Besides being a custom bike that will surely catch your eye even if you’re a hardcore metric hater, the story behind it is pretty damn interesting. It’s about two guys, Izzy and Cookie, who just happen to be special forces spending a lot of time in forward positions calling in air strikes. For a day job, it’s quite a bit more harrowing than sitting in front of a computer writing...

  Sometimes what you see is what you get, but it’s not always as easy as that. Take one of the most misunderstood motorcycle brands of recent times, Buell motorcycles, and try to remember the last time you ran into one on the road. Unfortunately it’s not that often considering total Buell production numbered just over 137,000 bikes and that’s too bad. They were an interesting brand...

   What surprises me most is that I haven’t seen a Tom Brady bike, but Cam Newton seems to have a super fan in the form of a guy named Mitchell Anderson of Greensboro, North Carolina, who puts his football heart where his bike is. This very nice looking big wheel bagger is dedicated to Mr. Newton and even I can see that which is surprising because I see no other quarterback other...

    My last episode at age 12 of having anything to do with a horse did have one good aspect to it even if it was one of those backdoor things that led to something so much better than any horse. It was a summer Saturday morning and my father made me hop in the ’50 Ford woody wagon for a ride and I was hoping it wasn’t Saturday-morning horse related as usual. There was nothing I...

   Yes it is sir and it’s not because he’s found an untapped market or feels kids should have their own chopper to match dad’s or something. Nope, the story’s a lot simpler and kinda shows a soft(er) side to a hardcore guy. Actually it involves his son Axle Dodson who is around seven-years-old at this time and who’s already owned this highly modified 1999 Harley-Davidson Night...

       Ride with rugged style and customizable comfort in the new Men’s Passing Link Triple Vent System Leather Jacket (P/N 98074-14VM, $495.00) from the Harley-Davidson MotorClothes Collection. This mid-weight distressed cowhide leather motorcycle jacket has an oiled-canvas patch and embroidered graphics for vintage appeal.   Using the Triple Vent System a rider can adjust...

      Built by the crew at The Bike Exchange in Gastonia, North Carolina through their new custom division, BX Custom Designs, this FLTRX is actually a tribute bike (not a theme bike!) to the late Navy Seal sniper, Chris Kyle. Like Chris, it’s not over the top, but does its duty in a style that makes you respect what BX Custom Designs is all about. Solid, good looking custom...

   How much? Well let’s just say that the only wiring (or should I say ‘wire’) on the whole bike the owner could find was to air up the SAS-99 Air Ride System for show duty. Bike goes up, bike goes down ─ just don’t expect the big ass Ultima 127-inch engine with a MagnaCharger Supercharger towering up the right side to fire or even turn over. As you can imagine, wiring up a...

    What we’ve got here is one of Eddie’s Coke bottle-style designs where it’s pinched at the waist and gets all Kardashian at the back with a big ol’ 300mm back tire. The Eddie Trotta signature rigid frame stretches out sleekly and comfortably with an eye to riding. The clean and striking five-spoke 23” front wheel with a single-disc brake looks right and not like an insulting...

   Like I said, the orange caught me before being a trike did and maybe that’s what the lads at Speed Trix Motorcycles in St. André D’ Argenteuil, Quebec, Canada, were going for. Based around a late model Sportster, it’s got the vibe of something older while still appealing to the extrovert rider who wants something different. That it’s totally rideable even as an everyday...
