Rick Salisbury has one goal — for his Legends Motorcycle [Museum] in Springville to become a destination for bikers. How does one make a biker tourist spot? Vintage motorcycles. Salisbury has more than 150 antique and vintage bikes on display, including his prize possession, which Salisbury added just a few months ago. It is a 1907 Harley-Davidson strap tank, one of only three in existence.
Strap Tank Express in St. George is the next chapter in Rick Salisbury’s vision to create destination-driven hospitality rooted in craftsmanship, history, and approachability. Designed as a streamlined, fast-moving counterpart to Strap Tank Brewery, Strap Tank Express delivers the soul of the original brewpub—vintage motorcycle culture, house-crafted beer, and unmistakable character—without the formality or wait.
Blending the charm and accessibility of Sidecar Cafe with the DNA of Strap Tank, the space is built for locals and travelers alike—those looking for quality food, a great drink, and an experience that feels intentional but effortless. Strap Tank’s signature beers are available, allowing guests to enjoy the same craftsmanship that helped define the brand, just in a more efficient, everyday format.
Inside Strap Tank Express lives Rust & Roast Coffee, the brand’s take on coffee—bold, straightforward, and built for people on the move. Rust & Roast is designed around speed, consistency, and quality, serving well-crafted coffee without pretension, while staying true to the industrial, vintage-inspired spirit that runs through all Salisbury concepts. Together, Strap Tank Express and Rust & Roast Coffee offer a downsized but fully realized experience: fast, welcoming, and unmistakably Strap Tank.
