Channel Title: Bullpen Cycles Channel Description: This channel is about motorcycles, the sport of motorcycles, and mostly the antique and vintage kind. That's it. Anything on two wheels that is old, orphan, significant, scarce, noteworthy, odd or cool. Whether it is for the street, dirt, the track, the dragstrip or display, whatever - doesn't matter. I may know a little about a lot, which is more dangerous than good. If my experience helps you, that's great. Reach out if you need help, have some advice of your own, or just want to talk shop. Everything here is done with my own money. So, if I use a tool, a part, a source, some cycle gear, another dealer, a widget, it's because I like it (or them). Same goes for the bikes. While I am a dealer, I am first an enthusiast. The idea of my channel is to promote the hobby. While some of my bikes may or may not be for sale, my goal here is not to advertise individual bikes. I want to share fun in the hobby. Yet, if you see something you like, just call. I won't hit you with it. <video> 1st Annual GLENN CURTISS VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE & CAR SHOW in MIAMI SPRINGS Description: Dave travels to South Florida to check out the Glenn Curtiss 1st Annual Vintage Motorcycle & Car show, with a special bonus clip at the end. - More about Jeff Gundlach's Raven Moto Guzzi at https://motorivista.com/raven-motocycles/ or see it here https://youtu.be/Gh6Nl_TcJps?si=CQrpholaCzU-CmzY and here https://youtu.be/XvggJy-m7Fc?si=nfaSFkpcutdyu45O on Tim's channel.
