Hopefully you’ve checked out Jack Cofano’s photo gallery as you’ve really got to see this baby close up for all the detail work and the unbelievable paintjob. Maybe the bike is not your cup of tea, but that shouldn’t keep you from admiring the time and effort Christian and John have poured into this build. The idea behind it was to make a bike that had the feel of a...

     Half Moon Bay’s Festival of Magnificent Machines, “The Coolest Show on Earth” is always a great event even with traffics jams on CA 1’s two-lane road. I got there early, enjoyed the sea breeze and low-lying fog, and did the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event, but it was a lot of work so I took a nap after writing theses words and uploading words and images to...

  Lucky 7 Motorsports in Rancho Cucamonga, California, was able to combine the looks and some of the handling characteristics of an imported sport bike with the low slung, muscular appearance of a hot rod American V-twin cruiser. Greg Handren, an employee at Lucky 7 Motorsports for almost four years, was one of the guys that helped lead their customer, Ted Williams, through the...

       You’ve probably noticed the wide array of styles, power trains, and especially paintjobs that keep reaching for the stars and achieving it. I don’t mean to sound prejudiced, but there’s a whole new bunch of young builders who are twisting and tweaking old styles into something new and others who just create whole new categories. I know it’s hard to believe, but this job is...

    Yes sir, life must be unbelievably good for Rick, but he doesn’t just sit back on his laurels and think about peanuts or something like I would if I were in his position. Nope, he’s at it again with a tastily customized version of the back-in-the-line-up-one-more-time 2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. Yeah, you got that right ─ 2015. Rick must have rolled it out of the crate...

    Justin and Jarrod Del Prado are those ‘mischievous lads’ who are constantly turning out one delectable (and affordable) custom out of their shop in New River, Arizona, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just buttoning up another as I write this. Anyway, the initial story behind this story was reported on by Barnett’s Magazine Online back in November of 2013 so if you’d...

    There are many people building bikes wiser, handier, and just plain smarter than me and Mark Tibbel and Michael D’Atri of Burnout Alley Motorcycle Garage in Aberdeen, North Carolina, are two of them. Our feature bike started out as a spic-and-span stock 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Standard before the Burnout boys got their groove going and ripped it apart to the bare frame....

     The way I see it, T.D. is the motorcycle equivalent of TV chef, Emeril Lagasse, famous for his “Kick it up a notch” and “Bam!!” catchphrase slogans. Working out of his St. Louis-based shop, Rides & Rods Motorcycle Company, I see T.D. mentally kicking his bobber called Golden Rod up a notch until, Bam! it became the overachiever 330mm fat rear tire bobber with a mutha of...

  They received a few different recommendations and after looking around and interviewing numerous people, they decided that Terry Faulkner, of Terry Faulkner Designs of Albemarle, North Carolina, was the right person to handle this project. Having seen some of his work before, they knew that Terry was extremely talented as a painter and fabricator. The bike quickly became a team...

    Actually I’m not sure why the Odham’s refer to their bike as a 2014 Road Glide as anything Harley-branded is only in spirit from what I can see. The frame and swingarm are from Paughco’s extensive parts inventory and set the tone for a reasonable custom wheel and tire upgrade/change. A set of Renegade Wheels’ Cinci model in a 23-inch up front with a matching rotor mirrored by...
