Motorcykel-elegance fra fortiden

I starten af forrige århundrede var Henderson var en af Amerikas tre store motorcykelfabrikanter (de to andre var harley Davidson og Indian). Fabrikken gik neden om og hjem i 1931, men i storhedstiden var den kendt for verdens kraftigste og hurtigste motorcykler – foretrukket af det amerikanske politi fordi intet kunne kører fra dem.

I 1930erne var den rene og dekorative Art Deco stil stadig højeste mode og custombyggeren O. Ray Courtney omdannede derfor sin Henderson KJ til en strømlignet Art Deco drøm, hvor hele maskineriet var fuldstændigt gemt under de svungne skærme.

Den smækre Henderson havde offentlig repremiere på Rhinebeck Grand National Meet i sidste måned og tiltrak sig naturligvis al opmærksomheden. Den ejes og køres af samleren Frank Westfall, der ikke umiddelbart har oplyst hvordan den endte i hans samling – lækker er den nu alligevel.

En 1930 Henderson KJ som den så ud fra fabrikken - heller ikke ringe

Musik til en stille søndag morgen….i helvede!

Her amazing wall of hair is what keeps the world safe

A contender appears...

Get back in the kitchen Wendy!

Wagner never knew what hit him...

With this LP around you'll need it!

And we danced and we dancer, then punked, then danced again

Then we just puked..

Lets all beat the Clark sisters

Jesus dig cars and singing and kittens and rainbows

Was he not just in the car?

Guess who just moved in next door..The Freakoids

Nothing signals good music like satin suits - rock on!

Would you like to see me polish my organ?

Go do it somewhere else please

Bring on the barrel, bring on the barrel of laughs

Oh Lord deliver us from the organ and its temptations

Guess what i just started hatin'?

In the future all music will be this great!

Finally they combined organ and skating - pure bliss!

For reading about skating i hope..

Chicks totally dig accordions, totally!

For a truely excellent party nothing beats Islandic singing

Lets all dance like absolute freaks!

Only the very best - two albums, not a double album, but two albums

The guy on the left will kill them all in their sleep...

Look at my hair, just look at it!

I completely understand the power stance and the mask

Right in the gap! - is that even legal?
