The GEICO bike has been on constant show duty since its completion way back in June of 2012 and not just at motorcycle shows, but military installations and happenings everywhere. The bike and its huge personal trailer that is wrapped in an even more huge likeness of the bike have probably put on more miles and garnered more smiles than any old “yesterday’s” custom still on the...

     I took a quick look at Max and his ashen-face told it all. Maybe I had gone too far and maybe I should apologize to him for being so stupid before it all went to hell in a handbag. On the other hand, I’m kinda confident I can get through this and concentrate on keeping that gussied-up convertible K-car POS in one piece all the way to the bottom. When we finally stopped sliding...

       Well if you’re an ex-F1 pilot with 24 F1 races under your belt like Brazil’s Tarso Marques, that something could be possibly the last thing you’d expect. Maybe something possibly as far away from race cars with all their sophistication and electronics like our feature bike you’ve already checked out and given your personal yea or nay to. Yeah, this bike could be a polarizing...

    One thing I should mention right up front is that this bike doesn’t have a piece of composite material other than the sportbike windscreen and the headlight. This is a “steel is real” build and what a nice bit of sheet metal work it is. Dave and Kyle Green of DG Custom Cycle in Aylmer, Ontario, Canada, wouldn’t have it any other way. DG Custom’s owner/fabricator/dad Dave had a...

            Sam explained the how’s and why’s of the build to begin with. “The bike was built by Jimmy Todorovitch of Profile Cycles in Beaumont, California over a two-and-a-half year period. Jimmy works during the day at Quaid Harley-Davidson in Loma Linda, California, as the service manager and at night he works out of his garage turning out custom bikes. This is the third bike...

       What “that thing” is is a 1973 Triumph engine that found itself ripped out of its old home and, after being totally refurbished to a high-degree of twin-cylinder jewelry that wouldn’t surprise me if it had Tiffany & Co. stamped on it instead of Triumph, stuffed into a long and low NorCal-style digger frame. In case this digger-style of bike is not familiar to you, think...

       Now before you get all hot and bothered about how this custom is not the ticket for a NYC to LA ride, I’ll put it right up front and state this is really intended to be a show bike. Not that it’s not been ridden, but it’s not been ridden much. First and foremost, this is Brian’s tribute to his bros in the military and even more specifically so to the top secret intelligence...

    What you’ve got to do is click on the link here and see Mr. Tooley explain the ideas behind his bike called Scarab one at a time. A handful of supposedly real Egyptian artifacts including stuff with a link to Cleopatra (watch that video and decide for yourself) are showcased throughout the bike along with enough ancient Egyptian references in the unbelievable paintjob to make...

    In case any of this seems rather familiar, that’s because Barnett’s Magazine Online featured another one of Todd’s unique takes on building an ultra custom bike recently and that got a lot of readers kinda hot under the collar. When ever somebody takes a different approach on what’s considered okay or cool, everybody’s got to start pounding on their keyboards why it’s not right...

     If I was keeping a check list of what made a custom bike cool and hip just a few short years ago, this bike would have checked all the right boxes. Long-check. Low-check. Radical-check. Not a custom bagger – check. Big-inch show-polished engine-check. LOUD pipes – check. Unbelievable sheetmetal work-check. Billet and then some more billet – check. Super-wide rear tire-check....
