So far I’ve covered three vintage auctions, a vintage show and now, possibly, the Antique Motorcycle Club of America annual swap meet on the fairgrounds at Dixon, California. Yeah, I love the old bikes so it’s off to Dixon to see what kind of weirdness is happening there. As you can see there were both some great old bikes and some great old, but cool people. This...

         Some people leave the property to tour the area, go to town, or just to get some fresh unscented air. The cops are waiting just off of property for those who think they can get away with driving infractions. Be warned, they’re experts at spotting infractions of the vehicle code.       Anyway, there is no need to leave the property until Sunday after sunrise as all...

        Garberville is about 12-miles north of the run site with the usual amenities associated with small town America. There are a couple of bars, restaurants, a grocery store and a few motels. No signs indicating the agricultural endeavors surrounding it. Thanks to Danielle and Gary, my credentials and VIP parking were taken care of and I was good to go.      The traditional...

      I have been taking these photos for quite a few years now and Myrtle Beach Bike Week has always been one of my favorite places to shoot pictures. I am always impressed by how friendly the girls are and not full of themselves.            It can be a hard, dangerous job asking a pretty lady for a picture when her Brutus steroidal boyfriend is standing next to her. I usually...

            The crowds at in Murrells Inlet and Garden City as well as North Myrtle Beach were the largest seen in many years. Venues such as Suck Bang Blow, The Beaver Bar, Barefoot Landing and Spokes and Bones saw record crowds and bikes from all over the country enjoying the great atmosphere that can only be found with like-minded individuals doing what they enjoy most.

            This year the rally started a week earlier than usual giving the area a break between the Harley rally and the AtlanticBeach rally. That didn’t affect the crowds in any way as you can see in most of the photos that were taken on Tuesday. The rally typically doesn’t start gaining momentum until the end of the week and this year was no exception. By Thursday, the crowds...

     Over 250 motorcycles were on display by collectors, builders, and developers. Being the 40th anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing, there was a display of the bike that popularized, for better or for worse, the modern water-cooled motorcycle revolution. The first actual modern water-cooled production motorcycle was Suzuki’s two-stroke triple GT 750, known affectionately as the...

    It’s only the 25th anniversary of Dream Machines if anniversaries are important in your decision whether to attend an event or not. It’s not in mine as I’m more concerned about the content, location and ambiance rather than a mythical celebratory number. Too many people go to over-hyped, over-crowded, and over-priced events based on some mythical digit or two...

      The music was local and better than most. It was a hot day by my standards, but cool by Phoenix standards. As a point of info, the locals don’t call it hot unless it’s over 115-degrees in the shade.     There was a squad of Phoenix cops under the command of a sergeant along with in-house security keeping their eyes open for what I don’t know. Of course, the...

     The Hideaway Grill had the crowd but Mark Bradshaw’s other joint, the Cave Creek Tap Haus had the big wheel bike show with lots of builders and vendors and a sizable crowd. How crowded? Two lanes of Cave Creek’s four lanes were turned into bike parking. The Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse (no connection to the Sturgis campground with a similar name) and the...
