Nothing was chosen at random, whoever was behind all of this put some serious thought and dedication into it. I was impressed.
As I explored The Vintage Monkey, just who I had come across quickly became very clear to me.

It was only a matter of time before I'd ask Shasta to be featured on YouMotorcycle. She was gracious enough to accept.
