The world of Motorcycles has all the ingredients of a good, enriching drama; heroic deeds, political intrigue, design brilliance, cut-throat business practices, quirky characters, national tensions, cultural biases, eros and thanatos.
When diving into the murk of motorcycle history, we find unexpected riches...everything which makes this life interesting, and worth living.
Motorcycles per se are just metal; it is individuals who animate them, and inhabit the stories within this site. We provide meaning to the metal, and in telling the story of Motorcycling, we tell the story of our world.

Me thinks Vintagent is infatuated with Ian Berry, what with the subject of human pictures he be majority. Lust, hero worship, man crush? We know not yet strange it is.
Wonderful pix and ride report. Your blog really is my favorite read, great content, bravo!
@anonymous; Ian was my guest and riding companion for two days...if you've never ridden with a beloved friend for several hundred miles in beautiful countryside, you wouldn't understand...so I encourage you to go out riding for a few days with a friend, have some laughs, fart around, pull silly stunts; dig it.
I am so glad people still RIDE these bikes, and don't hide them in a highly secure shed! The sound of Velo's have to be heard, and the bikes appreciated for what they were made in the first place.
Thanks (again) for sharing the photos, they are proof of a great time.
I clearly remember the first Velo clutch I had to adjust at the age of 16... Thatis 41 years ago now. Those bikes look better than I do ;)
