Last year, Porsche celebrated the 55th anniversary of the 911. The 911 of 1963 doesn’t share much in common with the 2018 911 other than maybe possessing four wheels and being rear-engined. You definitely coudn’t use parts from a 1963 911 on a 2018. In 1966 Alfa Romeo debuted their two seat Spider and changed […]

The Boomers and Hipsters in their quest to project certain images, have pushed the values of Westfalias and other VW Van camper conversions to the point of ridiculousness. Never mind that they really are barely adequate to drive ad the posted speed limit on the way to your mountain campground, the image of you and […]

If you watch any of those home flipper shows on HGTV, when the work of flip is done, the last major element is the staging for the sale. In looking at that other car site that has become nothing but auctions, the better the staging as far as the photograph locations, the better the price. […]

One of the consequences of vehicles becoming so valuable that they become art is that if you used them for their primary purpose, you’d diminish their value. This bike is beautifully turned out and is probably better than it was when it left Spain over 50 years ago. However if you were to get it […]

There are a lot of interesting ideas that manufacturers have come up with that didn’t pan out littering Craigslist. Back in the 80’s, a few manufacturers thought that if big wheels worked on ATV’s and Quad’s, why not on two wheelers. The results didn’t exactly define a new category of motorbike. Find this 1987 Yamaha […]

A rising tide lifts all boats. I guess that even applies to the previously cheap 116 series Alfa Romeos. It used to be that around 6K would buy you a nice, driver quality Bertone GTV like the one featured last week, and a grand or two would buy you an Alfetta. Now you can barely […]

In most states in the Union, any two wheeler with 50cc’s or smaller can be ridden on the street without special endorsement. (although you might need special bravery pills). Most things under that 50cc limit are either small scooters or things with a set of pedals in addition to an ICE. However for one year […]

If you own a rare classic for a number of years, you probably know a lot of details about it. You have probably read the history books and period magazine articles about your bike. From that you probably even know details about your bike in contemporary popular culture. Like if a famous actor rode it […]

For the best 500cc bike I suppose I could have searched for some sort of race bike that had won numerous championships or something from the land of excitable people that gesture a lot with their hands, but I decided to go with “the triple with the ripple” from the two stoke nuts at Kawasaki. […]

Why pay retail? Cut out the middleman and pay pennies on the dollar! Seems like everyone is on the lookout for a deal in this new normal of 2% growth. So, why would you pay millions for a Cobra when you can build one yourself for peanuts? Of course, some adult assembly is required, but […]
