Retro Tours allows you, the rider, to choose from a whole fleet of bikes from the 70's as you take a tour of all of the great back roads of Pennsylvania. Lead by motorcycle enthusiast and former racer, Joel Samick, Retro Tours gives you the opportunity to ride a piece of the past on the road less taken.

Six months ago, I was introduced to a woman whose had recently lost her husband. They rode together back in the day on a 1972 ‘toaster tank’ R60/5. The bike had not been run in decades and was gathering dust and clogging up her garage. She wanted me to help move it on. I suggested it could be so...

In between tours we (I have helpers) work a full schedule in my basement. The home based workshop has 3 lifts, a very complete set of tools and some equipment including a tire machine, an electronic balancer, a 20 ton press, a bead blast cabinet, etc. Cycle Resurrections is the name of this divisio...

Our town, Kennett Square, PA is the ‘Mushroom Capital of the World’. I know this to be true because it is written on the water tower that looms over downtown. In this area there are many horse farms and equestrians. The horses provide an essential ingredient for mushroom cultivation: manure...

I know a rider, nick named “The Ditch Rider” who has a gorgeous Honda Shadow Aero. Due to some physical issues, ‘Ditch’ no longer feels comfortable riding his 2 wheeler. He tried adding a sidecar, but when this proved to be impractical and/or beyond his means, he hired me to install a Voyage...

It’s happening! Spring is just around the corner. Several weeks ago, there was an unusually warm day and motorcycles were out in droves. Shortly thereafter the crocuses pushed up and now there are yellow and purple flowers in the fields. Soon, the trees will begin to bud and the planet will turn g...

Fall is just around the corner. The nights and mornings are a bit cooler now, and it sure feels like a relief. It has been HOT. I have taken to wearing lightweight, heavily ventilated gear intended for desert riding, along with a camel-back for ‘in flight’ re-hydration. Hey, whatever it takes; g...

My bikes are getting old (as am I). My wife says I have to sell some. I have a strong emotional attachment to many of these bikes which have served me well over the decades. Most of them have relatively high mileage. These are not trailer queens; they are bikes that can be and have been ridden. None...

Last week there were a few days where the temperature hereabouts nearly hit 80°. Motorcycles suddenly appeared all over the place. People are calling about getting bikes recommissioned that have sat idle for years or decades. One fellow had me pick up his 1965 Honda CA95. He is the first owner and ...

January wasn’t too bad. There were several warm-ish days and no snow to speak of. On some of those days, motorcycles were conspicuously cruising thew roads; could spring be far off? Now February has squashed any notion of an easy winter. The weather pattern has stabilized with storms cascading a...
