Getting up at the crack of dawn to head to Daytona w/a friend. Not taking my 'Max, I will be on one of those heavy boys w/one-half the cylinders & one-half the HP, but still a V-engine configuration. Will swing by Boxenstopp's in Holly Hill to see what's going on Sat., & probably watching the National flattrack races on Fri. night, at the west end of the Speedway.

A pic of the wife of the Boxenstopp owner, and her 'fire-y friend,' who has a special VMax Gen II (it's hot!), and the g.f. of another VMax owner, from FL; pic of the grandstands at the Speedway, making a pit-stop. The 'Other Ride.'And, finally, the 'Other Ride' w/new tins, taken this morning Fri.the thirteenth, in Wellington FL.

Who-else is headed to NE Florida to escape the winter? :ummm:

The national flattrack race start. On the Atlantic Ocean in Flagler Beach. At Joe Rauff's Boxenstopp's VMax shop in Holly Hill FL, but everybody's gone. An old 1920's H-D. And, a bike built in Buffalo NY by a famous car manufacturer, it was the Confederate Motorcycle Co of its day, or maybe MV Agusta. Built for the few who could afford it, and beyond the reach of most of the motorcycling public. Worth well-into six figures especially in the 'as-found' patina which is so in-vogue now in the market. .

Some more old crocks for your enjoyment. The Laverda Jota is a 1000cc triple which had a resemblance in the engine design to a 305 Superhawk Honda, w/an extra cyl. It was a very sporting motorcycle in the 1970's. The other is Willie G Davidson's first styling exercise brought to market, very controversial at the time, especially for its 'boattail' fender/seat combo. It is generally considered the first H-D to pay homage to the 'chopper craze.' They made a Sportster w/a similar combo, you don't see too-many anymore.
