  1. Nice collection! The scooter in the face mask reflection looks like the one from Dumb and Dumber 🤣

  3. 5th from the bottom, I'm trying to visualize the connection from the jeep to the teardrop. Looks pretty extreme. Maybe in that view it is broken off?

    1. Brakes are for the faint of heart and what’s behind you isn’t important.

    2. That can't be a good idea. But props for the awesome bike.

  5. The willy's jeep story is pretty cool, I can only imagine as I traveled west with the family in A/C

    1. If you're talking about the blond in the green pick up, I believe that that is a 5-window flatbed Ford.

    2. Not a ford, but chevy or gmc, 1948 to 1954. Gm was the only company to offer 5 window cabs, but not until later model years.

  7. Every time I see your Friday Open Road series I hear the Ozark Mountain Daredevils singing "Back Roads",

    1. Ozark Mountain Daredevils - try Chicken Train or If you Want to get to Heaven.

    2. I have all 5 albums they did plus the live one. Chicken Train is a great song. YouTube has a show they did in England, The Old Gray Whistle Something or other. They do Chicken Train on it. Another good one is Tidal Wave.

  8. I counted twelve 180 degree hairpin bends in the 13th picture. Throttle- brake, throttle - brake, throttle - brake! What a drive.

    1. Only if you are going up hill, otherwise it is downshift, brake, brake hard, brake, brake hard, pull over and wait for the brakes to cool.

  12. That reflection is a Honda Mini trail. 70cc of fun. I'd almost forgotten the summer I spent on one of those as a yoot.

  13. Where is #15? I want to put that on my bucket list. Unless it's the kind of place where you have to bribe every Tom, Dick and Harry to avoid getting arrested.
