Hailing from the great state of Georgia Jackyl will brings its brand of musical mayhem to GBW: Is it hard rock? Heavy metal? Southern rock? It’s all three, so get ready to get down!

  The last few years Cleveland Ohio has greeted the hardy motorcycle enthusiast with snow, slush and sub-zero weather. This year the weather gods provided a 3-day reprieve and provided a balmy 50 degrees so motorcyclists attending the Progressive International Motorcycle Show stepped a little lighter and smiled a little brighter.

Young guns were aligned and competed against the old guard and the young builders ran the table. Click here to read the rest of the article.

Hey, This will be a week of reflection and panic over Harley’s Quarterly Report, the Kansas Plant shutdown and the State of the Union Speech. Two things at play here. One is the nature of our media now, since everything is in real-time and negativity seems to be the order of the day. So, most reports are doom and gloom. That’s not the case. The other notion is the fact that everything changes all the time. Companies are forced to navigate changing times, customers, and markets constantly. It’s not a big deal, but it’s the nature of the beast. Bikers are a different breed. We’re going to have fun whether we have money or not. We’re going to build cool shit, ...
