We found the inspiration for this clean and classic document tube on the innerweb a couple years ago. We’d seen similar gizmos on old bikes from the ‘40’s and ‘50’s. Like our modern replica, those antique jewels provided a place to store your bike’s legal documents, personal effects and other contraband. Unlike those precious relics, the Biltwell registration tube doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Our timeless vessel will only set you back three Andy Jacksons—not bad for something so well built and practical.

From Behind The Lens By Colleen Swartz Bitching on my Soapbox So what is the difference between pissing and moaning and editorial? It really is a fine line especially in this magazine because Wildman pretty much lets all of us speak our mind no matter what it is (a refreshing thing indeed to a writer). This month I had prepared a piece when I was in a particularly rabid mood about corporations and “the man” and after re-reading it I did think it sounded just a bit bitchy. Not that I don’t agree with the basic premises of my personal Read More>>>
