Burpee's Harley Davidson 1999 Road King Hot Pepper Bike. Flames literally shoot out the tailpipes of this bike..
It was created by Tramontin Motorcycles, Inc in Hope, NJ back in 1999 to celebrate the launch of Burpee's Biker Billy Hot Pepper, which in turn is named after Biker Billy, the vegetarian biker who cooks with fire.
Two propane tanks and an ignition system (along with a fire extinguisher!) are nestled within the bike's saddle bags, providing dual three-foot flames which shoot out of the exhaust pipes. A custom built electrical system makes sure that the flames are under control at all times.
The bike was painted by Peter Maier using DuPont's ChromaLusion Burnt Fire Prism paint. The color changes from deep reds to browns to purples and gold as one moves around the bike.
The gold leaf logo was applied by Robert Cosgrove based on a Burpee catalog from 1892.
This weekend, I planted some seeds in small pots. I hope to transplant them outdoors, once the danger of frost has passed.
Mrs. Yake was kind enough to let us share her letter with you.
March 12, 1999
Sirs:
When going through family records after my sister's death (from cancer) last October, I found this old photo of June and me standing by our country mailbox in January 1936; I am holding the newly arrived Burpee catalogue. The photo was taken by our father; June was 4 and a half years old and I was 7 and a half. We lived near West Lafayette, Indiana, and always had a large vegetable garden every summer.
Ironically, when my new 1999 Burpee catalogue arrived at my home here in Connorsville on January 4th, we had just had a big snow storm. I couldn't resist having my husband take my photo, holding the new catalogue, by our mailbox. It's 63 years later, but I still use and prefer Burpee seeds! My vegetable garden is much smaller now since there are just two of us, and I continue my father's tradition of growing hundreds of daffodils along a fence-row for us and passers-by to enjoy every spring.
Thank you for all the years of dependable products and fine service.
Sincerely,
Julia Frost Yake

These are stereographic (3D) images in 'cross-view' format.
To see them in stereo you point your nose at the line dividing the two images, then slowly cross your eyes.
When you see them fuse together in the middle as a third image you'll be seeing it in stereo!

Paleo Bodybuilder - Result of Bodybuilding on the Paleolithic "Caveman Diet"
Cavemen lived in caves so they were naturally very pale and sickly looking. Cavemen didn't lift weights or build anything with stone blocks (otherwise we'd see it standing today). Grok the caveman would be tiny, pale, and thin in the hot regions from running after wild animals to try and hunt them (think of your image of the 'muscles' of a marathon endurance distance cross-country runner, small) and Grock the caveman wouldn't be bulky otherwise he'd move too slow.
No, Grok the Caveman also had to be limber to run AWAY from wild carnivorous animals that smell him (Remember Paleo Diet doesn't believe in showers -- Cavemen didn't have them!).
You must do like Grok the Caveman did, and eat what Cavemen ate. This may be why crossfit classes have what's known as a 'puke bucket' in crossfit fitness gyms, because after eating paleo, and after the slightest exercise such as only 'burpees' you want to throw up. This is because the Paleo meat diet tastes so bad and wants to come back up.
Remember there are no showers after crossfit either, you do like the caveman, and cavemen didn't have showers. No soap. The crossfit underarm bacteria smell would be part of 'going paleo' and never showering, even before work.
Meat from the Paleo Diet sits in your stomach and provide no energy to burn prior to your crossfit workout, unlike light carbs and grains which provide lots of cardio conditioning and energy for muscles and endurance, so this is why crossfitters frequently vomit up pieces of the Paleo Diet and then lay on the floor in exhaustion after a crossfit workout which is known as very 'light' (a pushup, some burpees) compared to a bodybuilder or a weightlifter who lifts big iron.

How To Do Bodybuilding using Crossfit and the Paleolithic Diet.
STEP 1: Join Cross-Fit and do little "fitness" exercises like "Burpees" and jumping around, which don't build muscle.
STEP 2: Become duped into falling for the now debunked "Paleo Diet" which is high-fat and high-meat which makes your bones weak and depletes carb energy so your body then has to burn protein to get enough fuel to operate, which then teaches your body to essentially Eat its own muscle, making your muscle mass dwindle away.
STEP 3: Buy and go around wearing an inflatable plastic muscle costume suit.
