Bought some swag....took some pics....and got to hang out with Corky himself, took Vicki and I on a private tour...gave us some swag.....a great interview for the radio show....just a super nice guy...I met him at SEMA last year, so it was a good day!!!!





Barn finds...


A wall full of bikes....old bikes....

His office.....

Looks like fun. Hoping to hit it this summer.

Those old bikes remind me of the Curtis Wright museum in Hammondsport NY. Tons of old motorcycles - pre indian and HD era, many hand built by Mr. Wright for speed record attempts. Most for this purpose had no brakes, even hand built some with V-8 engines from the end of the 1800's- early 1900's...quite an accomplishment in the day. Also many early aircraft, bicycles, military aircraft. Not a large museum, but jammed full of real neat stuff throughout.

I was thinking about going down there to pickup up a set of tires sometime. Called today and the closest show they will be at is in August at the street rod nats. Need some tires for the caddy.

Very cool!
