If you ride for any length of time eventually you will have a headlight fail, it’s a common occurrence. Let’s just hope that it’s not in the middle of the night as you are making your way home. If you’re lucky, it’s just your low beam because it stays on all the time. I have … More The Basics: Let There Be Light
I love this…. short film? Or is it a video? Whatever this thing is, it’s by filmmaker Paolo Asuncion. I would have never thought it possible to distill the experience and classic blunders of a first time build into fifteen minutes of laughs, but he has. The story begins when Paolo and his friends get … More The Rattler Short Film
I found an interesting documentary film about an annual “build off” event in the San Francisco area that ties in with Stevie Ming’s build “The Skirmisher.” It’s called “The Dirtbag Challenge,” they bill themselves as a “Low Rent Chopper Build Off.” The challenge is to build a custom motorcycle within a set overall budget and … More Editorial: The Dirtbag Challenge Motorcycle Build Off
I’ll admit it, I’m completely mad for this bike! As much as I like Stevie’s “Blue Bike,” the “Skirmisher” is my favorite of the two. It’s radical looking, built on a very low budget, just right for the coming “Zombie Apocalypse,” and, best of all, it never needs washing! The problem with most custom bikes … More Project: Stevie Mings’ Double Threat Part Two
This is my first film review, ever, so if I botch it up, I’ll try to do better on the next, if there is one. Last Sunday I spent part of what would have been an otherwise cold, wet, and dreary afternoon in an activity that was almost as good as riding a motorcycle. Sitting … More Review: The Film Why We Ride
I’ll start off by quoting Mel Brooks from one of his movies. “It’s good to be the King!’ Indeed it is, and sometimes it’s good to be the editor of a motorcycle magazine, you get to see all sorts of really cool bikes, and get to know the folks who build them. A case in … More Project: Stevie Ming’s Double Threat Part One
Burt Welleford’s Vincent ride around America has started. As planned, Burt left Atlanta on his journey of a lifetime on June 15, 2013, but he was not alone. A group of his friends and supporters rode with Burt to his first stop, the Barber Motorcycle Museum in Leeds Alabama. We gathered at 9:00 AM to … More Burt Welleford’s Vincent Ride Around America Begins
Sometimes things just find you… THE STORY OF MY CHINESE RED RAPIDE I very much missed owning, riding and showing my Black Shadow and had decided that I would like to somehow acquire another one. This is easier said than done as the prices of Vincent twins had skyrocketed. I then came up with what, … More Featured Bike: Ron Stupart’s A Tale of Two Vincents Part Two
HOW IT ALL BEGAN For as long as I can remember, I have been a gear-head. As the legend has it, my first word uttered as a baby was “Volkswagen”. Whether it be a car, motorcycle or airplane, if it had an engine and it moved, I loved it. From a young age, I could … More Featured Bike: Ron Stupart’s A Tale of Two Vincents Part One
Welcome to part four of the the Little Red Riding Vic article series. This will not be as much of a “how to” article, only two chrome bolt-on accessories will be installed. You might say that it’s more of an update, and visual review before moving on to the more technical work of installing a … More Little Red Riding Vic Part Four
