The Spring 2014 Ms. Newby’s Old School Bike Show is scheduled for Friday May 2nd from Noon to 6:00 PM and is being held in the memory of the show founder Scott Davis. The classes of bikes in the show include: Shovel Head, Custom Shovelhead, Stock Panhead, Custom Panhead, Antique American (Indian, Knucklehead Flathead, or other), British / European, Sportster (89 & Older), Metric / Other.

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
