A Visit To Walt Seigl's Shop
In Harrisville, NH is a shop full of magic and mystery where motorcycles too beautiful to imagine come from the heavens. If you believe that’s how it happens, you’re an idiot. Oh, there is a shop in Harrisville where some of the world’s most beautiful bikes come to life, but they’re not done with magic and sorcery, they’re built one at a time by Walt Siegl of Walt Siegl Motorcycles. Magic doesn’t make it happen, it’s a man with a single focus, building motorcycles that will cause people to pause and stare.
Brooklyn Invitational 2015
In it’s 8th year, the Brooklyn Invitational is far from growing long in the tooth. The last couple of years has seen the invitations going to a broad range of builds and builders. This year was another broad range from the Quail winner of Revival Cycles to the wicked creation from Ehinger Kraftrad. The show wasn’t just inside Root Studios either, hundreds of bikes filled the streets for blocks in every direction. Also this year the annual Indian Larry block party was just around the block in their new location. There you could see every kind of bike you know with more than plenty that wouldn’t have been out of place inside the Invitational. If you didn’t make it this year or before, chances are good it’ll continue to be better and a relevant event to see what’s going on in the custom moto scene.

Classified Moto Visit
On a recent road trip, I dropped by Classified Moto in Richmond, VA. He's got a pretty good business going supporting himself and family but it wasn't always wine and roses. After working 11 years in one of the top ad agencies in Richmond he was laid off. He'd already been building bikes as a hobby with a bike done that already had the foundation of the CM style. So with a lot of grit and fortitude, caution was thrown into the wind and a brand was born.
Atlanta Motorama
The weather was grey and gloomy but we still rolled down to the Atlanta Motor Speedway to take pictures of the show vehicles.
