HUGE SHINE …..TINY PACKAGE

Mini Motorcycle Cleaning Kit Fits in a Stocking hanging from the fireplace…..HINT..HINT

www.simplywow.com

A portable, check, super portable cleaning kit for your motorcycle whether you’re on the road or at home. Included in the kit is a 1.25 fluid ounce bottle of All Organic Simply WoW Cleaner-Degreaser, two of the 1.25 fluid bottles of Tuff Buff and a cleaning cloth, all in a very compact, super tough plastic snap-shut case. The cleaner-degreaser is in concentrated, industrial strength form, applied via the spray bottle. Biodegradable, nonabrasive and nonflammable, it can will remove such stuff as grease, oil, tar, dirt and big-ass bugs. The cleaner is intended for use when a motorcycle is super dirty, and should be thoroughly rinsed off . The Tuff Buff is a waterless wash-and-wax used with a handy cloth provided or any clean micro fiber towl . Spray Tuff Buff on any surface of the motorcycle, then simply wipe it off. This Tuff Buff stuff (sorry about the pun) works with a minimum amount of elbow grease when removing bugs from any surface including windshields. Chrome surfaces as well as painted surfaces finish with an incredibly clean and deep shine Wet the bike down, then use spray on the Cleaner-Degreaser, then, rinse, and let it dry. Follow up with a hand wipe and Tuff Buff. There will be more than enough left for another road trip cleaning. A not so dirty may get more uses out of the contents of this $10.00 kit. That’s a lot of bang for your 10 American dollars.

STOCKING STUFFER #2

BUCK LOVELLS AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR CARDS

CLICK HERE FOR COLLECTOR CARDS

Classic Big Twins…..& Classic Singles…..IN MINI POSTER FORM

I produced these motorcycle collector cards many years ago and still have a few sets for sale. They are unique, in that images on the cards include the first motorcycle ever manufactured in the United States, the 1896 Marks Motorbike (in the Classic singles 12 card set) as restored by the late Stan Dishong. Stan belongs in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame if you ask my opinion. More on Stan Dishong later. In the Classic Big Twin Card set there are no less than 6 different Crcoker Big-Twin images including the number one Crocker Big Twin, which was manufactured and sold in 1936. Each card is 2½ inches tall and 3½ inches wide, with quality that resembles a mini poster as can be seen in the photos. From 1896 to 1953 more than 450 different American motorcycle companies managed to produce motorcycles for sale. Some produced only one Machine. Most companies bit-the-dust early on. The Traub Motorcycle Company was one of these. The only motorcycle that was produced by the Traub Motorcycle Company company was bricked up in a fireplace until discovered sometime after 1950. Again….I’ll have more on the Traub motorcycle later. The name of the single surviving American motorcycle company, Harley-Davidson has become a household word, and there are several HD images on the cards. Collector card sets can be purchased on the Lovell Photography website. Kids love’em, and so do most American Motorcycle enthusiasts. They make excellent stocking stuffers!
