So here’s a question: Is your machine ready for Spring? Is it really? It’s been a mild winter, but actual Spring is right around the corner. When it does finally get properly warm around here, it’ll mean a rush of people out to scratch the same itch — a rush of folks with a hundred …

Away and back again
This time of year Christmas and New Year’s get most of the attention and fanfare. It’s the season of giving, and the bright promise of a new year and all that brings. There are other holidays clumped in around late December too — some cultural, some religious — but of all the days that can …
Bikes we love: Honda CB350
There are a handful of machines that seem to bubble to the top of the classic Japanese bike scene. Honda’s unassuming little 350 is one of those bikes. Whether it’s the CB350 with its sporting attitude, or the CL350 with its ray gun side pipes, the Honda 350 is the classic champion of mid-sized parallel …
The times, they are a-changin
Maybe it’s the jet lag (I’m in Austria at the moment). Maybe it’s the pace of things for me right now, but as I think about what to post today there’s only one thing that really seems to matter. After a year of regular weekly posts, I’m going to be stepping away from the sweetest …
Tomorrow: The big tamale sample sale
Tomorrow we’re hosting a special sales event on merch from Bell, Teknic and Scorpion. What exactly is for sale? You’re going to have to come find out. It’ll be a mix of samples and new stuff, all at great prices. It’s more than just a sale though. We’ll have live music from The Violent Shifters …
The old and the beautiful
I’m going to make a confession here. I don’t really like the Honda CB750. I know it’s an icon. I know it changed motorcycling forever. I know it’s the birth of the superbike. And I know it’s a favorite platform for Japanese Cafe Racers. Still, I’m not a big fan. There’s nothing wrong with the …
Bikes We Love: Triumph Bonneville
Brando, Eastwood, and the godfather of cool himself, Steve McQueen. What’d these icons have in common? They all rode a Triumph Bonneville on screen. Hell, McQueen rode a Bonneville off-screen too. If you know bikes, especially British bikes, then you know the Bonneville. Her friends call her Bonnie and her fans stretch back more than …

Hello, snow
Last Saturday morning the Twin Cities got its first real snow of late autumn. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to seal the season as far as I’m concerned. While we might yet see the brown ground once or twice more before winter proper, it’s probably safe to say that I’ve had my last …
Good news all around
There are several great things coming together this week. First, we’re completely packed with winter storage bikes. We’re full, and after only a couple weeks. All we can say is THANK YOU!!! Storing your bike with us not only gets you and your machine taken care of, but it really helps us make it through …
