Motorcycles with Style
The wooden-framed cycle pictured above originally turned up on MAKE a few years back. Pictured below is an 1896 Steam Motorcycle, and even further below, a one-of-a-kind 1912 Gilligan Steam Flyer, on display at Pier 45 in San Francisco.
We are an unnamed panchronistic group of individuals working towards the cause to which we are all so devoted. Our realm of interest may resonate with people in subcultures like Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Cyberpunk, Goth, Society for Creative Anachronism, "Retro Culture" revivalists, etc. but we're looking at a much bigger picture than any of those narrow windows onto the timespace continuum.
Although we are interested in the entire span of Earth's existence from the primordial soup to the present, we regard the two hundred year period from 1766 to 1966 as Earth's last (and probably final) "Golden Age". Between the era of Mozart and the era of "Man from UNCLE" falls the shadow.
