Oral History of the San Francisco Motorcycle Club
I just heard a great story about one of the oldest motorcycle clubs in North America. The San Francisco Motorcycle Club has been in existence since 1904. The club sounds like the quitessential San Francisco institution. If you live in the San Francisco area or are visiting the city and are into motorcycles, you should visit. From their website FAQ:
The San Francisco Motorcycle Club is, paradoxically, made up of people who aren't club-types. Club-types gravitate toward associations because all they're interested in is the posing. A club doesn't provide them with instant gratification. Our clubhouse is kept up and filled by people who enjoy motorcycles, and since you seem inclined that way yourself, you're likely to meet people at the clubhouse who share your interests. Stop by on a Thursday evening or for a club ride and check us out. Do not be deterred by the application process, just stop by and hang out a while. The clubhouse's walls are covered with 99 years worth of framed photographs, banners, awards, trophies and documents. It's a veritable museum to San Francisco motorcycling, it's free to drop in, and you should.
You can listen to a story of the club's history and view a page with lots of great photos and links at Sparkletack.

Chuck Whitman, 25k miles & counting
We love to hear from our customers. When it's cold and wet outside and we're facing another long week of cranking out product, it's great to see and hear how people use our product and appreciate their quality.
Chuck Whitman writes us from the state of Wisconsin in the United States (come to think of it, it's probably cold up there too) and says he's been riding on Dymag rims for six years.
I have about 25,000 miles on them & would never want to go back to factory rims again. They add great looks & much better handing than the factory rims did.
Right on Chuck! The bike looks beautiful. Thanks for writing in.
If you use Dymag wheels and want to be featured on our site, send us an email with a photo of your bike to info@dymag.com
