Bike Features

This is an interesting feature bike built by Hiroyuki Hirata from Japan. I see it as another unrideable board track styled bike, and he sees it as a skeleton with wheels. Interesting. Let me know your thoughts on board track styled bikes. I love them from a purely artistic side. They are the coolest custom […]

Indian Motorcycle just revealed a fully customized, Indian Chief Classic during a Press Presentation at the Indian Motorcycle exhibit of the International Motorcycle Show in New York City. Conceptualized and designed by Indian Motorcycle’s Industrial Design team, the “Big Chief Custom” is the first custom Indian Chief created around the 2014 models introduced with great

This is an interesting one. It’s like a test. Last week, a full moon rocked the earth, like an evil spell. Girlfriends ran off, businesses folded, evil transactions unfolded, and there was general mayhem on the planet for a few days. That’s when Angie Dixon reached out to me. “Are you going to feature our

In a world gone insane with new tech and import parts, there are still builders who create true works of art the old school way. A couple of years ago, a handful of us, including Billy Lane, Jeremiah Soto, and the boss of Sucker Punch Sally, rode north to Half Moon Bay from Los Angeles.

    The driving force behind designing and building bikes, for me, usually comes from something I’ve seen and want to put my own spin on. Recently, I saw a particular bike that caught my eye at the Yokohama Bike Show in Japan. I was really impressed with what I saw at the show and

We’ve followed Brass Balls Bobbers since Dar Holdsworth kicked off his effort to build cool rideable custom scooters out of Oklahoma in 2006.
