Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith fame, is branching out into the motorcycle industry. Tyler, along
with his partners renowned engineer Mark Dirico and Stephen Talarico of AC Custom
Motorcycles, launched Redwing Motorcycles in 2007, and they are in Sturgis this year to
network with domestic dealers and get their name out. Tyler has been doing meet-and-greets
at Thunder Road near Glencoe Camp Resort to promote his new motorcycle line, for which he
has had a heavy design influence. Tyler explained that the goal of his new line is to provide
motorcycles that look and feel good, but that are also very reliable. Redwing Motorcycles,
which debuted in 2007, are distributed around the world, and the company's goal at Sturgis is
to network with domestic dealerships.  Go to
