Velocity sells a lot of classic motorcycles, such as the BSA (another discontinued brand) in the front. They also sell Ural (Russian made) motorcycles (often sold with sidecars), Zero electric motorcycles (no gas needed) and a few other brands. It is a fine bike shop, with friendly people, and it is real close to Buz and Ned's BBQ (which is a fine place to eat in Richmond, Va. If yu are in Richmond sometime, and want to see some interesting motorcycles, be sure to drop by...it is well worth the visit (or in my case...visits) to check out what they have to offer. Be sure also to pet the dogs there...like the staff they are also friendly!

Another Mac attack (April 17, 2010)
We got back after some three hours, this is from my bike, looking at the road that goes right into my neighborhood in Concord. With spring, this entire area is green and growing (though if we don't get some rain soon, green will quickly turn to brown and dying) but for now its a remarkable thing to see.
Next ride will be to the Classic Bike Show on May 1, at the NC Transportation Museum and THAT is quite a motorcycle show. Have made it the past few years and have never failed to be amazed at the bikes that show up. See a lot of Japanese classics from the 1970's as well as some great Italian, British, German and even a few American bikes as well.

Easter Weekend (Part 1)
As for Mac's Speed Shop, it is a popular motorcycle mecca, but also serves a very good bbq which is made NC style. That is without sauce (which you add from a number available) and topped with slaw. That is a Carolina thing the slaw, but it is actually pretty good that way. They also have a fine and extensive "beverage" selection and have always found it to be a friendly place. The music in there (tends to be blues, though also feature country and rock) is also a plus. Has a very good bike night and often features live music. Not much of a food critic, but I like going there, and have missed it.
Enjoyed exploring Charlotte today and a truly great ride, and have plans for another one coming up soon.
