The Mike Parti Story

A portrait of an avid motorcyclist by Michael FitzsimonsĀ  Parti was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on June 23, a long time ago. At 15, Parti bought an old Ford jalopy. When his mother saw the car, she threatened to chain the tires together until Parti turned 16 and got his driverā€™s license. Early on, he bought an old Indian Scout for $15, which Parti pointed out was the going rate for a bike that didnā€™t run in those days. NOTE FROM Bandit: Mike Parti sadly passed a few years back, but his bikes and his legacy live on. Recently his daughter Clarice ā€œTishā€ kindly donated this historic sidecar rig to the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum. We are exceedingly proud to ...

Book Review: City Blocks by J.D. Fratto

Hey, You can download this ebook for Free on Amazon, Monday to Friday, starting June 10. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5C2YBZW I believe the narrative is truly honest and introspective even though the language may seem complicated to some readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the exploration of people and places in the life of the protagonist. The changing scenario with unchanging circumstance of the narrator, the rich beauty evident in prose and perspective, the message of growth, love and being in the moment---it all shines through. This is a short, crisp novella, told in a very unique style--maybe as endearing as the protagonist it depicts. I would recommend it, especially to those with Kindle Unlimited. Its a good day's read on a park bench in ...

“That” Build: VLXAFL-5 Build Series Part 8

Almost ready to Wire and Fire A labor of love report from Bandit with photos by the Redhead and Weed "Hang on! My alignment issues through the driveline werenā€™t over. I even had an issue with the front wheel alignment. This tech may jump around some, but you'll get it. At least the transmission was in place securely and I could Flex seal the oil tank mount and install the oil tank, run the oil lines, attach the oil filter mount, make a front chain guard, make a kickstand stop, find the pieces for a clutch throw-out bearing, make the proper length pushrod, order a clutch cable from Barnett and almost forget the code for clutch adjustment." ~~~Bandit Click here ...
