1951 Panhead, 10 Over, 1976 Miami

Some words from Caleb about this photo.
"No doubt that this bike started it all for me. My brother's Pan. I was only 10, but I thought this was the coolest thing on the planet, shit, I still do. I was there when it was pulled out of a truck in pieces, I was there when it rolled down the street for the first time. My older brothers were, and are, my heroes. They inspired me, or messed me up, depending on how you look at it, in so many ways. I could not wait till I was old enough to ride so I could ride along side my bros! We were working class folks growing up, a chopper, or anything with two wheels was HUGE for us. This was a big day for my bro, you can see it on his face. Best picture ever!"
Right on my man.

Road House.

Road. Swayzzz. Dalt.
Nuff Said.
This one is for you Sauder you sonofabitch.

24,669 Parts Are Go

I have been running a marvelous dual cam front brake from W&W Cycle on my panhead for sometime now. A few people have been trying to get more info on these bad boys without much luck due to the language barrier, getting hold of a catalog, shipping etc etc. However that will soon all be a thing of the past. W&W now have everyone of their 24,669 parts available online. Ok well not just yet, it goes live on December 1st. Wolfgang says "Parts, parts, and more parts for all vintages and all models for Harleys®: new, old, customs, baggers, dragsters, museum pieces and everything in between. From the tiniest bolt to complete engines everything down to the last washer will be living HERE" he's not wrong.

So.Cal Saturday.

Is It Just Me?

I think these mid to late 90's Eldorados look really cool.

What Is It?

About this city? I'm completely smitten with it. I can see why people write countless songs and make umpteen movies about the place. I heart New York.

Turns out, however, that Acclaim Subscriptions Canada is simply a phone and web link to a U.S. company.  The release was merely a marketing initiative by the Brooklyn, New York-based Acclaim Subscriptions."Joyce Redding of Toronto is pleasantly overwhelmed by the

Quote, unquote: Small web presence? How to make an advertiser take notice

"One of the most common things I hear particularly from magazines in Canada is "What do we do when we don't have traffic? We have a low circulation, a modest circulation, we can't compete with some of the big search engines, or we can't sell on CPM." But it really comes down to relevance. If I'm an advertiser and you can tell me you have a 1,000 people of a particular type that absolutely fits my
