Just some photos I have taken during my travels this week on the road and the interwebs
Out back of my Office in Barberton, Ohio
This weekend I am taking the kid to watch vintage road racing at Mid-Ohio Race Course….should be a great time!
What I thought we were REALLY doing this weekend….watching Super Bikes…but I had the schedule mixed up
This is at Lego Land in Orlando, a co-worker took his grandson there….he knew I would appreciate this feat of engineering
The Vespa Super 150 that I am working on for a friend is almost complete…..not my favorite vehicle to work on…..
Finally, something I am looking forward to when we do have super bikes at Mid-Ohio….the XR1200 series races….weekend of July 16th(?)….be there or be square!
Have you seen the episode of Jay Leno’s Garage with Magnus Walker??? If not….here you go…I think anyone can appreciate the quality of his builds…even if you don’t like Porsches (how can you not like Porsches???)
The New Wave of Custom Motorcycles
With all of the industry news that I subscribe to, Motorcycle & Powersports News (or MPN) is one that I fancy…..sometimes skimming it for new gear and stories on what is really current in the world of dealerships and service centers. They send out a weekly (or so) newsletter and I was shocked to find an article about one of my passions – Garage Built Bikes. Most of the article focuses on Classified Moto, a shop in VA. that was spawned when a moonlighting bike builder was layed off from his job and in turn was given the opportunity to build a bike for a friend…..that bike turned into many more and some really great Etsy lamps also! Give the article a read and subscribe to their newsletter, I wont post the whole article here……..that’s plagiarism….isn’t it…of sorts at least. What do you guys think about some of the newer minimalist builders out there?
