Possibly the best part of this whole deal for me was that Adam’s answers to my questions were so to the point, I thought I’d just do something a bit different and let the man himself tell it like it is without me jibber-jabbering away about squat. Hey, check it out for yourself below if you don’t believe me.    What is the primary object of your business?      I started O...

    In a rare move, the city has taken over the event, turning the entire town into a party. During Prohibition, the area was notoriously known as a hub for the production and risky distribution of illegal spirits. None other than the dastardly likes of Capone and his ilk were known to walk the same streets and back alleys as law biding bikers travel today.   The event attracted a...

  (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Singer, songwriter, entertainer and entrepreneur Toby Keith has taken his love of motorcycles to a new level as he partners with Brass Balls Cycles’ Dar Holdsworth as co-owner of the award-winning, Oklahoma City-based custom/production bike builder.

    He then forwarded me some interesting information that is really quite impressive. In 1872, Giovanni Battista Pirelli, a young engineer, founded Pirelli & C. in Milan at the age of twenty-four.

Initially, Walt and Arthur had different ideas about how this project should evolve with each getting in their licks on the final design. “I was hoping he was going to go all the way as I really wanted to build a pure salt flat race bike, no lights, no nothing, and he wanted a street bike,” said Walt. “He was contemplating getting an Evo motor for reliability, but I just couldn’t...

     Yeah this extreme-and-then-some custom bagger called Westcoast Thirty has features and styling cues that you expect in an all-out bagger today. You know, a big front wheel, extended bags, tail dragger fenders, wild bodywork, a sit-on-the-ground stance, and a paintjob you can’t miss, but there’s a couple you’d never guess. One basic one I didn’t see coming was that this...

For the umpteen time, Willie’s Tropical Tattoo in cooperation with The Horse Backstreet Choppers Magazine sponsors the semi-annual  Old School Choppers Show. I could write a whole bunch of crap about what a wonderful event, 175 bikes entered, record crowd, trophies, etc., but I thought it would be much more productive to shoot lots of photos. As they say, “a picture is worth...

  Will even wrote a piece about this dilemma of motorcycle versus art on his blog and here’s a piece of it. “The artistic form of the build must absolutely follow the engineered function of a motorcycle. You have to build a bike first! If function is thrown out the window in lieu of artistic expression then we are simply visual artists constructing metal sculptures. If someone...

    Like some sort of comic book superhero, Dalton’s got a cover-up day job working with his dad at Walker Welding in Hanford, California, making the bucks to live on I assume. But come the after hours, he runs his business, Split Image Customs, turning out a spate of stunning customs from Harleys to his latest knockout, a 1971 Triumph Daytona 500 that should make Triumph purists...
