This year’s winner was Rick Bray from California-based RKB Kustom Speed who was unanimously voted the winner by his peers and owns the bragging rights along with a check for $10,000. Other winners included People’s Choice winner, Chop Docs, as well as South Bay Customs taking home the Editors Choice award.             As far as I am concerned, all 20 bikes were...

  Among the artists featured at the show, the lineup included George Frizell aka George the Painter, Kayla Koeune of Inferno Studios, and three Cycle Source alumni ─Darren McKeag, Seth Leibowitz, and, of course, Chris Callen. I’m not sure if there is anything that Chris doesn’t excel in. He’s got an amazing amount of talent for one man, but I bet he can’t dance. Other than photos,...

  I was recently asked why I don’t photograph some of the more mature ladies at the rallies and shows.

A beautifully restored Panhead, a Arlen Ness ’57 Chevy-themed bike plus many others. Ya just had to walk and look to find them. Which I did and I ain’t getting mileage!

     Hey, I gotta bitch about something.
