some of the original signage.  I wonder if it will be knocked down soon.

Hand-Lettering in Shelton, Washington

I spotted this piece of faded hand-lettering recently in the town of Shelton, which has a good collection of old signage.

Giordano's Vintage Motors

On the way to Castle Rock, we stopped in at Giordano's Vintage Motors in Carnation, Washington.  This is one of the coolest car shops I've seen.  Old collector cars and vintage bikes; everything from Porsches to Honda Z50 monkey bikes!  Well worth a visit if you're in Carnation.  Check out their inventory on their website.

Racing Legend Mert Lawwill

Yes, that's racing legend and On Any Sunday star Mert Lawwill at Castle Rock.  Poor quality picture taken on an awful camera.  If you squint and look at it sideways, you can just make it out.
