"A Small Package Of Value Will Come To You, Shortly"

If you don't know the title reference, it's a track from Jefferson Airplane's '67 album After Bathing At Baxters, with the album's incredibly detailed cover artwork rendered by R. Cobb. Most noted for his underground art and political cartoons for The L.A. Free Press in the '60's, Cobb at the age of 18, and with no formal art training, worked his way up to breakdown artist for Disney's 1957 animated feature film Sleeping Beauty, and later went on to do the conceptual designing for Last Starfighter, Star Wars, Conan The Barbarian, and True Lies, to name just a few of his prolific artwork projects for the major studios in the '80's.

Anyways, the "small package of value" that will "come ...shortly" are the springer parts that Fat Bob and Slippery Pete rounded up for me, that will eventually find their way into the front end assembly for my Invited Builders bike for Born Free III. Timing couldn't be more perfect, as I had just dropped off my radius rods yesterday at A-1 Stripping to get the rust scale on their insides removed, and stripped of their 82 year old chassis black paint. Thanks, guys, I'm most appreciative!

After BF III, the bike is also going up to Sturgis, to be part of the 2011 Michael Lichter/Jeff Decker exhibit, at the Lichter Exhibit Hall at the Buffalo Chip Campground. I'm stoked.
