Earlier this month, Walter Barlow visited Martin Moto for the 7th annual Modern Classic Show. He brought along his camera and in his words, thought you all “might enjoy some nostalgia induced endorphins.” I’m inclined to agree with him!

This one just makes me smile. Tima Kuleshov can’t get out of a van or wave goodbye properly but he’s having a hell of a time on two wheels. It’s awesome:

Here’s a look back at what sales films used to look like – I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! This was created sometime in the late 50s (at least 1958, as that’s when the Duo Glide was released). As it’s stated in the beginning…the new Harley-Davidsons are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The marketing copy is fantastic.
