The Race of Gentlemen

October 28, 2019

Whether it's cars or bikes the name of the game is pre-1950's. You won't ever see anything even as "new" as a Panhead or Shovelhead out there. The 45" flatheads make up a big chuck of the bikes but the big twin flatties and knuckleheads is where the action really heats up out there. Along with the old Harleys you can often see a strong presence of early Indian motorcycles as well as Henderson, Excelsior and many more. No matter what the bike each rider brings their own unique flair to the event, something that brings spectators back again and again.

That tradition has carried on for years now and brought out some of the most incredible restorations and custom builds that would have otherwise just been sitting in a well preserved collection in the far corners of the state.

Full Speed Ahead Show

September 23, 2019

A lot of motorcycle shows host pre-parties on the night before the show. While the Full Speed Ahead show is no different than most in that regard, where they do come out on top is in the choice of venue. Truth and his crew spend the day before the show prepping a battleship for the night's festivities. Yes, a battleship. Specifically, the USS Salem, which is docked at the United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum in Quincy, Massachusetts.
