Johnny Gil’s, La Ruca, a Texas custom worth a second look. Sturgis 2008 was a fantastic event in many eyes. Bandit's Brouhaha proved to be as successful, as much as it was stressful. People staggered out of the show shaking their heads wondering if they’d ever see another show like that again. According to Bandit, […]

This is Rev 1, the first in a series of customs built around the Revolution motor at Wonder Customs in Wichita Falls, Texas. We at Bikernet pride ourselves on bringing many aspects of the biker lifestyle to the computer screen for our faithful readers. While we have tried to look for the uncommon street machine,

There's something more to riding a chopper than any other motorcycle in the world. There are economical deviates who buy low cc metric bikes to get to work on a dime, save space, reduce air pollution and make a gallon last for a month, but not us. Custom motorcycles, bobbers, rats, choppers, and hot rod

If it runs and is a terrific example of whatever style, we'll feature it. That includes, bobbers, rats, choppers, dressers and race

I met quiet, unassuming Christian Dotson at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona a couple of years ago. His long, odd-looking, silent gray fellow-colored custom was stuffed in a dank corner, as if passed over for general competition. He was new to the game. The young man entered his first custom bike to appraise

Today’s doom and gloom outlook on the economy seems to have gripped the United States like an epidemic with no cure. While some have decided to hide themselves in a protective shroud of denial while others refuse to spend a dime unless absolutely necessary; then there’s the bikers. While the economic black cloud may have

It's interesting, spending time with builders, their latest rides and their lives. Many times recently I've heard, “Motorcycles, cheaper than therapy,” and, “Motorcycles are the cure for insanity.” There's something about two wheels, like biplanes soaring along the pavement, unobstructed by society's sounds and restrictions. Scotty grew up in Southern California, mostly in Huntington Beach,

“I liked the notion of the vintage '30s, H-D Peashooter single,” Roger Goldammer said. “The first effort with a single cylinder was a styling exercise.” Roger, is a clean, good-looking bike building mastermind. His first single, Trouble, was a challenge to develop, yet it won several custom motorcycle competitions. “I like to evolve and change
