The Quail Motorcycle Gathering 2011
The world’s strangest Harley-Davidson vehicle was on display owned by a guy from Petaluma, California—a little white open car with an early Harley engine in it made in Milwaukee and San Francisco for a World’s Fair. Willie G. Davidson said when he saw it his grandpa had mentioned it, but he knew nothing about it. One thing for sure, it is an extremely rare Harley-Davidson product....
The Legend Lives on: Brighton Cafe Racer Meet
Attending one of these events is like taking a trip back in time to when the British bike industry ruled the world with such glorious names as Triumph’s Bonneville, BSA’s Gold Star, Vincent’s Black Shadow, and the Triton.

Shawn Hutchinson’s Iron Horse Texas Chopper Last of a Dying Breed

He has a tendency to buy bikes that he loves, and though he’s almost completely pleased with them, his mind soon begins to churn with ideas, tiny improvements, little ways to improve upon what he considers an almost flawless piece of machinery.
Case in point: His 2008 Iron Horse. It’s a...

As I said yesterday about biker friendly Eureka Springs, Arkansas, it’s a quirky little place. It’s hard to miss the seven-story, two-thousand pound concrete statue of Jesus that overlooks the town. Victorian-era houses and businesses are built right into the sides of steep...

Las Vegas flat track races, South Point Casino, January 7-8, 2011
Story by Eric Bass Photos by Dennis Suter {phocagallery view=categories|categoryid=778|imagecategories=0|}
Flat track racing on polished concrete has been an established form of the sport dating back to its glory days as a featured event at Madison Square Garden. But to my mind, glassy smooth concrete and flat track racing would seem to go together about as well as denim jeans...
