I have been taking these photos for quite a few years now and Myrtle Beach has always been one of my favorite places to shoot pictures. I am always impressed by how friendly the girls are and how they’re not full of themselves. It can be a hard, dangerous job asking a pretty lady for a picture when her steroid-addled-boyfriend Brutis is standing next to her. Here’s my...

  In the early ’70s he created and marketed the Windjammer Fairing which was the dominate fairing for years until Honda knocked off Craig’s design. Craig was an inventor and designer whose secret was that the Windjammer was a one-size-fits-all fairing. The secret was that Vetter made high-quality and easy-to-fit bolt-on bracket and attachment hardware for most bikes....

  According to the Sonny Production LLC.’s (“Your Original Official Guide to Bike Week Activities) website (www.myrtlebeachbikeweek.com), “Bike week is NOT in the city of Myrtle Beach. There are no bike week events in the city of Myrtle Beach. Many think that the city of Myrtle Beach is the Grand Strand —it is not. The city of Myrtle Beach is roughly 14-miles of the Grand Strand,...

It’s very common that the world’s best events are short, fast events. The Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel Valley, California, starts at 10am and ends at 3pm as does the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach, California. Willie’s show starts at noon and is over at 4pm which fits right in with the best venues as far as the length of show. As show time approaches,...

Normally Bike Week is celebrated the first week in March. This year’s Bike Week was moved back a week to accommodate the schedule change of the Daytona 500 which was held one week later this year. Good thing too as the weather could not have been dialed in any better. You can complain about the heat all you want but it sure beats rain and cold. For the next few days I will be...

The show visits 12 cities in four months as part of the Progressive International Motorcycle Shows. I am proud to announce that the 2012 Grand National Champion of the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike United States Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida, is Jeremy Cupp of LC Fabrications from Mount Crawford, Virginia, with his 1976 Harley-Davidson XL. The other big winner in the...

Since I really enjoy this part of my job, go figure, I had to call him out on it. If he tries that crap again I’m going to pull his green card. Send him back to France with his tail between his legs. I could have written the whole article in French myself in three words — Ooh La La! That pretty much sums up the Lovely Ladies of Daytona Bike Week. I put a lot of time and sweat...

  Many of the customs that you see here you will also see at the Rat’s Hole Show, which is coming up next on our photo intense coverage. So if you don’t see your bike here, there is a good chance you will see it in our next posting. I try to shoot as many bikes as I can but if I missed some it’s only because they tend to put the bikes a little too close together to get a decent...

  This show is also my favorite because I get to talk to a lot of the people that I know and only get to see a few times a year. One of those people is Steve Galvin of Wikked Steel who received the honor of Best of Show. Steve comes up with some crazy unique designs that baffle the imagination and this year was no exception. I understand that some people had a problem with the...
