batcycle.jpgWe went to the wireless dealer in town today to transfer our cellphones to this area. After finishing the transactions inside, we headed back to the SUV and saw this motorcycle parked outside. The decals on the bike were reminiscent of the surrealistic 1966 TV series, Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward.

I spoke to the owner of this unusual ‘conversation piece’ and he told me that it is a 1972 Honda, formerly owned by the California Highway Patrol in Fresno, CA. This guy acquired the bike way back when the CHP first retired it and put on the Batman decals. He has been getting looks and comments on it since. He claims to ride it back to visit his Mom in Fresno periodically. He was just another friendly guy in our new, friendly town.

I wonder if when it backfires it goes BAM or POW.
