    Thanks for including this. It's good to leaven the moto porn with something earthy from time to time.

    As an ex-house husband I can relate to this. The Selvedge Yard did an excellent Dorothea Lange story in June '09.

    Two things.

    1. Part of the packaging used to make the shack is a brand called Triton.
    2. What the holy heck has he got on his feet? Cuban-heeled tennis shoes?

    ... and no one in the pic seems at all fazed that some poor bloke has clearly clipped the back of that car, probably on an underbraked Flathead, and stuffed himself through the shack wall.
