My buddy Aaron Buckley has a custom leather goods company called River City Leather. He just launched his new website. Check it out here Go buy something. I just bought a new belt which is about 2 years overdue. ha. If you’re looking for a new wallet, he has some pretty nice options.
So most of you are already aware that Biltwell has released the Gringo, a retro inspired fullface helmet that mimics the old Buco Allsport’s and Bell Star’s from the late 60’s and 70’s. What many of you many not have noticed is that a little known brand, Daytona Helmets, has released a Gringo Competitor into […]
It’s full on fucking war with this broke-ass, motorcycle-hating city. As some of you may know, the PPA has begun enforcing motorcycle and scooter parking on the sidewalk, citywide! This means the old ways are dead and we have to bookend our bikes in between cars, take up a whole car space (which is totally […]
Hello and welcome to another addition of the weekly COTT gear review. This week I have pulled out some super warm, economical and understated moto gloves to keep those sausages from freezing as we head into the colder months. The first pair are the Held Warm N Dry. Held has a stellar reputation for making […]
So sick… I think the z1 / kz900 / kz1000 has become my favorite cycle. For a crappy old 70’s bike… man they can make some power. Pics are from here: http://elcorramotors.blogspot.com
suck it Alex, more old bike shit… I’ve been really interested in the KZ750’s lately. They definitely do not get the same attention as the CB’s or KZ900/1000’s but have a lot to offer and have a good base for modifying. It’s a basically a bored out KZ650 with better cams and other performance modifications […]
(Weekly gear review by Alex Q) So I have decided that there has been enough talk about old shitty motorcycles and ways to skirt the law while looking for places to camp, but not enough discussion about motorcycle related gear. We all know (whether or not we admit it to ourselves or others) that at […]
Still looks funny no matter how you say it.
I’m not sure where the phrase ‘renegade camping’ came from or even anyone else uses it, but among some of our friends we use it to describe camping for free. Traveling anywhere other than the east coast has made these kind of spots easy to find but I haven’t had a good go-to spot near […]
*** Sold for $107,000 I saw this one on ebay and pretty much got a half dolphin. It’s a kz1000r – S1 – which was 1 of 29 made for AMA superbike racing. I try not to make posts that involve stuff from outside sources like ebay etc… But this was too good to pass […]
I love when I get emails from people about trips they’ve done. Dan is from Collingswood NJ. He emailed me saying he just rode his Honda cb from Milwaukee back here to philly area. Check out the PDF he put together, it’s a good little read. Homeward-Bound [PDF]
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… It annoys me when I see cycles on eBay that say “Fresh rebuilt engine. 10 miles on it since rebuild. Runs great.” etc… Fucking stupid. I would never buy a bike like that unless the owner has put like 1000 miles on the rebuilt engine to […]
Our buddy Mike Ashley just recently finished his 83 kawi gpz550 and brought it out tonight. Pretty badass. – Sport bike wheels, brakes and forks. – Shortened rear end.
This is officially the last Thursday ride of the summer with Fall beginning this Sunday. I think we’ve had more than half the Thursday rides rained out this summer but tonight’s forecast is clear and in the 60’s so come out and have some fun. BP @8pm. Ride then beers.
So… I’ve met Clint a few times. He’s a cool dude. Kills it riding trails. Even if you don’t like bmx… you’ll enjoy this vid. It’s mainly about Clint’s “living-free” lifestyle. He has an old Airstream trailer he lives out of and tows around the country with his veggie-diesel van. He travels for free due […]
Help me out here… Comment and let me know if anyone has any clue if easy pass changed. You used to be able to follow a car through easy pass and if you were real tight on the cars bumper… Easy pass would count you as part of the car and you’d be all set. […]
Trip was awesome. The 3 of us left Philly for 10 days and 1900 miles trip north toward Arcadia National Park. My Guzzi was hit last year and mothballed for 15 months. I gave myself a week to fix it before the trip. Brian blew-up his engine a month ago, and had to rebuild it […]
I’ve recently had a bunch of guys from Italy buying the vintage AO safety glasses that we sell at Cast & Salvage. I was interested how people found out about our stuff so I asked a few people that bought the glasses and they sent me this snippet from a Italian motorcycle magazine called Riders.
I don’t know about you, but I spend a decent amount of time looking at tumblr’s. Specifically “fashion/design/lifestyle” tumblr’s. One that I really like is called the Pursuit Aesthetic. They rarely have cycles on it, but when they do, they’re normally good ones. This cb350 really stood out to me. love love love that exhaust […]

Prices were all over the place. Total junk barely rolling with half the engine missing, selling for $2000. Nuts. Then there is the super clean 2nd year with the bassani exhaust, the dude said he sold for $3500, but I think he lied to me, he was a dick. Then the dude I bought a […]
