Why is it people can look cool sitting on a motorcycle, even from 1900 with a cap and tie? And check out the last guys Darth Vader gloves with the heavy duty gantlet.

Wow, that "trophy" makes the "Christmas Story" leg-lamp look tasteful and sophisticated by comparison!

Love the motorcycle photos Craig, thanks for posting. As for the Stuffed Girls Heads, I could make several uncharitable comments about ex-girlfriends, but this is a public forum. One thing for certain, $2.98 doesn't go nearly as far as it used to...

It appears the first four MC photos are from England as the sidecars are on the "wrong" side.   Nice photos though.

I found a site that has a lot of great, historical photos of mines in Nevada. Here's one from the town of Rawhide. Note how the little hotel is surrounded by mines:



Here are two shots of the Mohawk Mine in Goldfield, NV. The trains are the Tonopah Goldfield RR:





Here's a shot of two steam-powered "Keystone Driller" rigs in action at the big copper mine near Ely, NV:

Ever see a golden locomotive?



This loco was painted with temporary gold paint for a centennial excursion in 1964.
