We’ve featured the work of Court House Custom’s Jason Stritenberger and D.J. Jenkins on a couple of previous occasions and their combination of affordable customs and one-off high-style rides from the same shop definitely appealed to a lot of readers. Now, they’ve upped the custom ante a bit with this tough little bastard of a Brit bobber. Not only is this Triumph a real...

     The Shining Twin started out as a 1967 Triumph T100C basket case project. I had been envisioning this bike for a few years prior to building it and what you see is the culmination of my personal taste, style, and craftsmanship and a passion for all things vintage. The front frame loop is a stock Triumph T100 with an unknown (maybe Paughco?) 2″-stretch/2″-drop...

              Whether you like Huxley’s unlikely choice of a 1986 Honda CB700SC Nighthawk or not, you’ve got to appreciate the hard work and long hours that went into making something cool out of something that probably should have been thrown away because of its condition. “I bought it as a mess and it took approximately three months to get it into shape. I’m in the army at Fort...

  What’s in a name you say? Well anyone familiar with English motorcycles learns to have a love/hate relationship with the name Lucas as in Joe Lucas the famed British Prince of Darkness. Maybe, just maybe, Lucas was destined to forgo a possible huge career in show business or NASCAR because of his love of working on and developing special parts for Old Blighty’s two wheeled...

    There were lots of design features that made a Nimbus pretty special besides being Danish like an inline 750cc four-cylinder mounted longitudinally in the flat metal strapping (or what appears to be metal strapping) frame. Actually, there’s a lot of flat metal used throughout the bike instead of castings or tubing including those wild handlebars that were probably never...

    With that “I coulda had a BMW” thing straightened out, the next obvious question is “Okay then, what is a KS 601?” Well laddies and lassies, it’s a 597cc 28hp flat twin with an extreme amount of similarities to a contemporary Bimmer with a couple of obvious design differences like a telescoping front end to BMW’s Earles fork, and, ah, well, some other slight noticeable...

      What Mark started with and what he ended up with are two totally different things. He began with what was probably the epitome of an ‘80s UJM (universal Japanese motorcycle), a 1982 Suzuki GS 1100. After a hell of a lot of tweaking, it was no longer universal in any way, but a non-stock ride that Jack Cofano shot at this year’s BikeWeek Boardwalk Show. Pulling off a build...

     Actually, there’s an interesting story behind all of this as Terry is not only well known for his wild American V-twin customs, including our recently featured radical Buell café-style bit of brutality. This Honda chop was built as a tribute bike to an old friend of Terry’s who has passed on to the perfect riding roads of the afterlife. According to Terry, “This bike and build...

     Possibly the best part of this whole deal for me was that Adam’s answers to my questions were so to the point, I thought I’d just do something a bit different and let the man himself tell it like it is without me jibber-jabbering away about squat. Hey, check it out for yourself below if you don’t believe me.    What is the primary object of your business?      I started O...

    Like some sort of comic book superhero, Dalton’s got a cover-up day job working with his dad at Walker Welding in Hanford, California, making the bucks to live on I assume. But come the after hours, he runs his business, Split Image Customs, turning out a spate of stunning customs from Harleys to his latest knockout, a 1971 Triumph Daytona 500 that should make Triumph purists...
