Dois-je aimer les motos de plus que les dames, ou vice versa? Cela dépend de la journée je suppose, mais aujourd’hui, je suis totalement en amour avec les belles dames de l’Expo concessionnaire Indianapolis et j’espère que vous l’êtes aussi. Heureusement pour nous alors que M. Cofano peut apporter le spectacle à un arrêt, avec une approche professionnelle et...

Here’s a quick cross section of what you’d find on a stroll through the show including Señor Jack’s favorite ride that’s conveniently also the lead photo. If there was a key and some gas in it, I think it would be back in his home state of North Carolina enjoying a life of liesure and high adventure that only a happily-retired guy like Jack can provide.

It’s very common that the world’s best events are short, fast events. The Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel Valley, California, starts at 10am and ends at 3pm as does the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach, California. Willie’s show starts at noon and is over at 4pm which fits right in with the best venues as far as the length of show. As show time approaches,...

This year there was a new addition that focused on American V-twins aptly called the American V-twin Dealer Show with the affable pair of V-twin aficionados, Bob Kay and Jeff Najar making sure the selection of bikes presented in a show format had something for everybody. You’ll be seeing more of those in the upcoming articles, but for now take a look at One-eyed Jack’s quick take...

Yeah, I said it was stupid and so did most of the media. How strange. We didn’t...

  The other thing I keep an eye out for is attendance and this year, despite the crappy rainy weekend and the fact that the NASCAR preview event was also going on at the Convention Center, attendance seemed to be right up there with previous years. This year along with a great selection of new bikes to peruse there were the custom cars that are now a staple at the show. Also on...

     Possibly the most positive general thing I can say about this whole debacle was that the bikes were a lot more interesting than last year so I guess that’s a good thing. But, the high drama, and there was more of it than on a whole season of American Chopper (yes, I watch that religiously too like any motorcycle-related TV show) was just a bit too much without really getting...

  And that was just the reason to head off to the lovely Larz Anderson museum in Brookline, Massachusetts for the wonderful lawn show of European motorcycles on their beautiful 64-acre compound. The show featured every brand of European motorcycle you know about and a hell of a lot of others you had no idea about. The designs, configurations, and colors were stunning and could...
