More of the same, only this time featuring some 2-wheeled vehicles...


More from Myrtle Beach: the "provenance" of the mod scooter is unknown, but that custom audio console was used at the RCA studios in Memphis for some Elvis sessions.

Also without an ID plaque- this cool Moto Guzzi... NYC.

I've seen Harleys and Gold Wings with extra lights, etc. before and thought them tacky, but this monster at the Hollywood HRC is so beyond beyond, totally over the top... it's so tacky it's cool, IMHO.
these pics don't do it justice, really.

The rear view: they really should rig this display so all the lights light up- that would be something. The ground clearance was not as bad as seen- the rear tire was flat. No idea who "L.C" is was, but he gets points in my book for sheer audacity. ;D

Sean, I love that Harley, My Dad ( Whitewolf ) bought a new one in 1947, I'm going to ask him if all these extras were avaliable when he got his.

LOL- no doubt this guy just kept adding to it for years... there's stuff from old cars, trucks... and I'm sure he gave JC Whitney a lot of business. ;)

Those bikes remind me of the old days! My friend had 36 lights he added to his 48 Harley! I thought that was a lot! Thanks for the pics!
