Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime…
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.

-Wilfred Owen

This past Saturday the shop was host to the BBQ part of the Hostile City Scooter Club's Independence Day Rally. Check out more pictures on our facebook page.

The shop's rocker cred has left the building while a 79 Vespa takes up a lift.
The second sign is this well done mash-up with Blondie and the Doors…

Truth is, I dig this video and old scoots too. Nothing against new scoots either.

We now have regular shop hours. The shop will be opening at 9(ish) Monday through Friday. Closing times are; Monday at 5:30, Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30, Wednesday at 6, and Friday at 8. Saturdays will be 1 to 5.

Swing on by to the new location in Glenside.

I am hoping to have the shop certified for PA state inspections by the end of April.
