Ted's Newburgh NY - TOO MUCH!!!






















































It was a beautiful day yesterday. I met George up at the Delaware Water Gap and rode to Newburgh NY to see friends at the Hudson Valley Chapter meeting. The meetings are held at Ted's (of V-Twin fame). Now whether or not you like his repro parts is inconsequential to this story. Ted and his dad have been collecting bikes for years. They are both extremely nice guys and gracious hosts. They have an unbelievable collection of bikes of every kind and year. Ted has an obvious "jones" for 60's and 70's chopper stuff which I will post later.
As I was looking around upstairs in the main room, Dan said "Oh there's more in the basement", well that was an understatement!!! The pics above are from the basement.
Ted has purchased this building and is developing it into a museum. We talked about how he will be involved in getting younger people into the old bike scene. There is a lot of educational "stuff " involved in opening a museum and getting it approved in NY state from what he tells me.
Enjoy the pictures. I will post more later.
It is just too much...

Ed's Pan - Harley Rendezvous 1985

I came across this pick I took at the Harley Rendezvous in 1985. I don't think I ever posted it before. This maybe one of a few pics I sent it to Richie Pan last year. Either way if you've seen it before or not...here is Ed's pan in '85.

Ahhh the 50's...Part II

Rod Serling look alike...less serious
I didn't realize it at first but looking at the bike and the guy on the left ...it's the same Rod Serling looking dude from the previous post, but this time he looks ready for Beach Blanket Bingo!
He also popped on his saddle bags and changed his muffler.

Ahhh...the 50's... Rod is that you?





There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
