Hey, Hang on, Choppers are back! I get such a kick out of this industry and folks who attempt to make a mountain out of a mole hill, especially today. Today shit changes in the blink of an eye. You virtually can’t say anything for certain. Of course, that makes it damn tough on marketing

Richard will be sorely missed for months into years

Launching its first motorcycle in 1904, the Feilbach enterprise would eventually knock heads, SOHC or otherwise, with another Milwaukee upstart company, Harley-Davidson, although it seemed Feilbach had the upper hand with a better motorcycle. Arthur Otto Feilbach and his brother William tinkered together their first machine within their small home garage. This was
