About Salty Cycles
Niche Motorcycles, apparel, & autos
Salty Cycles existence is more about people than what we sell. Sure, we have cool bikes, apparel, autos and many other motorcycle related items, but that's not really what this is about. We are working towards creating a missing link in our community. Hutchinson needs a monthly venue for ride-in events like many of our small neighboring communities already have. See more about this effort on the 2 wheeler park tab at the top of our home page. So its not about a get rich scheme, far from it, I have a full time job, its about funding the fellowship of all our local bikers. So if you choose to buy a shirt or anything else in our offerings, just know you are supporting my efforts to make this all happen.
