Whether or not this bike does see any off-road action is debatable and up to its owner, Joe Fratis who just happens to be the V-twin brand manager at cable and tool maker, Motion Pro (www.motionpro.com). Obviously this is a nice draw to any display Motion Pro does and also a good showcase for their products along with a laundry list of other companies like S&S, BAKER, Ride...

  Yeah, try juggling all that stuff and be as motorcycle prolific, tasteful, and aesthetic-defined as Mr. Randolph. His bikes aren’t cookie-cutters, but you can tell a KO bike from a block away. Just like it says on his website (www.knockoutcycles.com), “From the kicker pedal to the oil bag to the signature 2-into-1 exhaust, if Ralph’s name’s on it, you can bet that what you’re...

  Papa Clutch Customs (www.papaclutchcustoms.com) out of Ainsworth, Iowa, really had a feel for bringing the pretty to what could have been a gritty bobber.

In so many ways this bike looks like it might have been time-traveled...

So smitten was he that he offered the Pan’s owner his nice running Evo-powered hard tail (www.barnettsmagazine.com/component/k2/item/2907-shaun-ponte-hardcore-evo.html) straight across for the Pan. The deal was done and the next day Shaun shows up at Tropical Tattoo with his van containing the Panhead. He rolls it out and goes to start it. After kicking it for a bit the engine...

  Believe it or not, this Restamod began life as a shell of a 1977 FLH restoration project that had somehow survived a garage fire before Joe got his hands on the charred remains. “I wanted to perform a matching numbers, non-period perfect restoration and showcase the fact you don’t have to rake and stretch a frame or use an aftermarket frame to achieve a hot rod-feel motorcycle,”...
