Yamaha XS description
Here is another in a long line of restorations we have completed. Each year we build and restore several XS1100s in various years and models. We restore customer owned and our own collection. This is our most recent Special for someone to own and enjoy. Those who have owned one know just exactly what this bike is. Those who have not, would be in for a pleasant surprise. This is a frame up total restoration. Although we restore all makes and models of vintage bikes, the XS1100 is our speciality. This is the first of several XS1100s we will be listing in the upcoming weeks. We build these bikes for people to not just look at, but to ride.

You want a nice little car, you do.
Wed, 08 Sep 2010We ran a couple of stories last week - both, coincidentally, about new Kawasakis. One was the first peek of the new ZX10R – hot stuff you’d imagine – the other, the new W800 retro parallel twin. I suppose it shouldn’t have shocked us, which story was most popular in terms of hits but it really does mark a seismic shifts in British biking attitudes that the W800 story doubled the hits of the ZX10 piece.
POW! 2008 FLHTCUSE Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide
Wed, 11 Feb 2009Grab the wallpaper and click over to SPECs where you’ll find honest user reviews for this bike. Don Hutchinson reviewed the Electra Glide in December, calling it a “Great Machine” and gave it a perfect Rating! Phil Nuccio also gave it a 5/5 rating all ’round and uploaded a picture of his HD for all of us to enjoy.
Retirement is rife but thankfully not for Vale
Thu, 15 Nov 2012The racing season may be over but the winter nights will surely fly by as we watch reviews, debate events of 2012 racing and relish the excitement that lays ahead in 2013. Unfortunately retirement seems to be popular right now so with major names leaving BSB, WSB and Moto GP things will never quite be the same. I’m still in shock that Casey Stoner has decided to head back home for a spot of fishing.
