It’s not about shiny chrome, fancy paint jobs, or expensive customs. It’s all about whatever you can put together with two wheels, a motor, and a full tank of gas. Whether it started out as a Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, BSA, Triumph, etc., these garage-built old timers are a testament to the dedication and ingenuity put into giving these bikes another chance to tear up the...

            The event was advertised as “5 Days+1,000 Miles=1,000,000 Stories” and with absolutely perfect weather along with some of the greatest motorcycle roads in the country, everyone would remember this event for a long time.              The event started on Wednesday, the 7th of September, in Asheville, North Carolina, a go-to destination at any time of the year. That was a...

            This was not a huge spectator event as it was geared as a motorcycle tour of the Great Smoky Mountains. That doesn’t mean it was boring at all if you were looking for a good time besides riding your Harley-Davidson in gorgeous surroundings. There were bands and vendors at the great venues to pass the time when you were not cruising the mountain roads. I’m sure the...

            The museum is known as the “The Museum that Runs” because all the bikes in the museum start up and if you don’t believe me, just ask Dale or one of his crew to start one up. That will result in a large smile and a lot of noise.             The museum contains over 350 rare American-made motorcycles and more memorabilia that you can browse in one day. There is also a...

            It amazes me that after all these years the ladies treat me with the same respect that I treat them. I shouldn’t be surprised because they are at the rallies to have a good time and let loose just like the rest of us. And, in some cases, make a little extra cash bartending.             I thank you, my fellow bikers thank you and so do the beer distributors. You make...

Ever since his unfortunate passing almost ten years ago, people have been making Indian Larry tribute bikes, some are good, some just okay, and some have been simply terrible. Luckily there’s still an option of getting the real thing or as absolutely close to the real thing as humanly possible. Bobby and Elisa Seeger, two of the finest people you’ll ever meet, worked alongside...

   Actually, this was a repeat of last year and the same question, but I never take anything for granted especially after going to two out three events last year. Flat track racing was a must-see this year, but what I was really interested in was the 2016 Handbuilt Motorcycle Show put on by one of Austin’s own, Revival Cycles. This show which takes place in a giant Quonset-hut of a...

     When the condo-Nazis tried to eliminate Myrtle Beach Bike Week back in 2008, it almost destroyed one of the oldest and most popular bike rallies in the country (By the way this is the 78th  anniversary of Myrtle Beach Bike Week so it’s no Johnny-come-lately. Daytona just celebrated its 75th anniversary –ed.) . Many were angry and rightfully so. What the condo-Nazis didn’t...
