Thailand

Cars and Bikes.

Motto:"Honest officer I didn't think I was going that fast!"




This 2000 ZRX1100 was the best bike I ever had but after the accident I moved on to other projects. I polished all the bright work that had been painted black from the factory. I took a bag of parts to Bangkok on every vacation and had them chromed. Here you can see the differance between my bike and the stock bikes. I always thought a bike should have chrome and bright work.



This crash put an end to my riding days. I wonder what could have dented the gas tank like that.


Maybe in my next life I will have another.



This is a 1955 AJS 500cc twin. I was living in Bangkok when I got it and customized it with the help of a Chinese owned bike shop where I took it for service.


This 1985 750cc Honda Night Hawk was abandoned. I got a salvage title and restored it. I could have bought a cherry, low milage bike just like it for much less that I spent putting it back in shape.


After the 1985 Honda I got this 1995 Honda 750cc Night Hawk. It was a great bike that would run forever and performed very well in all areas. That cute girl is my daughter Susan


This 1950 Harley 74 cost me $150.00 in 1969. I was just back from Vietnam and Peter Fonda just released "Easy Rider". I built the classic chopper and rode it for a month before selling it. The worst riding bike I ever had but, it looked so damn cool.

This 1967 Nova Super Sport was lots of fun. I really had a great time in Hawaii at the car shows. My very first new car was for high school graduation was a 1966 Chevy Nova 2dr so this one was like a walk down memory lane for me. Car shows are so much fun with all the guys talking about cars and stuff. The girls? Oh, just some models that worked for the show manager. I never knew their names. Honest.

In Hawaii this 1979 5.0 Mustang was the only Ford I ever owned. It was a fun car but was the early model with a low output 5.0.

In Hawaii this enery level Corvette project car cost $3000. I did most of the restoration work on it myself. It was not fast but it sure did shine. All the chrome was done in the Philippines and cost about $50.00.


This 1995 M Edition Miata is my wife Marisa's car.




This is my newest toy. A 2007 Toyota Matrix "M Theory". So far I love it and will start adding some minor modifications to make it my own soon.
