This Guy RULED!

2012-01-30T12:30:00.000-08:00

He came out to see us before a show in Trinidad. His friend was there earlier and said he wasn't going to make it because of a flat tire. About 10 minutes later he rolls up on his Triumph/Panther bastard. He said he fixed the flat with a condom! We talked for a while. I gave him a set of plug leads when I saw he had bare wire wrapped around his spark plugs. He (I wish I could remember his name!) came back later for our show and brought his whole family. They had a great time and he was very appreciative of us coming down and playing. After saying goodbye he took off on his bike, only to come back a few minutes later with an armful of beer to give out to the bands. Later on we met him and his family again at the local "7/11". He had his plug out of his bike and was chipping away at the porcelain trying to get more spark. With a rock and a screw driver he chipped away, installed the plug, some family piled on the bike and they rolled down the road home!

He was a dive instructor at a local resort, and when we mentioned we were going to the beach the next day, he said he would try and meet up with us. He did, and let us take turns riding his bike. He followed our bus part way home and when we stopped for food, he bought us beers again.

He later told us, if we ever come back down, He would teach us how to dive! This guy epitomized Cuba!

The Latin American Motorcycle Assoc. dropped by our rock and roll show in Veradero. It was pretty cool cuz just as we were getting ready to do a soundcheck we heard this massive rumble of sickles roll up on the the front lawn of the venue we were playing at. Rad dudes and rad bikes... Ya gotta love a club where the President rolls a 50's Panhead and one of the road captains rides a 50cc Soviet bike!

They love their 2 strokes

They love to make noise in the morning

They love their cheese sandwiches

They love to have dogs on their roofs

and of course... the cars!

Help Out Our Communist Brothers?

2011-12-16T13:17:00.000-08:00

The Motorcycho house band, The Vicious Cycles, are getting ready to head to Cuba in the new year to play a bunch of shows around Cuba. Rumour has it the HD/Sickle community are embracing their arrival and will be en masse at a couple of the shows! the VCMC are wanting to take down some bike bits to help some brothers out. If you have ever seen any programs or articles on how the Cubans keep the 50+ year old American bikes and cars on the road... absolute brilliance!
Here is a list of requests:

bujias[spark plugs] platinos[points] tapa de tanque de gasolina[gas
tank caps] condensador[condensors] bobina[coils 12 v]
emblemas[emblems to put on the bike] , rodamientos[bearing, gasket
material, wire.

Harleys in Cuba are all pre-60

Kinda short notice but if you have anything and you would like to help out... give us an email and let us know. The VCMC leave on January 5th so...
