The annual Rockers Reunion Indianapolis is coming up, but before the main event, the Ton-Up Indy guys host a Trophy Unveiling as a preview party.

We like these glimpses into pop culture and how they illustrate the way motorcycling enhances the facade of celebrity personae. In photographic archives, throwing a leg over an old British classic or Honda scrambler can be as cool as throwing on a Perfecto leather jacket or rockin’ a pair of Ray-Bans.
If you read our original feature and interview with Hometown Jersey, you’ll learn why we love the effort they put into achieving an authentic vintage racing look.

We’ve since added a couple more to our collection, check ’em out!
While watching On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter, you’ll be grinning most of the way through. There’ll be some chuckles, a few nods and audible exclamations. At other times, your eyes will be wide with wonderment and maybe even well up once or twice. The “Brown” brand of storytelling is firing on all cylinders here and we loved every bit.

Watch the simple, pond-side performance of “Riding to New York” and see Michael Rosenberg‘s lyrics below…then go hug someone you love.
