All you have to do to understand what I’m saying is to take a good look at Jack Cofano’s photos of George’s latest drag-inspired build he calls Thugnificent and then look even closer. Even the details of details have details. That’s a lotta details and a lotta work, imagination and effort on George’s part and that’s something he never, ever shies away from no matter what he’s...

   At Barnett’s Magazine Online, we have lots of photo galleries that are defined according to a type or style of bike ranging from baggers to bobbers and everything else in between. Sometimes it takes a bit of brain matter to figure out where they might fit in the best as some bikes kinda overlap categories. With today’s feature bike, there wasn’t a millisecond of thinking...

       Sometimes, though, the need for more copper might just come from the brain even though there are no studies that show the need. Maybe the need for copper just might be on a totally cerebral level. If I ever get a chance, I should ask the copper expert, Pat Tozzi of Green Devil Garage in Virginia Beach, Virginia, who built this copper chopper for your viewing pleasure. Pat...

     This is not Will Ramsey’s first time headlining Barnett’s Magazine Online nor will it be his last as long as BMO’s jovial Jack Cofano still has a pixel or two left. Will is the retro-spirit-with-an-eye-on-the-future head guy at Faith Forgotten Choppers in Louisville, Kentucky, who’s knocked out this knockout of a Panhead chop that is extremely deceiving in that what you see...

       In case you may have just forgotten about it, Extortion 17 (call sign) was the U.S. Army CH-47D Chinook helicopter that was shot down seconds before landing on August 6, 2011 in Afghanistan killing all 38 on board including 31 American military personal. Thirty servicemen from different branches and one military dog died that day and it really hit home with American...

       Bikes like this are also wicked fun because everybody’s got an opinion about every single step the owner/builder made along the way. And I say along the way as bikes like this often take quite a while to build because of money, time, wheeling and dealing, and learning new skills like welding or painting or whatever. So much of a build like this is done in-house or in-garage,...

       He only, repeat only, works on pre-1985 Harley-Davidsons and even if you offered him a pile of money to build a Twin Cam something-or-other, I’m pretty sure he’d walk away. He’s a diehard Shovelhead freak with a side-liking of Panheads, Knuckleheads, and Ironheads, but that’s it baby. He knows what he likes and knows who he is and he’s totally happy with that. Plus he’s got...

      If you didn’t guess this was a Trotta bike at first glance, I’m sure you’re definitely not the least bit surprised to find out it is a product of Eddie Trotta’s ’s Thunder Cycle Designs in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There’s just something about a Trotta bike that makes it its own style or sub-style depending on what kind of category you might be trying to pigeon hole it in....

      Like anything I think of as Ness, this bike is long and low with a big appetite for chrome and a million little details everywhere you look. The engine, in this case an S&S Shovelhead, like all of Ness’ bikes that I remember was an important focal point as much or more than even Arlen’s often outrageous bodywork. Arlen had a way of making an engine seem bigger than life...

     It seems like choppers have always been and always will be on somebody’s wish list. There’s just something about the whole concept that makes people still lust after them even if they really don’t want one for practical reasons. They just have a spirit that brings out the inner outlaw in the nicest of people and they always make a statement to whomever sees them that you must...
