Subject: [Land-speed] Bud Ekins passing
Sorry to hear of Bud Ekins death. I met Bud while racing a Triumph in So Cal
in the mid sixties. I bought parts from his Sherman Oaks Triumph shop, and
later a vintage bike from his collection. He was a great desert racer. Later,
he did stunt work and also rented vintage m/c's to the studios. After he gave
up the Triumph dealership, he spent most of his time restoring bikes. He had a
big quonset in No. Hollywood full of bikes on multilayered racks. He told
there were about 300. BTW, Bud and his friend, Kenny Howard, aka as Von Dutch
would usually restore one at a time. Typically, 2 to 3 weeks.
