Pair o' Indian winners

Ahh..don't they look cute!

Motor Maid, Cops and a Biker

I started with the LAPD, Motor Transport Division in June 1966. I worked as a civilian in the motorpool at Parker
Center. It wasn't named that as William Parker was still the Chief. I enjoyed seeing Jack Webb come by from time to time to visit with our Chief. A pretty exciting place to work for an 18 year old.

Well I remember a Motormaid that worked parking enforcement on a trike, who rode to work every day on a 1950's green panhead dresser. She parked at the end of a car parking area in the lower level. All who rode to work on civilian bikes were allowed to park there for free......... Well it was mid 1966 and I was watching all the
officers and employees intently. Lots of stuff to see. I remember seeing two 220 lb motor officers bitching to each other that they weren't going to get one of the new, electric start bikes..............And I remember that little 5 foot tall Motormaid, at the time in her late 40's. She finished her shift each day about 3 pm and kicked her
panhead to life with no problem or complaint. And I remember thinking that those two, big, officers were whining...............I hope they didn't do it in public. Not a pretty sight... I soon decided that trying for the academy, like my pop wanted me to...........was not in the cards... I didn't like the attitudes and macho BS.... Lots of cool cops, but lots of jerk cops. I liked the garage, the bikes and cars. I didn't much care for firearms..........or wrestling idiots into submission. At the time I weighed 160 lbs dripping wet.........

I always remember the red headed Motormaid and her green panhead. She seemed very cool for a lady old enough to be my mom.......

Cool story. Wish I knew who sent it to me. I thought I'd share it with all of you.

Motor Maids Party

George Cooper and his cut down

A little help.

This Motor Maid is sitting upon a cool bike, but I'm having problems telling what it is. I'm thinking it's a 1932 Triumph Panhead. Any thoughts?

Argyle's and urban decay

I'm guessing around 1956 or so based upon the Merc in the background. I've always loved that door trim!

Vallejos's 8 Ball M/C

More Motor Maid stuff. Nice vertical Indian.

That kid's tough. Future greaser for sure.

Bad ass little dude with his jacket and boots. Wonder if the Merc owner told him he could put his foot on the car. You don't lean on a Pharaoh's car! Two movies are quoted in this post. Anyone know what they are? By the way I love movie quotes.

Evelyn has been a great gal and shared her family pics with us all. It's folks like Evelyn that allow all this to continue.
