This loving ode to Denver came about after Paul took possession of the original Freight Train built by Denver not long after the wild and whacky 1970s had come to a close. It was a bit worse for wear after sitting out and about for decades, but it was still all there and inspired Paul to build not a replica or a clone, but a modern chopper truly honoring the work of Mr....

     Allegedly, this year’s show was bigger, more products, more buyers, more media, blah, blah, blab . . .  I believe it. Between the venues at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Expo Center, there are millions of square feet of exhibits. It seems to have grown larger than the exhibit areas quite a bit as they’ve run out of room inside the massive venues....

But just in case your factory bagger is not exactly what you want, you can always do like Horace “Dollar Bill” Griffin did, and customize it to your very own personal standards. Back in 2005, Horace walked into Fort Washington Harley-Davidson and bought himself a brand new Electra Glide Classic in Sunglo Blue. “I was very excited buying and owning my first Harley-Davidson...

     I mention this because unlike guys, who couldn’t care what they look like, women are usually conscience of their looks. Not an easy task at a rally that has no showers, no shade, and all of the above weather conditions. The hardcore ladies of Smoke Out couldn’t care less. They know what they are getting into when they arrive and if they didn’t, they find out soon enough....

     Yes sir, as you can clearly see there’s not a bag in sight and that’s okay by me. This absolutely lovely board track-inspired bike is as clean as a whistle and looks like a fun runner too. I just wanted to illustrate that Joey and his crew are not a one-trick pony, but a Winston-Salem, North Carolina, shop that can turn out any style of bike and make it their own. Like a...

   Larry is a  guy with many vices from boats to getting plans and building his own bi-plane that he’s flown coast to coast to coast with FAA certification and paid for by Larry’s incredible store, repair shop, used parts emporium and junkyard. Larry has it all.      You walk into the shop from the front parking lot and it seems to be your normal accessory store. But,...

       There’s just something special about a build that incorporates what we love about real Old School choppers from start to finish and Thad’s bike has that in spades. Yeah, it was photographed at an Easyriders Show, but I’m going out on a limb here and saying this bike is eventually (if not already) going to see some serious street time. Now just to be clear, I’m not...

   The similarities between custom bikes and custom cars are so one in the same that they begin to feed off of each other for new ideas or reinterpretations of old ideas. The end result is mind blowing whether the vehicle has two wheels or four and the “must have” quotient is pretty much the same for me. I’m just trying to figure out how I can have both types in my stable and not...
