  • Wide Open Moto http://wideopenmoto.blogspot.com/

    WideOpenMoto is a site dedicated to providing high quality images and original articles about classic, exotic and obscure motorcycles paired with interesting, humorous, knowledgeable and generally engaging descriptions. Images are carefully curated; we deal in quality rather than quantity. The main site strives to provide a minimalistic, design-fuelled space which is rich in motorcycle culture. WideOpenMoto aims to integrate with social networking sites to provide the foundation for a community which celebrates classic motorcycling. We do not intend to move into the 'custom motorcycle' genre dominated, of course, by the BikeExif behemoth and imitators, but rather provide the go-to place for classic, exotic and obscure motorcycles which are at the moment not represented by such a site.
