FLEA MARKET TREASURE

a week ago, i was lookin for some cool stuff at a local fleamarket when i got attracted by a leather racing pant in a booth. what i finally got was way way way better than a vintage race pant. i started to talk with the guy about leathers, then motorcycle, he finally told me that Flat Track was his life, he was racing the nationals in expert. Mike had to give up on his sweet dreams just few weeks before passing pro, due to a bad crash on the oval. Broken pelvis in 4 pieces and some seriously hard pain. "oh yeah u were racing shorttracks in the 70's ! is there a chance u have some photos from the glory past ?" "oh yes i got copies..." wow, i almost collapsed. the photos were very powerfull, and the guy Mike show some serious agressive riding style. i couldn't stop watchin every details on the copies. Mike was proud of that and he sure can, cuz it seems to me that this guy was rulin back in the 70's. He made  my day. check out those amazing old photos, thanks to Mike Parr for sharing.

CHEVY CHASE

i've never noticed Palm Springs also has a walk of fame. but my eyes got attracted by a name as i was walkin down the strip the other day : Chevy Chase. i could 've picked Ol' Blue Eyes Sinatra that i'm sure feat also on the sidewalk, but Chevy Chase is the man. when i was about 10yo, my longtime buddy Francky Pierrepont was a VHS maniac in my hometown Chatou, and he had all the National Lampoon's Vacations episodes. u gotta know that in France almost nobody knows about those and i feel more than lucky being able to watch and re-watch those movies about the funny adventures of the Griswold family. i can still remember some early crushes caused by cougar Ellen Griswold (Beverly D'Angelo) and Sports Illustrated centerfold beachbabe Christie Brinkley known as "the girl in the red Ferrari". check em all...
