The very long and very low formula of custom TV bikes before baggers reared their crazy big wheel heads is still on many peoples’ minds as the nee plus ultra of what a custom bike should be. Something that’s commanding to ride and where the front wheel reaches the stop sign long before you do. Something that’s going to cause a “Man, that’s a cool bike” comment every time you...

     The first look is shocking or captivating depending on your point of view about radical custom motorcycles that are seriously intended as showpieces more than cross-country jamming. My take on Wayne is that he is an imaginative, skilled, and believes anything is possible at least in his garage. There he works some cool old machines and a lot of handwork to come up with a bike...

   Not a bad deal if that’s your style and there are a lot of you out there that still like the look and feel of that stretched out chopper of pre-custom bagger days. Nothing wrong with that as even I have to admit the view from the cockpit of a long bike like this is pretty dramatic as you shift through the gears. There’s a lot to look at over the splayed bars with the long front...

   Personally, snakes and I are, well, I absolutely hate snakes and if they were all gone tomorrow I wouldn’t be upset. Others, including naturalists, environmentalists, and scientists, can give me a litany of reasons why snakes are good for the environment or whatever, but I’d rather live in a world without them and just take my snake-free chances. I have never understood any...

   When I saw the first photo of Parker Brothers Concepts Aluminati in Jack Cofano’s gallery of pics, I didn’t know what to think at first. I mean like, what’s the story here? Then with a tiny bit of investigation I found out it was made by Marc and Shannon Parker, brothers and co-owners of Parker Brothers Concepts in Cape Canaveral, Florida, who are known for thinking so far out...

     My advice to you is to stop reading and check out each and every Jack Cofano photo in the gallery and take the time to drink in the design and detailing Max put into this build he calls The Musket. This bike is nothing short of sensational on all counts from conception to completion. By my guess, there’s nothing here you’ve seen before done quite like this even though the...

    And, that’s exactly how this Ironman theme bike built by Stephen Galvan and the lads at Wikked Steel in St. Petersburg, Florida, ended up in Barnett’s Picasa site. Now before you go and get your panties in a wad over this not being a Harley, it’s the idea behind the bike and the execution of it that makes it worthy of taking front page on Barnett Harley-Davidson’s web site....

       What you might think of as a bitsa bike is so far from it that I’m surprised you might have thought that. This extremely unusual piece of engineering is not surprising when you find out that Wade’s day job is working as a fabricator/welder at Richard Childress Racing which for those that might not know is a NASCAR race team with over 200 NASCAR victories in a few different...

    Hold on a second there, now that I think about it the good old days of outrageous bikes like this pro street custom called Hushabye owned by Ronny Diesel (what a cool name) of Fort Mill, South Carolina, was like a decade ago. Like everything else outrageously custom (other than TV show theme bikes it seems), the times they were a changing. All of a sudden yesterday’s choppers...

    Oh it’s a flashy bike, no doubt about that, from the extreme dimensions to the fat rear tire to the bright yellow paint, but that’s not what makes the bike flashy to me. This isn’t the ‘if it won’t go, chrome it’ type of build, but a bike that has the heart and soul of an F-22 Raptor jet fighter sitting between its frame rails. No, there’s no afterburner-equipped turbofan Pratt...
