Ever since his unfortunate passing over eight years ago, people have been making Indian Larry tribute bikes. Some are good, some just okay, and some have been simply terrible. Luckily there’s still an option of getting the real thing or as absolutely close to the real thing as humanly possible. Bobby and Elisa Seeger worked alongside Larry through thick and thin and have strongly...

It wasn’t always Corné’s intention to take it this far as he was actually building this as a daily rider for his wife Celeste. Like all things motorcycle, it started to get more involved on Day 2 and things just spiraled from there. “I’ve always wanted to build a bike from the ground up and with her wanting something like a bobber, the bike seemed a really good fit for her,” said...

Taber makes it sound so simple, but it takes a brave, talented, or crazy individual (or any combo) to execute a radical design like this to completion. Making it even nuttier is that it’s not just a static demonstration of what Nash can do with metal, but this bike spends the better portion of it’s time being ridden. The fresh-out-of-high-school original owner, Austin Hunziker,...

There are so many things to like about Best of Luck, Mark was hard pressed to settle upon just one. “It’s just a nice little around-town bobber you can cruise around on with no trouble,” Mark said. “I really like it, it’s a nice running bike. I like the little spring seat, it takes the shock out of the ride. It’s really a fun bike.” To get this raffle on the road, the Shadleys...

Brothers Jason and Wayne Ahlquist are the principals behind Acme and have been turning out sweet rides along with a steadily growing parts business going on seven years with no end in sight. “This bike was built as a showcase for a lot of our new parts. It’s got our frame, triple trees, handlebars, risers, and our oil tank kit,” said Wayne. “Just about anything we make, we threw at...

  Now there’s a good chance you might have seen this Rick Fairless bike before (or at least think you did) as it’s been around and about for about seven years give-or-take, but it still looks fresh and right on trend today. The tie-die paintjob is as builder-recognizable as flat black and the lack of chrome is for a certain Mr. Mitchell and both schemes have aged well considering...

  What Kustom Inc. has accomplished here is quite a testament to Gary and Julie, but also to a few other players like the always lovable Ron Finch, Chop Docs Choppers, and a few other side players. It takes a village (I think someone already said something like that, sorry) to build a very, very special one-off in a short period of time. They’re all part of the Michigan Mafia of...

  Paul Cavallo, owner of Spitfire Motorcycles in lovely Rancho Cucamonga, California, is obviously okay with his manhood and loves this 1975 Ironhead-powered custom he calls Jolie Rouge. Without getting too deep on all of this, Jolie Rouge does not refer to a certain Mr. Pitt’s cuter half, but to a term (beautiful red) associated with real pirates way, way back in the real pirate...

  Yeah, try juggling all that stuff and be as motorcycle prolific, tasteful, and aesthetic-defined as Mr. Randolph. His bikes aren’t cookie-cutters, but you can tell a KO bike from a block away. Just like it says on his website (www.knockoutcycles.com), “From the kicker pedal to the oil bag to the signature 2-into-1 exhaust, if Ralph’s name’s on it, you can bet that what you’re...
