But we grapple with our own existence and wonder if we need to head in another direction. Folks ask me why I don’t […]

Hey, Life is nuts and so is the news. Get this, the Post office is about cooked. They need to downsize or they will be out of business. They just don’t compete anymore with e-mail, UPS, or Fedex. They can’t pay the 5.5 billion dollar payment to fund future retirees’ healthcare benefits. Seems Congress has

We were fortunate to stumble across two very rare Vintage Yale Motorcycles recently. One was a 1910 original paint single, one of three known to exist. The other is this sexy 1914 Yale twin. We decided after a heated debate to feature the ’14 because of its stylish art-deco appearance, detail and fit and finish.

Hey, This is an incredible news. It’s got a bit of everything and some truly bad jokes. We rolled over to the reduced LA Calendar Show yesterday. Only a handful of bikes in the competition, but still a wild assortment of highclass customs and bobbers. In many respects it’s sad to see this show falter.
