Motorcycle Shop Opens in Maplewood

.

By Becky Slatin

Eric Bess and Teresa Swanson lost their jobs within a year of each other, so the couple turned their passion for vintage motorcycles into a thriving Maplewood business at Flying Tiger Motorcycles. Stand in Flying Tiger Motorcycles for any length of time, and you’ll inevitably hear the phone ringing with questions about elusive parts for vintage Japanese motorcycles, or see someone drop in just to look around.

He wants to become the first Spaniard to complete The Dakar rally on a two-stroke Spanish bike and he’s not going to let the lack of eligible contemporary Spanish production motorcycles stop him. Instead, he’s going to ride a 1978 Bultaco Frontera 370 in the 14-stage, 3,100-mile race through the deserts of Argentina and Chile.”

In 1967, at age 16, Craig Vechorik was given the keys to his first car - a 1958 Rambler that had more miles on it than a road map.
"I hadn't had it no time before I tore the clutch out of it," says Vechorik, 60. "My dad told me he couldn't afford to have it fixed. So he bought me a box of tools, a motor manual, the parts for it and told me to fix it myself... Read more

Mike Murphy's Rokon "Cobra"

.

Via the amazing site : www.vmxtv.com

Mike had this bike in boxes for years and no time to restore. So this year he didn't ride the AHRMA Cross Country Series and took the time to build it. This " COBRA " model is 1 of only 70 made. Super porting and a 44mm Mikuni carb. He rode it down the lane and it just digs a trench. Sweet !!

Baja BUGGY formerly owned by Steve McQueen | 1971

.

Via the one and only : Louwman Museum

The Baja California peninsula is a Mexican state. In 1962 a 1,000-mile race was first run here over the predominantly rough, desert-like landscape with unpaved roads full of potholes and strewn with large boulders. It was a fantastic challenge for the actor and motoring enthusiast Steve McQueen, who took part in the mid-1960s.
