It’s 5/14/16 a Saturday morning and I can’t get started to the Quail Lodge Motorcycle Event with a broken headlamp. I get lucky and find that Gilroy Motorcycle has one in stock. Sooo off I go to Gilroy for a short detour…Oh, and they’re next to a great coffee shop. Thank you Steve and Hilary

  It was an unmatched show the past weekend in Lignano Sabbiadoro.

             I’ll bet a lot of ya remember last year around this time when the picture of the big Hells Angel paying for toys at Walmart went viral, with millions of views world wide. That Hells Angel is Merl Hefferman, and the 17th annual Fresno County Hells Angels toy run

It was hot in New York. And the wool Pendleton board shirts and a heavy jacket were overkill for the 60 degree December weather. It was even hotter in the Javits Convention Center because it was packed wall-to-wall with enthusiasts.  Jeff Holt from Hot Bike Magazine and Street Chopper Magazine awarded the Editor’s Choice awards

  After a week of doubtful weather the day of Harry’s Bike Show dawned clear and bright, just what the doctor ordered or in this case Harry. Gates were due to be flung open at 9 am but some guys just couldn’t wait. With the Vietnam Veterans & Veterans MC manning the gate at The

  This past Sunday, the phone rang and it was my friend Shannon Sweeney of SS Classics, a restorer/builder of righteous vintage Hondas, and I was thinking it was about the new project bike, a rare Red Dragon, but it wasn’t. He was about to leave his house in Alhambra to ride over to Deus

The 7th Annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering was on May 16th Armed Forces Day May 16th, new day and oops…gotta get a new tire. Lucky for me Gilroy Motorcycle’s owner Steve Schaub was able to replace the rear tire on my Raider and send me on my way to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel Valley.
