Cliff Majhor of Portland, owner of The Cycle Hub has passed away at 90 years old. He had acquired a legendary status as a character and as a hoarder of old motorcycles and parts. There are hundreds of stories about him, and how he ran his business. Reputed for price gouging, although he always...

Name the bike.

I decided to ride my 1965 R69S to the Idaho BMW Rider's rally in Grandjean Idaho, near the Sawtooth Wilderness. They have a small creek flowing right past the check-in tent so everyone gets a photo of their "water crossing" entrance to the event. A total of 1200 miles round trip, the bike got a...

A Norfield? Looks like a 700cc Constellation engine. I wonder what's in the Norton oil tank. Enfields are dry sump, but the oil resevoir is in a chamber that's part of the crankcase casting.

Old BMW advertising poster.

Local paper this morning has an article about the California Lane Sharing bill. Say's it's close to passing. The article isn't posted on their website yet, looks like they only post the top stories of the day. If they plan to post it at all, it will eventually appear here.

Here's a picture of me Riding Mr. Robb's Black Shadow, which was sold at the 2008 Mid-America auction in Monterey. I would have posted this in my PM to you but attachments don't seem to be allowed. I know I've posted this picture before, but not sure if you've seen it, and it's easier to just...

I'll start with this. Not a motorcycle? Well, the club charter uses the words two and three wheeled motor vehicles as part of the description of what constitutes a "vintage motorcycle". Plus, the owner of this is one of our founding members, who's been a Vincent owner since tge early 80's...

(sorry about the late announcement!) Hard to believe it's been 35 years since the first one! May 16 and 17, Benton County Fairgrounds, Corvallis, Oregon. (always the 3rd weekend in May) We're featuring Hodaka, and we expect to see a bunch of nice examples of that unique marque, designed and...

Video. I still don't buy it. He's yarding up some trash that the real loggers cut down because it was in thier way, just to prove the winch works... _M2m7FHhfsg

For the first time since 1971, Royal Enfields will be built in England. I hope this includes production of new Interceptors.

I don't know if anyone even remembers the informal survey I did some years ago on a number of popular motorcycling forums, including here. I gathered a fair amount of data, then just let it sit, not really having the knowledge to compile it into anything useful. Not too long ago, I passed the...

Anyone heard of this one? Nimbus goes to Bonneville This may be almost as difficult as getting a 1921 Scout up to 200 MPH. The Nimbus has an overhead cam inline four (since 1934!), but it wasn't a very high performance bike. Good for maybe 75-80 MPH, and the have exposed rockers, valve stems...

This bike is now in the hands of my friend Dave Morgan at Cycle Psycho Motorcycle Recycling. http://cyclepsycho.com He's trying to decide whether to part it out or sell it as-is. Here's his shot of realism regarding projects, even when they look as clean as this.

Looks like the Ducks are getting payback for the last game they played against Arizona.
