I wonder if he made that. It does not look like he is going to.

I was wondering myself. Probably where the dent in my roof came from........

It's weird how that piece of plywood is in the roof in the second picture but not the first. I am glad he made it. I woulden't wave wanted either of those trucks to get hurt;)

I found it telling that the flyer had the statement "See the longest ramp to ramp jump attempted by any stuntman ALIVE today". Key word in the sentence is ALIVE, could have been replaced by INSANE ;)

Crazy long jump at the time. I'm pretty sure I saw a guy in a wheelchair do a jump about ten times that a few years back. It's all about what we THINK is possible. So funny, we people.

That's back while he was still riding a Norton, before he switched to HD. I have an ironhead sporty in my shop right now, I couldn't imagine jumping a curb let alone the things he jumped with it.

About 1985. This is the '66 K10 show truck my father built, photographed in the hay medow next to my grandparents old house. I have vivid memories riding shotgun in this truck while he rowed through the gears and bouncing on the brown bench seat. He sold it around 1990 because he got tired off flattening the tires to get it in a garage. I'd love to know what happened to that truck.

Thanks for sharing! :chevy:

You are welcome!

I did dig up another picture of the same truck posted above. This one is taken a little earlier in time as it is pictured in the paint shops parking lot. My father is peering into the engine bay.

Just the Tailend of one......

In 1968, Harahan was the scene of a colorful display of patriotism called Loyalty Day. It included a parade, complete with floats, bands, servicemen, Scouts, and even a likeness of Uncle Sam. The parade, sponsored by the Harahan Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3267, was the result of a gubernatorial proclamation designating May 3 Loyalty Day in Harahan.
