The Cycle Archives...


Do ya love old chopper mags? Well who the hell doesn't? Fuck paying ridiculous prices for old rags at swapmeets and on eBay. Well check this out! If ya dig the shit on this blog then you get an idea of the kind of bikes I'm into. I've got a rather insane collection of bike mags (Chopper, Choppers, Street Chopper, Custom Bike, Custom Chopper, and the list goes on and on) from the '70's to mid '80's. I've been scanning the best feature bikes, tech articles, and even the ads of all the coolest shit. Then I take these files and convert them to searchable PDF's. No more thumbing through old mags for an article that may or may not have been in god knows what issue. Just type in a few keywords and it will pull up every article that relates to it. Then I put these on DVD's. You end up with almost 4GB's of hi-res Jpeg files and the PDF on DVD shipped to you for $22 in the US or $25 everywhere else (this covers costs of DVD and time burning, packing, runnin' to the Post Office, etc.). It's over 130 articles (over 500 pages of chopper porn!) Harley, Indian, Brits, and Jap, long bikes, short chops, diggers, café’s, trikes, drag bikes, etc.
