The name Propaganda Motorcycles was inspired by two different experiences. The main inspiration was from my time in the U.S. Air Force as a Russian translator. I was surrounded daily by two different outlooks of politics and people. Each side had their own opinion or "propaganda" to further. The second happened when several customers were at my shop, and an argument broke out, nearly to physical violence about which motorcycle brand was the best. I broke up the argument and told both sides it doesn't matter what you ride as long as you enjoy riding and bring your motorcycle needs to me.
