Prior to this article, I always referred to Paul as “My Tanning Guy” because he owns the Aruba Tan salons here in EP. You know, I’d see him out and about and I’d say to Buck, “Hey, there goes My Tanning Guy…”...

Click here for more photos Ben Kudon’s Rivera Primo S&S Shovelhead Custom Story by Buck Manning You can’t help looking at an older V-twin without wondering what kind of history, what kind of life it has had. Whenever I see a 20-year–old bike, I immediately start to wonder how many owners it had, where has it been, who did what to it and why, and more...

Joe’s creation is not some tarted up “Live to Ride” theme bike built to grace the dealership floor and sell silly trinkets, but an all out custom in the Old School tradition of using imagination, fabrication talent, and a bevy of used parts to turn sh*t into Shinola. “Doing the same stuff is boring, everybody’s kinda copying off everybody else and I wanted to do something...

  Mike Hennike of Hurdle Mills, North Carolina, apparently has the same affliction and happened to catch an auction of a 2006 Black Denim Street Bob that had been modified by Racine, Wisconsin’s Dave Neu, owner of ASI Customs. “Most of the things I liked he already had incorporated into the design,” said Mike. “I asked for some changes which I thought were improvements on it...

  Fred Kodlin hadn’t done a lot of dressers and the E-Glide proved to be an interesting challenge. One of the foremost changes involved putting a decidedly meaty rear tire out back, a 240 Metzeler in this case.
