News about Peter Fonda

On January 28, 1998, a rare 1908 Harley-Davidson (pictured left) became the most expensive motorcycle ever sold at auction in Las Vegas. After paying auction fees at the Mecum Auction, the Strap Tank motorcycle was auctioned for $935,000, and the first Harley-Davidson model one will ever find, since the prototypes that preceded it are long gone.' The 115-year-old Strap Tank motorcycle, named after its oil and fuel tanks, which are attached to the frame with nickel straps, is believed to be one of only 12 models still available. Harley-Davidson began manufacturing motorcycles in 1905 in a tiny wooden shed, then moved to a factory in 1906 and steadily increasing production to 450 motorcycles in 1908.

After appearing in a number of critically acclaimed films, including Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown and hit comedy film Singles, the former Hollywood starlet, 58, retired from acting in 2002. The actress was photographed in January for the first time in a dozen years, and now, she was photographed again during a rare LA outing wearing nearly identical clothing. Fonda wore comfortably in a pair of dark trousers and a black and white striped T-shirt as she did some shopping at a landscaping supply store, a drastic departure from her once glamorous image. Fonda was photographed earlier this year wearing the same top and similar pants when doing errands with her and husband Danny Elfman's 17-year-old son Oliver. The actress hadn't been photographed since 2009, over a decade ago, when she attended Tarantino's World War II film Inglorious Bastards' premiere. Fonda made her name for herself in the acting world in the 1980s and 1990s after snagging main roles in a number of box office hits, but she moved away from the spotlight to concentrate on her family in 2002.
