SpokesPeople (2023/issue2)

Fall is the time of the year where nature yields itself to another cycle of renewal. Leaves on trees take on a beautiful hue of orange, red, and yellow, before ultimately shedding its glory in the cold winter months.

I was able to soak in some of these breathtaking sights, thanks to a work trip this November in the land of cruisers and live my American Cruiser Dream.

Truly, there’s really no better place to be if you want to experience cruiser culture than in the United States of America! It’s here where you can find decades old gems lying around in unassuming barns and garages stored from generations past, like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

Having only seen pictures of some of the most exquisite and rare vintage bikes on forums and Facebook groups, I was determined to go on a treasure hunt when I had some free time. And it’s not been a disappointment.

In short, it’s been an eye-opening and rewarding experience being able to meet likeminded and passionate fellow cruiser collectors and buffs – some of whom have given me a visual feast of their prized collections, and even delighting me with a ride on them!

This issue of SpokesPeople is dedicated to the American classics and vintage cruisers. I look forward to sharing some of the stories of SpokesPeople whom I’ve encountered, through the wonderful friendships I’ve made.

Be warned. There’ll be lots of eye candy, and I hope you’ll find them as rich and colourful as I have – like the beautiful colours of the season!
