In my opinion, there’s a lot of that razzle-dazzle going on right here with this gemlike Harley-Davidson Pan/Shovel chopper built by Jon Shipley of Hoosier Daddy Choppers in Bloomfield, Indiana. Everywhere you look and I mean everywhere, there’s something kinda crazy cool going on that’s all working in harmonious discord to bring this build together as really something...

      The talented guy behind this build is Derek Spitsnogle, owner of Xotic Customs in Lincoln, Nebraska, whom we’ve featured before with a striking build for the well known character/emcee of Full Throttle Saloon, Gregg “The Goat” Cook. Funnily enough it’s called the Goat Glide and had a great amount of reader interest. Click on the link Goat Glide and see for yourself. But, that...

     That’s exactly the same thing Todd Anglani’s got going on heading up After Hours Bikes in Cooper City, Florida. Like Larry and Russell, Todd’s come up with a high-tech rat bike style I’d have to call his own and owns it he does. I’m sure he has to endure a lot of strange looks and the occasional verbal confrontation about his work, but he keeps on creating bikes that are like...

     The first look is shocking or captivating depending on your point of view about radical custom motorcycles that are seriously intended as showpieces more than cross-country jamming. My take on Wayne is that he is an imaginative, skilled, and believes anything is possible at least in his garage. There he works some cool old machines and a lot of handwork to come up with a bike...

    The very long and very low formula of custom TV bikes before baggers reared their crazy big wheel heads is still on many peoples’ minds as the nee plus ultra of what a custom bike should be. Something that’s commanding to ride and where the front wheel reaches the stop sign long before you do. Something that’s going to cause a “Man, that’s a cool bike” comment every time you...

   When I saw the first photo of Parker Brothers Concepts Aluminati in Jack Cofano’s gallery of pics, I didn’t know what to think at first. I mean like, what’s the story here? Then with a tiny bit of investigation I found out it was made by Marc and Shannon Parker, brothers and co-owners of Parker Brothers Concepts in Cape Canaveral, Florida, who are known for thinking so far out...

   Personally, snakes and I are, well, I absolutely hate snakes and if they were all gone tomorrow I wouldn’t be upset. Others, including naturalists, environmentalists, and scientists, can give me a litany of reasons why snakes are good for the environment or whatever, but I’d rather live in a world without them and just take my snake-free chances. I have never understood any...

   Not a bad deal if that’s your style and there are a lot of you out there that still like the look and feel of that stretched out chopper of pre-custom bagger days. Nothing wrong with that as even I have to admit the view from the cockpit of a long bike like this is pretty dramatic as you shift through the gears. There’s a lot to look at over the splayed bars with the long front...

     My advice to you is to stop reading and check out each and every Jack Cofano photo in the gallery and take the time to drink in the design and detailing Max put into this build he calls The Musket. This bike is nothing short of sensational on all counts from conception to completion. By my guess, there’s nothing here you’ve seen before done quite like this even though the...

       What you might think of as a bitsa bike is so far from it that I’m surprised you might have thought that. This extremely unusual piece of engineering is not surprising when you find out that Wade’s day job is working as a fabricator/welder at Richard Childress Racing which for those that might not know is a NASCAR race team with over 200 NASCAR victories in a few different...
