Roland Sands Super Hooligans @ Mint 400

April 28, 2020

This year, round two of the 2020 Roland Sands Super Hooligan Series lured over 50 racers from all over the country to Primm Nevada, a small town on the border of California, just 40 miles from Las Vegas. There, they bet it all, racing bar to bar on a 1/5th mile asphalt oval. Laid out on a lot beneath the Buffalo Bill's Resort and Casino's Desperado roller coaster, the course looked just as fast and scary as that roller coaster. Half of the course comprised of smooth, clean asphalt while turns one and two were a much coarser, grate-the-skin-right-off-your-ass kind of asphalt.

Indian Larry Motorcycles: Past and Present

April 14, 2020

We recently had the chance to speak with Bobby Seeger Jr. while in St. Louis when he had brought two of our favorite Indian Larry bikes to the Cycle Showcase event. The quality of an Indian Larry motorcycle is sincerely something you just need to see up close to appreciate and we were excited to take this moment to snap some photos of the bikes to illustrate just that. While its easy to see a custom bike and think "well that's a good looking chopper" when you really begin to look at the engineering that went behind making an Indian Larry bike you realize, these bikes were actually made to be ridden and ridden every day.

Dan had never planned on winning the Mint 400. He just wanted to ride and have a good time. He faced a lot of difficulties and mishaps during his first desert race and he graciously took them all in stride. He learned a lot and is already planning on returning next year better prepared for the realities of difficult desert racing.

GL1000 Giveaway Bikes!

März 30, 2020

Old Bike Barn eats, sleeps, and breathes vintage motorcycles, we strive to keep vintage machines on the road. With that being said, we know buying a used bike and tracing issues previous owners "fixed" can be quite the hassle. We're here to save one lucky person the headache of fixing someone else's problems! The OBB crew has always talked about doing a giveaway with a road ready vintage motorcycle but finding the perfect bike to give away held us up. We wanted it to be something special, something that made a statement in the motorcycle industry... and that special something is the HONDA GL1000!
