It’s shockingly easy for a once-major road to go forgotten, as we see from a Los Angeles Times article this week about California’s Ridge Route Road, supplanted by Highway 99 and later Interstate 5 and in recent years more or less decommissioned.

* What happens when you add a 155-cu.in. V-Twin to a Vespa? As we can see from Engine Swap Depot’s article on the bike, 15 pounds of fun in a five-pound sack.
* In three months, students in Ed Barr’s metalshaping classes at McPherson College pounded out a mostly complete replica of the Thompson-Glasscock Special, as The Old Motor reported this week.
