The Love-Jugs Madison, Wisconsin Police Story
Madison, Wisconsin Police Story It was the spring of 2014. A regular customer who worked as a police officer came into my shop complaining bitterly about the excessive heat that his 2013 Police motorcycle was generating.

In addition to the day-to-day local riding and fun, Old Blue carried me on several long road trips over the years. In 1975, she took me from the east coast of Florida to the Grand Canyon…

"Bikers gotta stick together," Barkalow said. "I stopped to see if he needed help, and it was Bruce." Barkalow says they tried to…
