This past weekend was a good 'un as it was Bodgers three days off and was put to good use.
On Friday a trip to The Lone Star Motorcycle Museum was embarked on.
A nice little jaunt out in the south Texas Hills to see a collection on mainly British motorcycles.
Some of you may remember a past posting about the place that contains.a Brough SS80, several Vincent's, Morton's and BSAs as well as a couple of old Harley's, BMWs, Indians and even a Mike Hailwood Replica Ducati.
Bodger has seen, on previous visits to the museum this particular bike in various stages of restoration such as the metal parts after being painted that blue color as well as chrome parts after they came back from chroming.
The next day was Saturday and meant a trip to the 29th (I think) annual New Ulm Rally.
Bodger spent a couple of hours there getting some pictures and drooling over a B44 that was absolutely beautiful. In fact, this looked like it was brand new right off the showroom floor.

Others that were seen were:
As you can see, a varied selection of machines were in attendance this year. Most unusual were the chrome tanked Marmon which was in existence for only about 2 years from 1948 and there was a connection with Zeppo Marx of Marx Bros fame. The other unusual one was the Rokon.
Next show coming up is the Harvest Classic in October up in Luckenbach.
The brown beastie died this morning after being poorly the past few days; don't know if it was through sickness, disease or just plain old age due to her being 10 years old.
She was a daft dog who was devoted to me and she'll be missed here at Casa Bodger. RIP my ragamuffin.

that was used to transport Simson motorcycles and the general shape of it looked familiar. So after searching the little grey cells and doing a search on the 'net, it all came back.
The reason it looked familiar is this:
Commer van
Ford Econoline
Dodge A100
and lastly....
Chevy Greenbriar
Seeing these has got Bodger actually thinking that this would be a nice way to haul the old nails around, keeping with the classic look and all. Of course they would have to be sans the windows along the sides and in excellent shape, restored even. Wonder what a nice one would cost to buy??
