Just got back from San Francisco. While there I cam across a pub called Eddie Rickenbacker’s in the SOMA district, near the umbra of the Bay bridge. The food is good, there’s a decent beer selection and they carry Cazadores Tequila (the best). However, the real attraction is the bikes including a Moto Guzzi, Excelsior, Henderson, Ariel and New Imperial. There’s also a 1941 Indian, 1918 Reading, 1938 Nimbus, lamps, trains, a cat and the proprietor Henry Africa. This place is definitely worth a visit.

The photos in the blog post were pulled from various sources-my camera battery went dead that day.

Just got back from a week in NYC. It’s not exactly a car/hot rod market but here’s a few shots taken with my iPhone while walking the streets.

On a recent drive to Gulf Shores I came across an amazing place on the Opp Hwy. Jackson’s Country Store has a vast collection of vintage signs, gas pumps, oil cans, advertising and memorabilia. I bought a Polly Gas Tacker which I hung on my garage as soon as I got home. Unfortunately Jackson’s doesn’t have a web site but here’s a few photos.

Four-time rally champ Richard Rawlings will be hauling ass from coast-to-coast in the Gumball 3000. He’ll be driving a 1975 Chevrolet Caprice 2008 Cadillac Escalade 6.0ltr Motor and trans. And he’ll be Keeping Fast Company with Trim. We’ve sponsored his car and dressed him up – real proper. Stay out of jail Richard.

Richard Rawlings heads out for the Gumball 3000 wearing TRIM.

And here’s a link to Richard competing in Bullrun 2008 when he din’t quite pull it off. Looks like fun.

INK-N-IRON is a Tattoo and Kustom Culture Festival in Long Beach, California. June 5th-7th. There will be 280 tattoo artists, cars, bikes, pin-up girls, amazing art, music, some cool vendors and a tatted-out, 5-year-old with pigtails. Hope to see you there.

A Texas-Sized Weekend of Loud Pipes, Lead Sleds, Live Music and more…
“What started out as a small gathering on an old football field of like-minded gearheads, artists and musicians who love traditionally-styled Hot Rods and Kustoms, has grown into annual Austin Tradition.

TRIM will have a booth at the show and our good friend Marty Stillwell will be running it.

Here’s a few photos I shot at last years event.
