Ray Roske began his lifelong journey on motorcycles in the last century by launching mini-bikes and a sweet, lime-green 1971 Honda SL125 over the blackened, strip-mined hills of northeastern Pennsylvania. Since that time, he has owned over thirty motorcycles; riding everything from an early 60's Harley Panhead to his current sweetheart, a Phantom Black 2011 Triumph Street Triple R. He has a smoldering passion for vintage Moto Guzzi's and has rescued a 1978 V50, a 1983 Le Mans III and a 1972 Eldorado from the scrap yard. Some of his restored bikes have been featured in Motorcycle Classics magazine, Classic Bike (UK) and on Moto Guzzi's 90th anniversary Heritage website. Many of them can be seen here.
