Now I know it’s kinda an insult to so focus on INK’s paintjob when Deadline spent so much time changing everything else they could to make this wild bagger including an engine that not only makes 148rwhp (and that’s not even firing off the additional 30hp shot of nitrous!), but it’s a stunner. Oh sure, Deadline stretched and raked the frame, changed or heavily modified every...

      There are over 70 bikes that will be on displayed this weekend and also Monday and that’s not counting the bikes I have selected for features in the future.     I would like to do features on a lot more of the bikes I shoot there but unfortunately I have a really hard time getting contact information for many of the bikes I photograph. If you see your bike here the next few...

      Our river walk along the Cape Fear River has been mentioned as one of the top riverfronts in the country and to have a car show among the old buildings along Front Street is a photographer’s dream.     Every year the show gets bigger and bigger and the class of cars entered gets better and better. There were over four city blocks along Front Street adorned with cars on both...

    What I’m looking at right now is a chopper built by the always lovely John Dodson of Gangster Choppers in Richmond, Virginia, and it is a chopper by anyone’s definition. Hey, it’s no big surprise that a business called Gangster Choppers of all things is making choppers and has been since like forever ─ or so it seems anyway. John loves his choppers and here’s one more example...

My season of event coverage always starts with the Easyriders Bike Show in Charlotte, North Carolina. I always look forward to seeing old friends and shooting some of the best custom bikes in the Northeast. I can always count on this show to supply me with dozens of future feature bikes as well as catching up with what’s going on with builders I am familiar with and admire. I think...

       Such is the case with this Ducati bobber that’s bob-bob-bobbed its way out of a shop known for Harley-Davidson builds especially of the vintage variety. Pat Tozzi of Green Devil Garage in Virginia Beach, Virginia, recently showed his Harley chops on Barnett’s Magazine Online with his 1969 Flatside Shovelhead Chopper in Copper feature article that was a wowza moment in atomic...

     One thing about this event is how well it’s run and the extreme enthusiasm of the organizers behind it. Led by Mary Compeau who Mitch can’t say enough good about, it’s got all the usual rally checklist features like a lot of motorcycles, (constant) live music, great watering holes, excellent food, bike builders, stunt shows, tattoo contests, poker runs, and vendors galore....

      Now that you’ve seen the photos, I bet you experienced a WTF? Moment like I did. From the right-side it’s a perfect picture of a well built Harley Shovelhead chopper that’s got the open road in its sights more than a rotating bike show stand. It’s tough, it’s cool and it looks like a bag of fun to ride. Obviously the owner feels that way too as the nicely kept engine shows...
