"BRINGING OLD BIKES BACK TO LIFE." THAT'S WHAT THIS SITE IS ABOUT. THE THRILL OF HEARING THAT OLD ENGINE START UP. THE JOY OF FINDING THAT HIDDEN JEWEL IN THE CORNER OF AN OLD BARN. AND MOST OF ALL, GETTING THEM ON THE ROAD AGAIN. WE ARE ALL ABOUT MOTORCYCLES, FROM RADICAL CHOPPERS TO STOCK BIKES AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. BRANDS MEAN NOTHING HERE, WE ARE ABOUT RIDING AND WRENCHING.
Be sure to check the site resources section to the right. Remember to visit our forums and chopper tech section. This will be where most content of the site is located. We want this to be a great technical and mechanical resource for any old bike or chopper enthusiast.

Future plans include scanning in hundreds of old chopper and bike mags from the 60's, 70's and 80's. There are tons of cool stuff and tech articles in them, and let's face it, documentation for old bikes can be hard to come by. As with all great sites, we need your support! If you have any advice, articles, diagrams, guides or anything you think others would find helpful, please submit them so we can post them on the site. We will be an ever expanding resource for those who love old bikes.

Right now, we are saving up money for a special scanner for scanning magazines. After the scanner arrives we will begin scanning and archiving the magazines.

Iron Horse Social Club - Savahna, IL

My wife and I went on a short vacation. We were staying at the Mississippi Palasades State Park. Now I hate buying firewood (I burn wood for heat at my house and could cut a whole truckload or more for what they charge for a single bundle of 6 or so pieces...), but the whole Emerald Ash Borer Beetle thing kept me from bringing my own. You cant transport wood across state lines, or aern't supposed to for the time being. Also, the park is stripped bare of all dead wood by previous campers so foraging did no good. We went into Savahna, IL for some groceries and firewood. We saw a billboard and ran across this place by accident!










There are tons of old bikes in there! They are a bar and grill with three floors of motorcycle stuff. They even have a chapel up on the third floor for marriages. Anyway, it's a really AWESOME place. I would suggest going there, plus the area and roads around there are unreal for riding on. They really do have some unique stuff. There was a lot more great bikes that I didn't photograph. I don't like taking pics of everything, just enough to give a taste of what's there.

Some Updates

ot a couple of newsworthy items today:

I went to the national motorcycle museum in anamosa, IA yesterday. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I will get some pics probably tomorrow on here. Got a lot of pics.

Also, went to the Iron Horse Social Club. They have a bar with a motorcycle museum in it also. Really cool stuff and got some pics there too. Again, I will be uploading pics probably tomorrow. Real cool stuff.

And, last but not least: www.chopcult.com has went live. It got up a few days ago, be sure to check them out, cause it looks like it's about to be one of the best chopper sites out there.
