One of my earliest memories is my pop shouting “Hold on, Jes” over the potato-potato-potato of his chopped '57 Pan as he gave my first H-D ride. Much older I remembered pictures of this classic bike. It was bright orange with at least a 16-over front end (sixteen feet that is). One of the old

What's in a name? Even a vivid description of the mythological half-horse, half-man, the Centaur leaves something to the imagination. You might have a Centaur picture in your mind, recalling a panting or drawing published in a old high school textbook. But, no one has really witnessed the mechanical version, in the metallic-flesh, until now.

Each month we try to bring you an example of the finest custom choppers we can find. Granted December isn't exactly the best time of year to find sweet street machines roaming free in the snowy Northeast, but a deadline is a deadline.I ran into Dave, Mouse and all the boys from EAST SIDE CUSTOM

Take a sunlit beach and surround it with arching palms, and blooming ruby hibiscus plants and you're nearing heaven. Then peer into the turquoise waters to the pearly depths that are so warm they call to you in the night. That's Hawaii and in a deeper sense stock cars and bikes shouldn't be allowed to

Bob T. on his latest acquisition, a 2003 FLH Standard.Bob T. supplies Bikernet with antique motorcycle images on a regular basis. As it turned out I rode with him in the early '70s.

Photography from C.H.C.With his nothing-was-left-untouched wizardry, Cyril Huze will go any length to make those few chopper parts look even more minimalist. In a competitive chopper world one of Cyril's signatures is detail. He takes the time, and whatever talent needed in addition to his own to form each component into some form of an

I got the call on a cloudy Monday morning as I was drinking my morning coffee and trying to figure out which hand to jerk off with that morning. Just as I had made up my mind, I think it was the left hand; the phone began ringing with the resonance off my morning alarm

Two years ago Robin Bradley, the publisher of American Motorcycle Dealer (AMD) magazine, kicked off the World Championship of Custom Motorcycle Builders competition. It began with Robin’s relationship with Custom Chrome and a massive dealer show in Europe. Oddly enough AMD and the World Championship is based in the UK. That’s where the vast worldly

Not long ago an issue of American Rider was devoted to lowered models contrived for shorter more compact riders. It was natural to feature a custom devoted to the tight-is-right crowd. In a custom world gone nuts with bigger, stretched, wider, fatter and pumped up motorcycles it was a lengthy chore for Buzz Buzzelli to

The challenge, to build a cool rideable bike, for under 10 grand, and have it at the Rowan County N.C. fairgrounds for judging on June 25th. The builders accepting the challenge were Josh Mills,

I've been intending to send a few shots of the FLHS, the “S” believe it or not means Sports. It is a 1990 Sports bike and for those familiar with this model will verify, it is far from a Sports bike. But it must be because my insurance premium is about $300 more than my

He was searching for a fat tire bike, and wanted a performance bike that he could ride. He actually narrowed the field down to 3 builders, and intended to
