Hey, Life is strange, and just gets more bizarre daily. Last night I watched a panel of city mayors discuss issues in their cities. One young woman, who has spent three terms as the major of her town, mentioned something critical. She said, and I’m not sure I’ll get it straight, but the notion

Okay, we gotta admit it’s a tiny bit macabre to find a stellar group of antique, vintage and high performance motorcycles on display at a cemetery, literally the last place a bike fan wants to visit.

Hey, I don’t know what to make of this, but I’m trying. More importantly how will any of this effect motorcycling in the future?

It doesn’t make any sense, but what does except cool custom bikes and hot women? It’s all a dichotomy.

Marko opened the Cantina on a bright sunny day. The morning sun bounced off the harbor and burned off the cool morning dew.
