Did ya miss me?


I missed me.




Howdy folks! It’s been a month and a half since I’ve posted, and that could very well be because I have had absolutely nothing of interest to tell you. But now I do.

-This time of year is characterized by motorcycle shows. Here are some highlights.
-Suzuki, though pretty much calling off automotive works, is still going to be   producing motorcycles. There are some new bikes (and a new Burgman!) and a buncha carryovers.

-Honda is continuing to stack the middleweight arena with a bunch of 500s and 700s. Be on the lookout for a naked sometime in the future. I can feel in my bones that Honda doesn’t like Triumph’s solid grip on the segment.

-Indoor swap meets sometimes accompany the custom shows. Attached are some photos from the Chicago Custom Show out at Pheasant Run in West Chicago- including the second time I’ve seen the Obama-bike.

-Good news for vintage Missouri fans! Bike nights resume 4 March  at Flying Tiger Motorcycles in Maplewood, MO (just outside of St. Louis). Weather permitting, you’ll catch me there. Hopefully the snowfall that Missouri’s seen over the last few days is good and gone by then. Here's The Tiger Facebook page.

That’s all I got for now. See you ‘round, be safe, and happy trails.
