If you’re not into Harleys, there’s really very little out there along the lines of information and gatherings for common interests in motorcycles.  I love the vintage bikes, especially the imports.  This site is for anyone that shares the same interest.

My name is Brian Tommasone and I am the founder and maintainer of this site.  When I was 14, I bought a new Tomos Silver Bullet moped and absolutely loved it.  I rode it every chance I could and logged about 6,000 miles on it before I turned 16 and started driving and completely forgot how much fun riding was.

For most of my adult life I ignored motorcycles because I was pretty put off at the idiots I saw on bikes and plus I love cars..especially the all wheel drive luxury variety.  In 2008, for no apparent reason, I woke up on a Saturday and told my wife I was going to go buy a motorcycle.  I chose a 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 500, most ly for the looks of it and it was pretty cheap for a new bike too.

Something inside of me snapped. I was instantly hooked and obsessed and I kept remembering the ‘72 Honda CL350 my dad had for a short time when I was 13 (he sold it to buy me my moped when I turned 14).  Within a month of having my Kawasaki, I started looking for an old Japanese bike to restore.

As I mentioned, I also love cars, especially anything that’s all wheel drive.  My favorite car that I’ve owned was a 2003 Audi A4 Quattro.  I traded that for a 2008 Lexus IS 250 AWD, with the financial assistance of a compensation package I have with my job.  I’m still obsessed with Audi cars though, but unfortunately I’d have to make a LOT more money to fix and maintain one as a hobby, so for my regular guy salary, I’m focusing on vintage motorcycles.

I decided to put up this web site in order to start a community of people with a similar taste in motorcycles.  I love all of the old bikes.  Thanks to everyone for joining and participating on my site.  The response has been for more than I ever imagined, and I couldn’t be happier.  I love maintaining this site, hooking up with other bike owners, and hearing about everyone’s experiences and bikes.
