Hank’s Bandit
Ask anyone what a hot rod is, and they’ll all come up with something similar: usually a 30s American coupe with a chopped roof and wide rear tires. But how does the term apply to motorcycles? Is it a chopper with a 2000cc motor in it? Or a 160 horsepower superbike that you can buy off the showroom floor? Or maybe a compromise...
Lucky’s Choppers Von Ripoff
The sheetmetal, frame and paint were done, exactly the way Lucky’s Choppers owner AJ Magnesi wanted it done, to please nobody but himself.
From China, With Love
Chinese bikes have gotten a bit of a bad reputation. Perhaps it's not entirely undeserved, but Johnny "Pag" Paganini would like to change all that.
R Good’s Susie, A Show Bike in Disguise
Most of these motorcycles had a magazine that they were headed for, but some get shot on a whim, and never published. Some are even worse, in that I’ve lost the owners/builders information, so I can’t even get in touch with them. Read More...
Bassella’s Museu de Moto
Bassella’s Museu de Motos by Billy Bartels - Somehow, I’d scored a brand spanking new 2010 Triumph Thunderbird for a long weekend in Catalonia (Eastern Spain). Searching for things to see and do, I happened on Bassella and the Museu de Motos. Read More...

Hank’s 195 Horsepower Bandit “It’s Just An Old School Hot Rod” Ask anyone what a hot rod is, and they’ll all come up with something similar: usually a 30s American coupe with a chopped roof and wide rear tires. But how does the term apply to motorcycles? Is it a chopper with a 2000cc motor in it? Or a 160 horsepower superbike that you can buy off the showroom floor? Or maybe a... [Read more]

Lucky’s Choppers Von Ripoff
Von Ripoff AJ’s stolen chopper A pro builder’s personal bike is an interesting breed. Sometimes it’s almost bone-stock, just something functional to blast around town on, while other times they take on a life of their own, getting worked on between paying jobs, collecting pieces slowly and coming together possibly never. Von Ripoff, the bike seen here, is one of the latter. The sheetmetal,... [Read more]
From China, With Love
Johnny Pag Motorcycles From China, With Love December, 2009 By Ricky Talbot Chinese bikes have gotten a bit of a bad reputation. Perhaps it’s not entirely undeserved, but Johnny “Pag” Paganini would like to change all that. “The China hurdle, some people can’t go with it, but it’s getting better, ” says Pag.

R Good’s Susie, A Show Bike in Disguise
The Lost File, Volume 1 I have gone to a lot of bike events, and shot a lot of custom motorcycles at these events. Most of these motorcycles had a magazine that they were headed for, but some get shot on a whim, and never published. Some are even worse, in that I’ve lost the owners/builders information, so I can’t even get in touch with them. As you might guess, situations like these make the... [Read more]
Bassella’s Museu de Moto
[Show picture list] Somehow, I’d scored a brand spanking new 2010 Triumph Thunderbird for a long weekend in Catalonia (Eastern Spain). So, naturally, I was plotting on Google Maps to figure out where to take it. My master plan was to motor over the Pyrenees through the tiny mountain nation of Andorra to France, explore Carcasonne and Toulouse and ride back down the Mediterranean coast to Barcelona.

Strap On!
What To Do When Your H-D Battery Dies Here is a simple tip that is so easy and convenient, you’ll kick yourself for not thinking of it. Then you’ll want to kick Harley for not already doing it. Then you’ll kick yourself again, because the miserly engineering god of Harley-Davidson improvements has finally granted this wish for 2008. So that only leaves about a bazillion people...
