THE BOLT

I really loved the detail and craftmanship of antiques and all the weird obsessive people that went with it.

Setting out on a Manhattan route to turn heads and stop traffic up and down the borough, the roar of the crowd could actually be heard over the engines (true gentlemen indeed).

We got word that Billy Joel, yes Mr. Piano Man, had opened up a custom motorcycle shop titled 20th Century Cycles in the small north shore town.

This is a store for young and old, all walks of life. You can come in and buy a locally made gift, cool clothes, vintage, or a piece of art or photography of The Race of Gentlemen races in Wildwood, NJ.

I was in Austin, TX for the 2014 show, gawking at the custom builds and shiny examples of eye-popping form and heart-pounding function, leaving me totally impressed, inspired and with one over-riding thought, “I want to be part of this.”
