Review: The Film Why We Ride

December 18, 2013

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

Featured Bike: Bruce’s 45 Bobber

February 15, 2013

This is Bruce’s Harley flathead 45.  I really like this bobber, it has clean lines, and considerable detail.  I could look at it all day, and, to be honest, if I owned it, I would probably ride the wheels off it. I am not quite sure of the year on this bike, according to Bruce, … More Featured Bike: Bruce’s 45 Bobber

Featured Bike: The Busch Brothers XS 650 Chopper

October 24, 2012

This the 1979 Yamaha XS 650 chopper built by Danny and Lance Busch, AKA, “Busch&Busch.”  When they picked this bike up in late 2009, it was a rusty pile of junk in need of serious help.  After some rebuilding, and countless hours of hand fabrication, this is the result, a stunning, one-off custom chopper. Almost … More Featured Bike: The Busch Brothers XS 650 Chopper

Little Red Riding Vic Part Two

September 30, 2012

When you buy a new bike from any motorcycle manufacturer it often comes with some unwanted extras, the government mandated stickers and reflectors.  Even the most expensive Harley-Davidson custom CVO comes out of Milwaukee with these things stuck to them.  This article will show you how to remove most of them, and if you are … More Little Red Riding Vic Part Two

Featured Bike: April Knapp’s Chopped 1200 Sportster

July 19, 2012

When you think about the classic chopper there are key elements that come to mind.  First, the frame is a rigid, no rear suspension, or, as some call it, a hard tail.  Second, an extended front fork, it can be as short as a six inches over stock length, or as much as twenty.  Third, … More Featured Bike: April Knapp’s Chopped 1200 Sportster

My Trip To The Smoke Out Thirteen

July 13, 2012

I can’t count the number of times I have talked about going to the Smoke Out rally.  I would always make tentative plans, then something would come up that was “more important,” usually the “more important” was something somebody else wanted me to do for them.  It almost went down that way again, and I … More My Trip To The Smoke Out Thirteen

Featured Bike: Harley Custom Jeff and David Dickson

May 18, 2012

The first thing that grabs your attention when you see this bike is the color.  This is not the typical flames and metal-flake high dollar paint job, or rattle can black, but a careful use of color and metallic tones that give it a classic look.  And, when you consider that there is not one … More Featured Bike: Harley Custom Jeff and David Dickson
