The bike is named Devil and it belongs to Logan now, but it’s been in his family for 15 years, belonging first to his uncle and then rebuilt for Logan as a race bike. Most of the work has been done on his family’s bull and horse rodeo stock ranch, The Bar J, in Mannford.

  The majority of Hank’s motorcycles, including his latest, ACES and EIGHTS, take their inspiration from the past. “This bike is a little different than what I normally build. I had a customer, Jon Bateman from Bakersfield, California, who was really interested in the late Sixties era of drag racing,” said Hank. So with a neat idea to build on and a client who was thinking on the...

  There was a time when the walls of Mecrin were shaken by different vibrations. During WW I it was part of the Western Front and it’s less than nine miles to the biggest WW I memorial for American troops who fought the Germans here in 1918. Out on the western shore of the river Maas, the first verse of the German national anthem still echoes in peoples’ memories. That might be the...
