Here's your chance to buy a whole motorcycle brand
It has a history dating back to the early 1900s.
In case you're unfamiliar with the company, Excelsior-Henderson dates
back to the early 1900s, and was operated by the Schwinns of past and
current bicycle fame. According to Mecum, the company remained in business right up until the Great Depression, when it shut down the motorcycle
line in 1931. While in business, the company built a wide array of
motorcycles in four-cylinder and V-twin configurations, and built a few
racing bikes, some of which had engines nearly 1,000cc in displacement.
Now as for how this is a potential shortcut for budding motorcycle
industrialists, the purchase of the Excelsior-Henderson brand comes with
every bit of intellectual property from the company. That includes
various marketing things such as logos, branding and websites, but it
also comes with complete frame and engine designs used by the company,
as well as expired patents. All of these things would be a boon to a new
motorcycle company, since it would provide a bit of a starting point,
rather than starting completely from scratch. The brand and its
associated intellectual property goes on sale at the Mecum Las Vegas
motorcycle auction which runs from January 23, 2018 to January 27, 2018.

Something To Ponder
Their life is characterized by entertainment and distraction, not learning and creating.
As a result, they don’t have close
relationships. They’re stuck in jobs they hate. Their life is on the
fast-track to disappointment, and they don’t know what to do.
Entertainment and distraction is the enemy of creation and learning. They will keep you in mediocrity.
If you don’t want to end up living a life of
mediocrity, focus on learning and education. It’s the fastest way to
become extraordinary, wealthy, and successful.
Cause' It's Always Just Ok
Why Don't Mexicans Like Mexican Restaurants in the United States?
DEAR MEXICAN: I love ethnic foods, and I always ask people of ethnic origins which local restaurants they like to eat at.
Whenever I ask Mexicans what Mexican restaurants they like best, the
answer is always "I don't like the way any of them make their food." I
live in Phoenix, which has a Mexican restaurant run by Mexicans on every
corner. Don't tell me they all Americanize their food for us gabachas. What gives?
DEAR GABACHA: Phoenix and the cities around
it have a great Mexican-food scene, from the alta cocina fare at Barrio
Café to the Globe-style buttered burritos at Casa Reynoso in Tempe and un chingo
of Sonoran eateries with their fabulous caldo de queso, the greatest
soup on Earth. But it's never good enough for Mexicans. Oh, we'll go out
to eat at Mexican spots, but no one can cook like our mamí or primos during a carne asada Sunday, especially not in el Norte,
because . . . well, because, okay? Don't question Mexicans! Such
Mexican arrogance filters down to our soccer squad—and now you know why
El Tri won't ever get to even the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup until
Cuauhtémoc himself becomes our forward. And I'm not talking about
Blanco. . . .
