Century Motorcycles Father's Day 2009

Century Motorcycles in San Pedro has been having Fathers day parties for along time. They invite all riders for lunch and to enjoy live music. I go to see the bikes.

A perfect day for a ride and this kind of event. Note the beautiful San Pedro skyline.


One of Cindy's father's (Bill Cotton) Vincents had a place of honor inside the shop.


One of two Knucks that showed up. Note the shifter set up.


This belongs to the shop. Don't know it's history. Looks to be a very early H-D Servi-Car rear axle.


When they are in this condition, there's something about the timeless style of these classic twins that almost tricks you into thinking it's a new bike .


A '54 Cub. You don't see many of these.


It's kind of sad state of affairs that somebody had to ask the owner if it's real or a replica? Kind of takes the fun out of owning the real deal.


The Vincent singles just aren't as exciting. Maybe black would help.


Antique bike with antique alarm system.


This pooch was actually a Ham. At one point, when surrounded by Paparazzi, she just soaked it all up. Seemed to enjoy being the center of attention.


"Okay, I've seen enough, I'm ready to roll now".


It seems you can count on seeing some different bikes at Century. I'm not sure about this one but, there was a company in Scotland(?) that made a Four similar to this.


White walls with black rims just don't do it for me.


Another seemingly new Triumph.


Old meets new.


These Square Fours have a unique sound.


This looks like a fun ride.


The Paparazzi came out again when this chop showed up.


Paint by Jim but, art is by Yvonne Mecialis.

Oh yeah, a belated Happy Father's Day, mother fathers!

The Best from Henry's St. Chopper Show, Part 1 Mike's Bike

First up, Mike D's (Born Loser blog), clean '54 Pre-Unit Triumph. Mike collects and sells only the coolest and rarest period parts on the planet so, his bikes get the Royal Treatment. Looking at this bike, you can't help thinking back to the days of the early 60's custom car/bike show scene.

Old Rules/NewRules: Keep it clean and simple! Webco fork covers, narrow 21, and finned spool hub are helping with the mission.


Engine features: RARE Finned timing cover, nickel plated cylinder, polished '59 Bonnieville head, twin chrome 930Amals, Lucas competition magneto, Wassel pipes, Superior trumpet tips and Chicago MC kicker pedal.


In Trumpet land, the pre-unit rigid is tops.


More Stuff!: Stelling & Helling bars, White tuck and roll Bates style seat, Chrome ribbed fender, Sissybar by Chica, 50's vintage airplane tail light, Superior side stand, and a primary cover w/inspection cover.


Vintage 4.5" KD head light. "We don't need no stinking risers". The stock U-bolt bar clamps do a fine job holding the bars down.


Wassel tank with paint by his bud J.Edwards.


The beauty of balance and symmetry.

I'll post more bikes at the show from time to time. Some of the best will be first and then we'll sort of trickle it down.

For Triumph Lovers


This is Art for Gearheads

How about that hard tail or that tank? Wouldn't you love to have some of this stuff?

Okay, I'm a H-D freak so, I have to ask, was Tri-Cor ever a division of Triumph?

SOW 3 Best Triumph

This pre-unit gets my vote for coolest Trumpet at the Smokeout.

It appears to be a cleaned up vintage custom barn find.
