Actually, this was a repeat of last year and the same question, but I never take anything for granted especially after going to two out three events last year. Flat track racing was a must-see this year, but what I was really interested in was the 2016 Handbuilt Motorcycle Show put on by one of Austin’s own, Revival Cycles. This show which takes place in a giant Quonset-hut of a...

     When the condo-Nazis tried to eliminate Myrtle Beach Bike Week back in 2008, it almost destroyed one of the oldest and most popular bike rallies in the country (By the way this is the 78th  anniversary of Myrtle Beach Bike Week so it’s no Johnny-come-lately. Daytona just celebrated its 75th anniversary –ed.) . Many were angry and rightfully so. What the condo-Nazis didn’t...

    There was a bike show at Suck Bang Blow the day I was there and it was mostly custom Harley-Davidson baggers and believe me when I tell you there were a number of incredible builds on display. Unfortunately for my photo purposes, they were jammed in so tightly together it made it hard to get good photos so I just do the best I can.

From what I can tell, the 75th addition of the Daytona Bike Week was a resounding success. Unlike many years, I saw very few negative responses about the rally on Facebook. From what I gathered looking at online posts was that the first weekend almost looked like what the last weekend usually looks like. I think many people are taking advantage of the smaller crowds and lighter...

   Covering something as colossal in size as Daytona Bike Week is not for those heavy of foot. Barnett’s Magazine Online’s loquacious lens man, Mr. Jack Cofano, puts on the miles (seriously) so you don’t have to covering the event from every locale imaginable. Whether it’s bikes, people or shows, you’ll see the guy clicking away as he constantly moves from photo op to photo op and...

    There is never a shortage of bikes to be viewed in Daytona during Bike Week and this year was no different. As a matter of fact, there were so many baggers in the pavilion at the Harley shop on Friday that not only was I unable to photograph any of the great customs there, they were so close together you couldn’t even walk between them. Did I mention that pavilions are the...

   What makes this all the more interesting to me right now is that I’m not familiar with a lot of the builders. New (to me at least) builders have come out of their shops and garages with some of the most innovative customs as well as stunning takes on old styles and have given all of us a steady feed of gorgeous customs to stare at.   One thing that’s a bit surprising to me is...

    I hope y’all enjoy the artistry and mechanical design that goes into all the custom bikes you see. Whether you like or dislike any one build, you have to admire the talent it takes to create a one of a kind metal sculpture.

   Same goes for custom Harley-Davidsons today where readers and riders make their decision on what’s the best Harley and how to customize it properly or not. I’m more of a bobber guy than a big wheel bagger guy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t thoroughly check out someone’s custom bagger. I sincerely appreciate all the work that goes into any custom and applaud today’s builders for...

     Every year I see more and more ladies enjoying the rallies on their own terms, riding their own bikes and contributing to the overall atmosphere that we all know and love.      I’ve been asked many times why I mostly take photos of younger girls. Duh ─ need you ask? Seriously, the reason is that almost all the lovely ladies I photograph are working the booths and are more than...
