El Toro Cubano, Mysterious Black Rat Rod Tractor Trailer with Custom Harley Aboard — What’s the Story??

Written by Ken Altes

Two weeks ago, motoring into New York City to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter and extended family, I slowed down to get a better look, and pictures, of this impressive, custom, black (long wheelbase) tractor trailer. Cool as it was, it had a bonus: A custom motorcycle (Harley Davidson?) perched between the cab and the trailer.  On the back of the cab was a large graphic saying: El Toro Cubano, Aug. 3, 1923 – Mar. 31, 2015, and Size Does Matter II. What does it all mean? Also, notice the windshield visor is pushed almost to the glass, covering most of it. The custom motorcycle has number 69 on it and HARD on the gas tank. UPDATE: After I posted a note about it on Facebook, Chad Switzer identified it as an East Coast Large Cars truck (such a weird name). Chad explained that this Peterbuilt was modified perhaps as many as 15 years ago, and was named, ‘Awesome Pete — Project 350.’ — it has a 350″ wheelbase — and has been further modified since this youtube video was made.)el-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-full-view el-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-view-motorcycle el-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-detail el-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-motorcycle-harley el-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-windshield-visorel-toro-cubano-motorcycle-rat-rod-tractor-trailer-motorcycle-detail

  1. I was driving down I-95 S from Providence, RI to Orlando, FL with my daughter on Dec 27, 2016 and we came upon this rig just south of Newark. The custom Harley was aboard, but unlike the photos above, the trailer it was pulling that day was all black as well. We ran parallel for maybe 15-20 miles and I was similarly intrigued by the whole setup. It eventually exited at I-276 and we continued on our way down the Turnpike.

  12. Thanks for revealing your ideas with this blog. As well, a myth regarding the banks intentions whenever talking about foreclosures is that the traditional bank will not take my payments. There is a certain quantity of time which the bank can take payments every now and then. If you are as well deep within the hole, they will commonly require that you pay that payment entirely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. In the event you and the lender can have the ability to work anything out, a foreclosure practice may stop. However, in case you continue to skip payments under the new system, the property foreclosure process can just pick up from where it was left off.

  13. Interesting blog post. What I would like to make contributions about is that computer system memory has to be purchased if your computer can no longer cope with what you do along with it. One can set up two good old ram boards of 1GB each, for example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the car maker’s documentation for one’s PC to make sure what type of memory is necessary.

  14. Interesting post right here. One thing I would like to say is that often most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree just as the entry level standard for an online certification. Though Associate College diplomas are a great way to start out, completing your own Bachelors starts up many entrance doors to various professions, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online editions of their qualifications but normally for a substantially higher charge than the institutions that specialize in online education plans.

They will often taste very good, but packaged foods have got very little vitamins and minerals, making you feed on more to have enough energy to get with the day.
