Welcome to Motörheadster.
This blog is dedicated to my two passions in life... Motörhead and my Harley-Davidson. I have combined both to create one sweet ride called the Motörheadster! My posts include everything from Motörhead's most recent tour dates, news about the band and their concerts... to customizing my bike, my motorcycle adventures and all that is related to motorcycles, metal and general mayhem. Enjoy.
