SO what happened to the bike???



A picture after my ride last night, the first of the year. It was quite exciting tearing up the single track then coming around a corner and finding solid ice for a good 15 feet.

Casey C. - My favorite album of yours is “Sweet Revenge”. On the cover you’re sprawled out in that car…

John Prine: That was the first thing I bought me. I got some record company money so I went and bought myself a ‘59 Porsche convertible.

http://thecollegecrowddigsme.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-john-prine.html

There's a slightly more revealing shot of the car on the back of the album... it's just shot from the other side behind Prine, but you can see the windshield frame, sideview mirror, and top of the door... it looks like it is a chocolate brown. I have the LP.

That's a very cool story! Wonder what ever happened to it...

Ferrari crash site in Newport Beach- very sad.

Nothing major, its time had just come. I beat the hell out of that poor frame over the last year in ways it was never meant to see. Its no surprise that Leader USA doesn't sell that frame anymore. Heres what Im replacing it with, a bike I've wanted for 2 years:
