Greaswood Flats - yum! Been ages since I've been there...

There was a customizer in SoCal that did a flathead Ford loop Guzzi a
while back - in the world of righteous bikes, this fusion of the classic
rap-rap of a flathead V8 and the dense mechanical feel of a loop-framed
Guzzi is very close to cycle nirvana, IMHO.

Wonder how a Guzzi handles with 600# of cast iron betwixt the frame
rails...

Hi all,

Well, it's time for Arizona Bike Week, and there is tons of stuff
happening here. Sunday, I rode out to the small town of CaveCreek to see

what's happening. Typical H-D stuff, bikini bke wash, wet t-shirt
contest, custom bike show, etc..

So, I'm hanging around, watching the girls wash the bikes and stuff, and

I happen to be standing next to a Boss Hoss. You know, the utlimate
SPCV. Chevy 350 V8 powered road burner.

So , I'm looking at the frame, and whadda ya know? It's a loop frame!
Yup, right behind the seat, is a big ol' loop to hold up the massive
rear fender.

I had to laugh!
