To kill a day, I tripped up to the revived ghost town of Jerome, Arizona, over the 158 curves in 12 miles on the Mingus Mountain Drive just down the road from the Red Rock Country of Sedona, Arizona. Jerome is a popular biker escape from the terrible Phoenix heat with Spirit Room, a biker friendly bar to hang out in. One little note here, don’t try to ride back down the...

So it seems like there were motorcycles hidden around every corner and even on display outside near a front-engined Corvair! Check the photo. A beautifully restored Panhead, a Arlen Ness ’57 Chevy-themed bike plus many others. Ya just had to walk and look to find them. Which I did and I ain’t getting mileage!

     Hey, I gotta bitch about something.

              This year’s winner was Rick Bray from California-based RKB Kustom Speed who was unanimously voted the winner by his peers and owns the bragging rights along with a check for $10,000. Other winners included People’s Choice winner, Chop Docs, as well as South Bay Customs taking home the Editors Choice award.             As far as I am concerned, all 20 bikes were...

  Among the artists featured at the show, the lineup included George Frizell aka George the Painter, Kayla Koeune of Inferno Studios, and three Cycle Source alumni ─Darren McKeag, Seth Leibowitz, and, of course, Chris Callen. I’m not sure if there is anything that Chris doesn’t excel in. He’s got an amazing amount of talent for one man, but I bet he can’t dance. Other than photos,...

  I was recently asked why I don’t photograph some of the more mature ladies at the rallies and shows. Simple, the girls that I do photograph work in one way or another at the shows and part of their job is to be available for photos. I always ask permission before I take anyone’s photo and the girls are always happy to pose for a good picture. On the other hand when I used to...

         Held in various venues from one end of town to the other under different promoters in the Ruidoso area over the years, the present incarnation, the Golden Aspen Rally, is at the Inn of The Mountain Gods on the Mescalaro Apache Reservation, the ancestral home of Geronimo. Now you can lose your money with an unregulated casino or visit one of the three lawyer referral...

    In a rare move, the city has taken over the event, turning the entire town into a party. During Prohibition, the area was notoriously known as a hub for the production and risky distribution of illegal spirits. None other than the dastardly likes of Capone and his ilk were known to walk the same streets and back alleys as law biding bikers travel today.   The event attracted a...

              With more than 200 quality vendors, concerts, and of course the Artistry in Iron invitational bike show these are just few of the events held during the weekend for your enjoyment. This year all events were held at the Cashman Center including concerts by Joe Nichols, Foghat, and Blue Oyster Cult.             Event producer Mindi Cherry expected around 35,000 people...
