Liz enters the hotel room enraged. “Zac, they’ve suspended my CSS status and put me on leave of absence!” Liz fumes to me. “Leave

Story line started about ten years ago, during the bare bobber era. I was looking for a seat to go with an old school flat-tracker look. I had a pair of Flanders flat tracker bars, but it did not look right with the King/Queen seat. Remember, choppers were dead, done, caput. I was looking around

   79th Daytona Beach Bike Week got It’s humble beginning way back in 1937 and started as the Daytona 200 – a motorcycle race that was actually a 3.2 mile course including beach and roadway.   Picture that – high banking on sand – in view of the Atlantic Ocean – musta been a sight –

Voodoomama Part 2   A short time later, Liz calls. “Hello Mama.” “Lizzy, I know this must be hard for you, but please hear me out.” “I’m listening, Mama.” “I need to see you, Lizzy. Now.” “I’m in Kathmandu,” Liz replies dryly. “I’m in New Delhi; I’ve been here for three years. Lizzy, I work

Zeke, the constantly moving outlaw rode a rigid framed Shovelhead for years starting in 1979, when he slipped out of prison for the first time. He sold his chopped ’74 Superglide in ’75 to help support his family, while he was shipped off to prison. In ’79 the man cut him out of some dank,

     I was thinking about all of you on Quarantine and how much I think you would enjoy reading this book by my friend Bob Bitchin. I will tell you ahead of time, it is an ADULT PUBLICATION and if you are offended by Sex, Drugs, or Rock and Roll it is probably not

This is a kick-off piece. For years I attended every show in the country and met all the old and new builders. As my travel budget decreased and my desire to work in the shop and go to Bonneville increased, I missed out on some of the shows and the chance to meet new builders.

    Planning a move to another city, state, or country? Traveling and experiencing new places is exciting and promising. Packing and organizing the move, on the other hand, can be pretty intimidating and stressful, not to mention time-consuming.  A professional and reliable team of full-service movers can certainly make your life easier and make

We don’t generally cover motorcycles, but we’re going to make an exception for these bikes since they feature car engines. Not powerplants that are cut-down or derived from an automotive application—no, these are quite literally car engines shoehorned into motorcycle frames with varying degrees of success and ergonomics. To make this list, the resulting car-hearted

Okay, as we all know tool kits are terrific presents for any biker. They are everywhere, in fact, the other day I was digging around and found a flashlight setting on a shelf. No big deal, right? This damn flashlight was six inches tall and the last two inches were devoted to tools like a

Leaving Willis this Sunday morning after online church. It was still a bit damp from the early morning rain. While it stayed cloudy most of the way down I-45 to the 99 toll road, I couldn’t resist heading to the Destroyer Garage Swap Meet. I couldn’t resist my first Covid escape. Upon my arrival the

Editor’s Note: Us old school guys need to know about this new shit. It’s not that new anymore, but what the hell, we need to know the does and don’ts and where we can find solutions. More and more I find myself helping guys with newer bikes, and I’m intrigued by the new M-8 configuration,

 RIDING BACK FROM COVID-19 All 50 states are now in various stages of reopening, and along with restrictions being lifted and the COVID-19 curve flattening, hopes for more normalcy are high; and none higher than amongst the motorcycling community. Most industries have been hit hard by the global pandemic, and motorcycle sales and production have

Although I have been riding motorcycles for years, it has only been in the last few years that I have really wanted a pair of Kevlar riding jeans. Two things have kept me from buying a pair; cost and sizing. Not having a brick and mortar store that allowed me to try on a pair,

This might be the simplest tech tip ever but it is really useful. Suspension Technologies was installing their touring fork cartridge on my Electra Glide. When they took off my brake calipers they did something I hadn’t seen before. Tech Tip:When you take off your brake caliper drop it in a Crown Royal bag and

We’ve been working with Lindby for awhile and I’m surprised how often their product line surfaces. Their crashbar/cruising peg system has saved numerous rider and paint jobs. They make long distance runs more comfortable. And we’ve installed them on Indians, touring Harleys and Dynas. Here’s the latest story. My grandson, the Hollywood tattoo artist, Frank

I had the wants for another custom bike but have turned into a cheap old fucker since getting SS at 62. I’m still a chopper guy and decided a Big Dog or Texas Chopper was it. Limited funds had me loosing auctions on EBay. Up pops a ‘98 Titan with no reserve only 300 miles

  I guess I kind of get the Harley thing now. No name in American motorcycling looms as large as Harley-Davidson, the longest continually operating motorcycle brand in the States. While it’s experienced its share of problems over the last decade or so, it’s continually working on updating and innovating. This last bit is especially

The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 was announced for launch in 2021 and the company’s Instagram suggests we might be able to see this breakthrough bike in dealerships in 2020.
