A New Vintage

To some, the term "dirty biker" is a badge of honor that acknowledges the countless hours spent on the road, in the garage hip-deep in grease, or camped in the wilderness under the stars. If you wear your road grime with pride, this article is not for you. But if you're actually sick of it and a nice hot shower is sounding mighty good, then read on.
An avid motorcyclist and former Harley-Davidson dealer in his native Canada, Brad Leith is developing a series of 20 resort communities throughout the United States and Canada specifically designed for the upscale motorcycle enthusiast. He's formed Vintages Inc., headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and as president of this new company, he has a bold vision: Brad says, "What we envision is a retreat for motorcycle riders that is all inclusive. Each facility will have exceptional resort-style amenities including extended stay rental casitas, private micro locations, a world class spa, travel and touring services, motorcycle rentals (both new and vintage units), vintage wines, cigar humidors, fine cuisine, concierge services, high-tech communication capabilities, picnic areas, sunrise and sunset viewing patios, a training and events arena, and 800 seat amphitheatre for outdoor concerts, a race track for vintage motorcycles and carts as well as a museum; all designed to architecturally blend with the region's natural scenic beauty."
Entrance into this upscale world requires a motorcycle license and a one time membership fee, along with a small yearly renewal. Each location will have 3000 Gold Memberships and an unspecified number of Associate (social) Memberships who will have partial use of the facilities. Members will also have reciprocal privileges at sister communities across the country.
Vintages Inc. flagship community is currently under construction on 200 acres in Datil, New Mexico, adjacent to the Cibola National Forest. Leith's comprehensive plan for the Datil location calls for the resort to be surrounded with exclusive residential homes, the aforementioned replica track (designed for both training and vintage events) and the motorcycle museum.
