    This is where it starts, we’ve lost so many through the years, brothers and sisters in the wind, and it seems as we get older, there are so many more that quickly take the route to the silent highway.     I can remember Christmas day, 2006 – by 8am I had received

    The common thread of the following books is a passion for motorcycles and adventure. Adventure can be found in riding great distances and crossing state and national borders and finding yourself.

    I hear bikers say they grew up riding, or riding has been in their family for generations. It is something to be proud of, and arguably more sincere than a recipe book, or a fishing spot. Those motorcycles carry memories and family legacy, not just the rider.  With a name like Youngblood Kustomz,

    I saw him from the distance, as he walked toward me at the port of Los Angeles. He looked like some kind of Anime character dressed in a long black leather trench coat over bright layers, shirt and scarf, black leather chaps and black boots. I noticed the mud splattered up the back

    Life is strange, but we deal with whatever is thrown at us, right? Okay, we were assigned a mission to road test two ramps from Biker’s Choice. The Bikernet team built ramps in the past, modified Easyriders ramps, had ramps stolen, and recently we had an arched aluminum ramp. One of the tailgate

    In Wyoming you can never predict what direction the wind will be blowing from but it will always be blowing. For the May weekend the wind blew me to Casper. Fortunately the weather was nice and it was perfect for a motorcycle show. Robert “Bobby” Eldridge had a dream of a bike rally

    Since the spring of 1994 I have not stayed in one place for longer than two months. These exploits cover the whole of the US, Canada and Mexico, too. Through the years I’ve gained the ability to simply move into any town, make it my home, then stay as long as I like.

    This is Robert McLeod from Troy Montana, I would like to share the story about two friends of mine Ross Rouhoff and his wife Sharon (Pokey) Hogue that were tragically killed while riding their custom motorcycle on August 11th 2013 in Troy Montana.   Ross & Pokey both loved to ride. They also

    First, I want to point out that I was not putting down the television drama (yes, that is what it is) Sons of Anarchy in my last article. To be perfectly honest, I have never even seen an entire episode. Second, I wasn’t putting down the people who enjoy watching the show (my

    Rally coverage is not my bag, and there are plenty of other guys interested in that job, so I’m not going to get into it. For me Leesburg was about seeing a lot of old friends and meeting new. Think I’ll talk about pals for a few minutes.          I’d

If there’s anything that is worse than being stranded with a flat tire, it’s being stranded with no way to repair it. Picture it: you’re out on a beautiful Sunday morning, the bikes purring like Tony Bennett crooning I left my heart, and all of sudden the tire loses pressure. What moments ago was a pristine

    Each year, the Kustom Fab shop tries to do something a little different to spark our creative juices and help us find new inspirations for our custom projects. This year, we decided to travel to Nagoya, Japan, to check out the Joints Custom Bike Show.         We have heard only

    L.A.’s George Harris is the hard- driving force behind a multi-tasking company called Mean Machines Custom Bike Designs/Tap’d Out Studio. He’s no stranger to one-off bikes that often prompt the question….ah, why???  Basically it’s like asking a mountain climber why he wants to scale Mt. Everest, the answer being “because it’s there.”  But

      Making my way onto the track I took a detour and came in from a different direction, as I got closer to the track I was surprised to see 8 to 10 school buses in the parking lot. Being somewhat sure it was Friday and therefore a school day I began to

      Does it really work?   Why is mindfulness so popular? It appeals to people seeking an antidote to life in work-obsessed, tech-saturated, frantically busy Western culture.
