Same shot in Ballarat, Today

I’m riding out there saturday night If I can pull it off to go see what it looks like, take some new pictures and get me a 3 part ride in.

This is the part of the movie before the credits.   This house in 1969 was where Wyatt rolled up the dollar bills, put them in a plastic tube in his gas tank, and put a cork in them.    It’s also where both Billy and Wyatt threw there watches on the road.

Here’s some more scenes from the house, sent to me by a friend who made a film about the movie, on replica panheads like the bikes in the movie.   This was Shorty’s house, from the film, and what it looks like today.

I’m heading out to ballarat.   Call it a tune up ride.  I need me a tune up.    It’s gonna be good.
