Prince wrote a song with the lyrics, “Let’s go Crazy, Lets get Nuts”. Well Fred Hensel did just that. Ok, here is a vehicle that we all should want. It is as weird as can be, there is only one in the world and it has a cool factor that no other has. Let’s start…
Well, 2016 has been quite a year…no kidding! we’ve lost so many great entertainers (I don’t care about politicians that have left this world), but some really cool people…Prince, Princess Leia, Zaza Gabor, Mrs. Brady, Arnold Palmer (I’m a lousy golfer and wish I could have taken lessons from him!!), Muhammed Ali, Merle Haggard, Abe…
I have a four year old Grand daughter, when did I get old enough to have a grand daughter? Uh, just look in the mirror. Oh. She is smart, fearless and loves trying almost anything except spicy foods…she’ll learn. Here is where the good part comes in. She loves her daddy’s motorcycle. She sits on…
I have no idea what I was thinking. A past friend convinced me to buy a BMW motorcycle. I had a barn full of Honda’s Yamaha’s, Ducati’s ,Triumphs a, Gilera and something I don’t even remember. Based on the household rules (my wife) I had to sell something in order to buy something. No problem….

I once had a friend who was so into BMW that I think he applied for German citizenship!? But he ended up simply restoring them and riding old Beemers all over the Western US. He even convinced me to buy one and in all honesty I loved it. I sold it a few years later…
I am a fan of small motorcycles, give me a 125, 250 or 350 and I am happy as can be. When I find an old one I even get happier. Bikes like this BSA have a soul that modern bikes just can’t match. I had a BSA 350 single and I absolutely loved it….

I I have a soft spot in my heart for Bultaco. And at the same time I curse my step dad for introducing me to Bultaco. I started my racing life on a Bultaco and have many mixed memories of that bike. I started on a 1967 Matador, I would race it on Sunday and…
I have written many times about motorcycles I have lusted after during my 50+ years of motorcycling. Some are worthy of my lust and others are just a Thursday night at the Pub talking with my other motorcycle junkie (in some cases it’s motorcycle junk) friends.
