   There are also booths displaying the latest in riding gear, performance parts and a variety of other motorcycle related products. One of my favorite displays was a slot car track that allowed spectators to race around the track with either autos or motorcycles. It would look great in my house if I tore down a few walls and removed my kitchen.     This particular show took place...

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s all a bit complicated when you think about it so don’t. Okay, here’s the Reader’s Digest version. DP and Local had a design competition where one person’s design was chosen and built by DP for sale on Local Motors online store. The winner, a Mr. Andre “Lude” Costa of Portugal, received a couple of grand for his efforts and tons of online notoriety. What...

       Tim Sutton’s 2011 Street Glide feature bike is a custom bagger that tries to bridge the gap between crazy custom and show room fresh with a sophisticated approach. What’s sophisticated got to do with it when a lot of what he’s done is basically replacing or modifying just about every stock piece he could with something he liked better. The sophisticated part is that he...

  The inspiration for this vintage build was to create something that would show his respect and admiration for his dad, Bernie Walksler, who has encouraged and supported him throughout his career. It all started a couple of years ago when Dale discovered a pile of rare 1936 Knuckle parts at a swap meet. Using an early Harley-Davidson VL frame and the legendary 1936 Knucklehead...

“Mad Mike” Hughes will be jumping his steam powered rocket cycle as far and high as Evel Knievel once attempted over 40 years ago when he tried to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.  Hughes, famous for his record breaking stretch limo jump in 2002, will attempt to break Knievel’s failed Snake River Canyon jump by going 275 mph, propelling himself over 1000 feet high for a...

    There were lots of design features that made a Nimbus pretty special besides being Danish like an inline 750cc four-cylinder mounted longitudinally in the flat metal strapping (or what appears to be metal strapping) frame. Actually, there’s a lot of flat metal used throughout the bike instead of castings or tubing including those wild handlebars that were probably never...

    Yup, this over-the-top-as-usual Camtech Custom Baggers’ custom bagger has a rather large, but rather clear front wheel. Yeah, I know it’s been done before, but somehow when you see it (especially in person) it still has a lot of shock value. Something doesn’t look right because it doesn’t look wrong. All the components like brakes, tire, rim, and fender are there, but how the...
