Thunderbird Club

buy or bring or both? Too many B's...I'm a chemical engineer. I'll just screw up the electrons.

Not this...

I'm sure those bikes are a lot cooler in my memory than they were in reality. They probably just had longer forks, without any rake.

Monkey bars

My bird brethren, I would like to take a informal pole. How many of you would be interested in a Overend Watts signature Thunderbird II? Imho a Epiphone 60s Thunderbird would make the perfect starting point and from a manufacturing standpoint a very easy process aside from getting Pete's estate on board.
Please keep it to yes or no, not I'd rather see so and so get a signature bass as I hope to use this to make my case with my friends at Gibson.

Yes a white II would be cool!

I can't find the tubes on my 50w crate amp

Keep spraying.

My playing could use wart removal...

Possibly one of the most bizarre movies I’ve ever seen, so left field it’ll probably be a cult classic someday….

o...k... where is it midnight-showing/screening?

This is my general fav that I keep coming back to. There are a few local blends that are really good, but I have this several times a week. I believe Ken likes one or more of Peet's offerings.

I'm a dedicated Peet's person. MD's (Costco) & French Roast (at Peet's) are my daily cup-o-joe's. The have my favorite scones at their coffee-houses.

The star-spangled custom Harley-Davidson from 60's classic 'Easy Rider' sold in auction for $1.35 million, which is the highest price ever paid for a cycle according to Hemmings. The chopper was named "Captain America" after Peter Fonda's character in the 1969 flick. A favorite Movie of mine.

Yes a white II would be cool!

The only Tbird I don't have that would tempt me.

My daughter had a layover in Orlando before Christmas. She was astonished when she saw the price of gas there. It was around $3.00 a gallon compared to around $5.00 in SoCal. The Florida based crew she was with just laughed at her.

Yah, I love hearing about people complaining about $3.00 gal gas... snowflakes.

I read about that bike - apparently two (or maybe three?) were made and one was stollen.

I keep poking this with a screwdriver, is this it?

yeah….

 

[SubHuman]

Hmm...I better read the manual. Not sure if this is normal!

 

[ectoflanger]

Sorry, I jumped on them, I have a thing for white knobs on white basses, no ahem(s) necessary!

I love white basses and guitars and various white stuff on them-

Hmm, how much do you think all those nice matched tubes I have in the Music Man, 200S, and B-15NC are worth...more than I paid for the amps.

probably....

My 15min's of 'sports-model' fame. ('84 - 40 yrs ago!) Shot in Miami on a boulevard there. I also did the illustrations. At the time I worked for the Chicago design firm who did the Trek ad account for that year. I volunteered to be the Trek rider for a 'demo' ad-pic we shot in Chicago that helped get them the account and Trek ended up choosing me over local Florida pro-models. (as in, the two guys behind me) The guy with glasses at the back was a Chicago cyclist who did the ad copy for the account. It was a two-page ad in Bicycling magazine.

 

[JIO]

yeah….

And youse guys love CA so much.

Well…born and raised. Family here goes back 110 years. Very hard to leave. There is so much to love about it. Admittedly, there are issues too. My wife and I decided about fifteen years ago that we’re in it to the end. So we’re not leaving for Scotland or Ireland, which is where we would go. We have a house at 6,000 feet (it snowed last night), yet I can be at the beach in less than two hours. I love fly fishing for trout and I can do that driving less than an hour. The Dodgers are here and a trip to the stadium is usually less than two hours, depending on traffic. We’re pretty frugal, save our money, don’t go out to eat much and have a nice life in one of the most diverse and beautiful states in America.

And heck. SSPU’s are here. I get to see Nikki next Thursday night!
