Bultaco Pursang

"There are two types of race freaks - Bultaco freaks and non Bultaco freaks. If you want to win in motocross, get a Bultaco, hold it wide open and hang on!"

Maïco 400

.

This Maico 400 MC epitomizes the early 1970’s motocross machine that became a permanent part of Maico lore and still represents the classic style…

The condition of this machine is highly original and, for the most part, un-restored, with some possible restoration performed to minor parts, including the exhaust. The frame number and the engine numbers are factory correct and original. It is 400 cc engine. The gearbox is also original to the machine. This Maico is completely original and has never been apart, has a fantastic patina to it that can’t be replicated, and is a true historical document that should be preserved for the future.

Broken Spoke Saloon - Laconia, NH

Our featured biker bar of the week is the Broken Spoke Saloon in Laconia, NH. This week is the 88th Anniversary of the nation's oldest bike rally, Laconia Motorcycle Week, and the Broken Spoke is once again one of the top destinations for the thousands of people who invade this beautiful New England lakeside town.

The Broken Spoke is billed as the Largest Biker Bar in the World, and with 2 locations in Sturgis, plus one each in Laconia, Daytona, Myrtle Beach; who's to argue? Their Laconia location is only open during the spring and summer, but they make up quickly for lost time, starting this year with a Cinco de Mayo Bash. Over this past winter, they moved the stage inside, where live bands will be playing every weekend throughout the season. They've added outside picnic tables and horseshoe pits, with more exciting changes to come this summer! Also, new selections have been added to the already stacked menu (try the Buffalo Fries!) and always have ice cold beer ready for those hot summer afternoon rides!

If you're heading to Laconia for Motorcycle Week, make sure your party includes the Broken Spoke! This week they've got contests, tribute bands, the Jagermeister Girls, Jeremiah Weed giveaways and oil wrestling. If that's not messy enough for you, they top off the week on Saturday night with comedian Gallagher!

Broken Spoke Saloon is open Thursday through Monday From May through September. It's located at 1072 Watson Road (Rt. 3), next to FunSpot. There's never a cover charge! So, grab a cold beer from a hot barmaid, get some Skid Lids or a bowl of Crankcase Chowda and check out all the bikes. It's not just a bar, it's an experience! Tell them Jeff from Bars4bikers.com sent you!
