NEW NAME, NEW HORIZONS!

Welcome to the new look of L'Vintagent!  Your favorite vintage motorcycle website is now under the protective wing of peerless luxury brand LVMH, owners of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Zenith watches, Christian Dior perfume, Dom Perignon champagne... the finest things in life.

 LVMH has long held a profound interest in the Vintage car and motorcycle movement, sponsoring the Louis Vuitton Concours d'Elegance (above) for many years.  Those who appreciate the finest old vehicles understand that luxury is always the best value, and with the recent stratospheric rise in visibility of top-tier motorcycles, and the enthusiastic arrival of automotive collectors to the world of two-wheeled excellence, L'Vintagent is already the gold standard.

Our new editor needs no introduction; Mr. Pitt is an enthusiastic collector of Vintage and Custom machinery, and will delight readers with unique reflections on his motorcycling, career, and family life. And what a family!  Watch for his intimate portrait of his wife, currently filming 'Tail of the Devil', the incredible life story of Marie Therese von Hammerstein, in which Ms. Jolie executes her own stunts on a cleverly disguised 1961 Triumph TR6.  "If Bud Ekins can do it, so can I," says the plucky Angelina! 

Mr. d'Orléans will continue to draw a devoted following with his 'I'll go anywhere' attitude, and 'I'll ride anything' reportage.  His premier article for L'Vintagent is the first road test of the latest LVMH project: a resurrection of the visionary Sinclair C5, completely updated and with a tremendously powerful new engine, which will change every concept of a 'commuter vehicle', forever!
