Here’s a rare knife from Von Dutch engraved to Cindy Rutheford of Century Motorcycles of San Pedro California. They corresponded from ’86 to ’93 when Dutch died the same year as Cindy’s dad. Her dad and Dutch’s were both sign painters in San Pedro when they were kids.
This is just one of the many treasures we will post in Digital’s Dumpster (You know, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure…..)

EASYRIDERS chairman of the board resigns. John Martin hit the bricks recently as Easyriders’ Chairman of the Board, effective March 1, 2001. A dream to build the title into a chain of theme restaurants, top notch events and bike shops deflated as John left Joseph Teresi the new Chairman, to run what’s left of the company, the publishing arm. Joe has started two new magazines to bolster sagging profits: V-Twin, another V-Twin magazine, and Truckin’ a lifestyle magazine for custom truck owners.
V-Twin Holdings has successfully put together a distribution agreement with the Independence Motorcycle Company. We can’t seem to nail down this bike company. In other words we haven’t heard of it. Independence will now distribute motorcycles through the Bikers Dream dealer network, a wholly owned subsidiary of V-Twin, which operates six dealerships and licenses the name to 16 independent dealers in 14 states.
Ultra Motorcycle Co. the company that once owned Bikers Dream and distributed their bike in the stores recently unveiled its newest model, the “Titanium Series 2.” The “Titanium Series 2” shares similar features with the “Titanium Series 1,” however, its differences include 6-gallon stretched gas tanks, cruiser-style handlebar, 18-inch front tire and wheel and uniquely styled longer rear fender with distinctive flip.
That’s it for this week. If you have info you want posted here, send it on down. Make is short, sweet and unique. Ride on–Bandit.
