Joe’s first bike was a dead stock 1995 Wide Glide that he rode for a very short time before the Harley customizing bug bit him hard. “At first I started to add little things, but then I wanted more, something different” said Joe. “Ever since I was 12 or 13 I was working on cars, never went to any school for it or anything, it just came pretty natural for me to work on Harleys...

That’s not always the case as you can easily see in the Dyna makeover called The Beach Cruiser by Ric Greene, owner of Southeast Custom Cycles in Concord, North Carolina. One look and it’s obvious this is no Heidi Montag surgical aberration of a perfectly good, but often unappreciated Harley Big Twin. Ric’s taken a Plain Jane Super Glide and turned it into a sexy supermodel without...

       Go ahead and take a good look at Jack Cofano’s always lovely photo gallery and see what you think about this nice looking ride built by Robert Snipes and crew at Snipes Machine in Kershaw, South Carolina. Maybe I’m just getting a bit jaded after seeing so many 30-inchers along with the occasional 32-incher dominating the front end of so many custom baggers. Or, maybe the 26...

       Well if you’re thinking about taking this angle, you’re a day late and a big wheel short. Yup, Garrett Onetime Lewis and David Crabill of One Time Customs in China Grove, North Carolina, beat you to the punch with a 30-inch front wheel that looks like it was designed for street magician David Blaine to use in his next show. Hey, I don’t mean to take away any of the hard work...

   The Ray Price Capital City Bikefest and the Motorsports Expo took place on September 23-25 not only in downtown Raleigh, but also at the Ray Price Harley-Davidson dealership.    There was a lot going on throughout the weekend including the bike show, sound-off competition, free concerts, stunt shows, parades and rides as well as the 6th Annual Tattoo Fest for Charity. This rally...

     In the case of our feature bike by Tim Firstenberger of Little Comfort Customs in Sarasota, Florida, this 2001 Buell Lightning was struck by something other than lightning, apparently some kind of vehicle. But, it did leave a fine donor engine for Tim to work his magic around and that’s just peachy for the rest of us. In case Tim’s name strikes a bell, you might remember we...

            My only regret is that I didn’t start this photo gig in my twenties. I might have even had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting to know one of these lovely ladies a little better. Yea, like that would have happened!

Even though he’s a mystery owner, I was able to trace down someone who had done a little repair work on this bike who had the wrong answer to my question about the bike and owner. All I could find out was that this dynamite hot rod of a Sportster was unfortunately totaled not long after it was finished by an idiot motorist. Man, that makes me more than a little sad as I really was...

   B.K.’s mental itching finally came to a close when he finished building the classic Old School chop you’re looking at right here. That’s not too much of a surprise as just about all of us would love to have a beefy old chopper to muck about on and not go anyplace in particular. Just sit back and take in the Old School vibes that we’d all love to believe we’d adore. But, that was...

In an occasional meet during work hours, Marco was talking to us about his trip to New Braunfels, Texas.  Not only did Marco enjoy riding but he had a purpose in visiting a little town outside of San Antonio.  He was checking out a chopper show hosted at River Road Icehouse called the Giddy Up Texas Vintage Chopper Show.  http://www.giddyuptx.com/  Marco Del Campo is a technician...
