Free Vintage Motorcycle Images
Go on, have a look -- after all, you paid for them
There's lots of cool, free stuff on then Library of Congress website. Well, not really free. If you're a taxing-paying American you already paid for them.
Not the least of the goodies are vintage motorcycle images. Though the vast majority are free to download, some you'll need to pay for -- again -- to call your own.

Antiquing at the AMCA National Meet
Celebrating the past but concerned about the future
Where can a guy who remembers seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show go to feel young these days? An Antique Motorcycle Club of America National Meet will do nicely, thank you.
No, I wasn't the youngest guy in Harmony, NJ, on this balmy June Friday – but among the younger. Some teenagers spending quality time with grandpa were there, looking rather bored. And that Hipster who responded with "25 cents?" when a vendor quoted him at "25" was there. Yeah, that guy.
But the problem of recruiting new blood into the AMCA is no secret, especially to the AMCA. Maybe they should ply that hipster with some PBR and find out what motivated him to pick through endless boxes of rusting motorcycle parts. Encourage him to bring his friends next time. Or contact the kids at The Moto Social where, for these Brooklynites, everything old is new again — but on their terms.
For me and Dale the Organzier it was a great way to spend the afternoon while discovering some beautiful motorcycle roads in Warren County along the way. Keep Rt. 519 from Newton to Stockton in mind if you enjoy riding back country roads. Much better than any asphalt you'll find in Brooklyn I assure you.
My dad is cooler then yours
