There are over 70 bikes that will be on displayed the next two days and that’s not counting the bikes I have selected for features in the future.           I would like to do features on a lot more of the bikes I shoot there, but unfortunately I have a hard time getting contact information for many of the bikes I photograph. If you see your bike here over the next few...

     The Modified Motorcycle Association of California was the host of this event held on Sunday, December 7th.  For days before the Sunday the weather was real iffy, vacillating between needed-precipitation and clearing. Finally on Saturday, the weather broke and we were off to Dixon and the day turned out just fine.     We got to the fairgrounds as vendors were arriving for the...

       The show had a very respectable $15,000 total prize payout that brought in a considerable number of bikes to the display floor. Not only were there many more bikes on display than last year, but it was also a first class setup with low entrance fees. Each bike had a place card showing much needed information we need to be able to do a feature article at Barnett’s Magazine...

               The event in Rockingham had a little bit of everything to entertain and amaze. They had drag races, XS Speed’s mini-bike races, bands, biker games and, of course, all the great garage-built choppers. How’s that for diversity? My only regret was that I missed the mini-bike races again. I heard they were a hoot. I get so psyched up with all the garage bikes everywhere...

              The Bikefest takes place on Fayetteville Street which is blocked off all the way to the Capital building. If that wasn’t enough, this year Ray added the Ray Price Motorsports Expo held in the Raleigh Convention Center. The Expo was the site of the bike show with $15,000 in prize money as well as vendors and entertainment. All of this was completely free of charge and...

I hope everyone has enjoyed the sixty-plus photos of all the show bikes on www.barnettsmagazine.com.      Custom bikes were not the only entertainment at the show. As you may have seen in the last few years in Charlotte there is also a car show, celebrities such as Full Throttle Saloon’s Michael and Angie Ballard, Mark Boone aka Bobby from Sons of Anarchy, and, of course, the...

     Half Moon Bay’s Festival of Magnificent Machines, “The Coolest Show on Earth” is always a great event even with traffics jams on CA 1’s two-lane road. I got there early, enjoyed the sea breeze and low-lying fog, and did the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event, but it was a lot of work so I took a nap after writing theses words and uploading words and images to...

       You’ve probably noticed the wide array of styles, power trains, and especially paintjobs that keep reaching for the stars and achieving it. I don’t mean to sound prejudiced, but there’s a whole new bunch of young builders who are twisting and tweaking old styles into something new and others who just create whole new categories. I know it’s hard to believe, but this job is...
