    A Super Glide

    This featured bike is a true classic. This is a prime example of Willie G’s influence on the motorcycle world. The 1971 FX was a true factory “custom” bike that was lean and mean but not a ‘chopper.’ It was the start of a trend that continues to this day. To see and learn more [...]

    DP Customs “Top Fuel II”

    This little hot rod is a product of the guys at DP Custom Cycles out in Arizona. It started out as a 1981 Sporty before the Del Prado brothers got their hands on it. Now rehabilitating the torquey old “ironhead” Sportster motors and building classic looking custom bikes around them just happens to be the [...]

    East Meets West Cross Bones

    This highly customized Softail Cross Bones was built by Charlie Stockwell, of Warr’s, the Harley-Davidson dealer in London, England. The bike was built in collaboration with Evisu, a pioneering Japanese denim company. Most of the bike’s sheet metal has been polished and nickel-plated.

    The Great Escape

    That’s right this 1956 Triumph Thunderbird has escaped being restored for all these years. It may look familiar because this is the same model that Steve McQueen and Bud Ekins (McQueen’s stunt double) rode as McQueen’s character tried to elude capture in the movie “The Great Escape”. I think owner Tom Wise has been wise [...]

Famed tuner Dan Baisley started by mating Axtell cylinders onto a set of S&S cases. Then a [...]

    Homemade Chopper

    I happened upon this bike as I was riding near Butler, Pennsylvania. I spotted it sitting along the road with a pick-up truck underneath an overpass. I was thinking it was strange that a bike would pull off there since it wasn’t raining out so I figured he might be having trouble. As I got [...]

    2012 Morgan 3 Wheeler

    What would you do if you wanted a vehicle with the looks of a classic English sports car, but with the feel and sound of an American V-twin. Well you‘d probably want to check out the new 2012 Morgan 3 Wheeler. The original Morgan three-wheeled “cycle cars” began back in 1909 using a succession of [...]

Motorcycles in Barcelona, the machine is based on a 2006 Sportster 883 Low. It sports pre-WWII Harley VL style springer forks with a matching Phantom headlight. The custom tank is from [...]
