This is maybe the third AFT bike Bikernet featured, mostly because of the quality craftsmanship, unique concepts, and ride-able styling. There’s also a religious counterpart to this strange equation. Jim Giuffra, the boss of AFT, and his wife, came up with a crazy notion to recruit young, hot-looking girls, who might want to learn a

Classy.Stylish. Tasteful. Refined. These are but a few of the adjectives that come tomind while eyeballing this svelte chic who goes by the name of Haley. Oh, andthe bike’s not bad either.

I crawled off a plane from Los Angeles to Ashville, North Carolina. Meeting the diehard Long Road Riders and riding into Rockingport, North Carolina for the 13th Smoke Out, was a mandatory excursion.

At the recent 63rd annual National Roadster Show held near Los Angeles, the premiere custom car show in the U.S., two wheels nearly outshone all the four wheelers. It was a pair of motorcycles that went by the name “Nitemare,” a twist on the spelling of the word

Bryan Thompson took on this build like a mountain man with a mission. He had to build a pre-unit bobber and stay true to the Triumph code. Only Triumph components could be used. No custom frame, forks, or wheels; just a couple of traditional Bates components and the rest original. But let’s back up first.
