Congratulations to "Ridesabike.tumblr.com" for getting a full page feature in Entertainment Weekly! And for making a book!

It sure is awesome to see another favorite of mine (on my blog list too) get media attention from the big magazines! I found Steven's site in Jan 2011 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/celebs-photographed-in-candid-moments.html ... so it doesn't always take very long when you are puttting quality out there. Maybe someday I'll get a turn in that spotlight. (Hope!)

Leatherheads, the movie, had some great vehicles from the 1920's... George Clooney driving a motorcycle and sidecar, and Rene Zellweger. Good movie

 I looked carefully at the motorcycle, and can't see who made it. Could be any of several bike companies








 I just learned that these were both made by Eddie Paul, Thanks to Neil Larson for sending me these!
