I saw this trike today and was really impressed with the build quality. The owner said that he built and designed the entire trike himself. It is powered by a twin-turbo V-8. The two turbos are the things on each side of the engine. The black pipes are the exhaust exiting from the turbo chargers. He claims that the trike produces over 500 hp at the rear wheel on a dyno. The "wing" at the very back of the trike is its radiator. When I asked him how he managed to get it registered at the DMV he said that he lived in California for 44 years before relocating to Arizona, where he had no problem getting it registered. You just never know what you will see next at Alice's Restaurant.

Is that THE Alice's Restaurant i.e. Arlo Guthrie? |

Looks like the Shelby Cobra club was also at Alice's. I usually see anywhere from 3-10 of their members up there. |

I am pretty sure that it is not the restaurant of the song. I believe that this restaurant was named after the song became popular. I think the Alice's Restaurant that the song was about and was featured in the movie was located back east, not in the Santa Cruz Mountains, located on the San Francisco Peninsula. (Assuming that the song was based upon an actual restaurant of that name.) However, I have also heard that a group of singers hung out at a restaurant in La Honda during the late 1960's, located on Highway 84, about 10 miles west of Sky Londa, where this Alice's Restaurant is located. Unfortunately that restaurant is currently closed, but it does have a mural on the wall depicting the singers. I and my friends used to eat breakfast there occasionally during the 1990's and early 2000's, but most of the time we hung out at Alice's. I still have photos of the restaurant and the motorcycle scene that date back to 1973.

Thank you Richard. As you say, it could be that the original existed in movie speak only. |

Today I saw a really clean Ducati 2010 (I think) GT1000 today and an Aprilia RSV V60 parked next to it. And a Royal Enfield Himalayan with an Senior-friendly accessory clock. Also attached are photos of some very nice Bathtub Porches. Since it was a beautiful morning today, it was likely a good time to drive a bathtub.

Winter is over, spring has arrived, the sun is out, the weather is dry and warm and the fair weather motorcycle and car owners are finally returning to Alice's Restaurant including Porsches and Ferraris. Meanwhile the bathrooms have been replaced by Port-a-Pots. Attached are some photos that I took yesterday. Perhaps you can tell me what this strange motorcycle is supposed to be. Note the see-through fuel tank and air cleaner housing.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14 The two porta-potties that are on the raised platform do say they are for "woman only". Whatever happened to the California one size fits all bathrooms? Regarding the question about washing hands is a good question. One that I hadn't thought of before. It appears that the ugly motorcycle that I saw this weekend at Alice's is a Confederate. Probably a P-51 model in basic black instead of chrome. It is interesting that the bike had no brand or model name on the frame. Possibly the name was removed to be politically correct in the Bay Area. https://www.confederate.com/showroom Prices start at $65K and go up from there, likely depending upon how much chrome you want to pay for.
