Our Newest Projects
We’ve kept ourselves pretty busy lately. In recent weeks we have been shooting legendary British rockers Status Quo for their upcoming album “In Search of the Fourth Chord”, we were invited by Joe Satriani to cover his only UK gig this year at Hyde Park Calling, we are involved in the long awaited Uriah Heep comeback album, we shot Timbaland’s recent London gig for AEG Live, we are working with a promising London based band called Macara, and breakthrough bluesman Seasick Steve used our work for his latest release.
In The Spotlight
Guitar wizard Joe Satriani, who used our work on his highly acclaimed latest live CD and DVD “Satriani Live!”, made a promo video recently for the new CAD Trion 7000 microphone. Not only is the man one of the world’s most brilliant guitar players, he’s also damn funny! In the video he used more of our photos.

It’s featured on the home page, but they don’t have a name for it’s traditional self. Darwin, from Brass Balls is offering a weeks worth of Brass Balls T-shirts and a shop work shirt for just the right name. You can send your suggestion to me, Bandit@bikernet.com or directly to Dar at dar@darwinmotorcycles.com. Here’s a few of the suggestions arriving in the first 24 hours. Hello from a Devil Dog stationed in San Diego. After killing time at the pistol range practicing my insurgent “good morning” tactics, I raced back to the office to check out what you had on the website today. Well, after seeing the work that went into the new Brass Balls Bobber bike, I decided that it should be called the “Shooter”!!! I guess it is because I want one of these so bad I can taste it. After breathing carbon from my 45 all morning, that is all I had on my mind. I hope it sticks!! By the way, thanks for the great vibes for those of us who volunteered to do the greatest job in the world. We do not forget those who cross us and those who mourn us, but we certainly do not forget those who watch our backs here in the states. Drink one for me, Brother, I will see you on the back side!!

I think they should name it ‘Stingy’. It has only what it needs to have. –Kyle Larson Name for brass balls bike, call it Another1. When somebody ask what it is, you can say, “it’s a another1. Wat ya think? –Sam Tyszko Two names for ya–1st one is, “The Mobster”— 2nd one is “The Gangster.” C Ya. –IVAN MANZANARES RUCKER PERFORMANCE COLLABORATES WITHBRUCE ROSSMEYER TO BUILD NOSTALGIA MOTORCYCLES–FORT WORTH, TX (July 18, 2007) Rucker Performance announces another collaboration with Bruce Rossmeyer to build 30 Nostalgia motorcycles to be released in August. Rucker Performance has started building 30 Nostalgia bikes according to the specifications of Elvis Presley?s original 1957 FL bike. Details include custom parts from Rucker Performance such as the primary housing, fuel tank, dash, oil tank, kickstart adapter and exhaust system. The Rucker Performance team has recreated a bike with authentic parts and accessories that uphold the integrity and style of Elvis Presley’s bike. The hand-fabricated Rucker Performance primary housing is a hybrid of tin and cast aluminum, giving a new part an old look that is reminiscent of tin primaries from the 1950?s era. Additionally, the fuel tank is channeled, modified similarly to the old style two-piece tanks on FL models and redesigned for a FL style custom dash. Other details include a dimpled tank for the fuel shut off valve that has been added for aesthetic purposes only. Rucker Performance also has modified the oil tank to resemble the horseshoe-style oil tank with decorative 6-volt battery tops. “Rucker Performance is yet again pleased to provide custom services to Bruce Rossmeyer and Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson. We are well-known for hand-fabricating and building challenging projects in the motorcycle and performance industry that no other company can achieve on this large of a scale and timeframe,? said Bill Rucker, Founder of Rucker Performance. ?Our design expertise and manufacturing background are keys to producing the very best bikes with the ultimate in design and performance.? The Nostalgia bike includes front and rear fenders that are accessorized like those of Elvis? original bike. Rucker Performance hand-fabricates parts such as the fender rail and special brackets in-house and has created a kickstart adapter unique to the 6-speed transmission. A custom seat matches the same material as Elvis? seat skirt ? a basket weave patterned leather seat ? and is added to each bike. Old fashioned accessories from the 1940?s and 1950?s are mixed with modern technology, giving this bike a slice of history reflected on two wheels. STURGIS READIES FOR MOTORCYCLE RALLY–STURGIS — Preparations for the 2007 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will be similar to last year’s planning, according to law enforcement, military and state officers.Early predications indicate if gas prices stay steady, visitor numbers should be similar to the 2006 event.Law officers plan to work 12-hour shifts during the week, with two ambulance crews on call. Also, the Pennington County 40-member special response team will be on call. Pepper Massey, interim rally director, said preparations are going smoothly.”I think there are certain things that are set in place that we’ll continue. Keeping up with trends, we always want to be an event that would entice people to come. We’re always looking for new and exciting things,” Massey said. So far, 90 vendor permits have been sold through the city of Sturgis. The state reports 200 vendor permit sales. –from Rogue THE HUNT FOR COLORS MAGAZINE– One of my friends sent me these images of the cover from Freeway magazine #156 May 2007 because of my being with Colors magazine years ago. Hey it’s in Italian I am not sure how to thank or yell at them haha. On one image is a copy of BIKER and in the lower right the issue of Colors with me on the cover. –Rogue WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT ALWAYS HELP–All the words of encouragement go a long way to helping and the funny thing is all the guys who spur me on are people like you and all live in the States. Sounds like a real tight knit community. You have no idea what it’s like living here. Seems to me that you guys will take on the near impossible and say, “When do you want it?” All I hear around this island is, “No can do!!” But they are coming around. One really cool couple are Vinnie and Lourie from CMX Choppers in South Carolina. I saw a great Bike that Vinnie built and wrote to them saying how much I liked the bike etc. and to cut a long story short I received a package with three T-shirts and a beanie in it and when I wanted to send them the money they said it was a present. I really appreciated that. I know you are busy and don’t want to take up too much of your time but once again, Thank You. –Mike. –Tim BIKERNET ON-GOING CODE OF THE WEST STUDY–Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul. If you wait, all that will happen is you’ll get older. Midnight bugs taste just as bad as noon time bugs. Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, butthey CAN hold everything you need. It takes more love to share the saddle than it does toshare the bed. The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rearview mirror. Never be afraid to slow down. Never ride so late into the night that you sleepthrough the sunrise. Sometimes it takes a whole tank of fuel before you canthink straight. Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees thatyou’ll ride alone. Never hesitate to ride past the last streetlight atthe edge of town.Only a biker know’s why a dog sticks it’s head out thewindow.There are two type’s of people in this world, peoplewho ride motorcycles and people who wish they couldride motorcycles. –from Mike O’Connor NEWS FROM U.S. CHOPPERS–This Monday, U.S. Choppers issued a one time only sale to commemorate their swap to major manufacturer Paughco. The sales flyer went out to U.S. Chopper’s e-mail list only. The deal was good on 20 frames. Reportedly 7 frames were gone before the sale was even announced (going to big name builders), and rumor has it that the remaining 13 frames are slated to go to one buyer. The terms of the deal are still on the table and should be finalized soon. If this deal goes through, the sale will be over. This would make for an astounding 20 frame sale in less than 3 days. Who says the industry is flat on it’s back? Rick Krost is quoted as saying, “With Paughco making our frames, we can afford scalability, very short lead times, and a quality product every time. With this alliance our clients and builders don’t have to worry about quality issues or factory support. With both U.S. Choppers and Paughco backing their names and reputations, the client is put at ease with regards to reputability.” Other rumors have been swarming about more parts coming soon from this new alliance. We’ll keep you posted exclusively as the events arise. –U.S. Choppers CAF?

He said he could win more easily because of his current position. No, the Wrecking Crew rider of the Team Latus/Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson isn’t kidding. The 2000 AMA Grand National champion is the two-time defending winner of this weekend’s Twins race at Darke County Fairgrounds in Greenville, Ohio and he’s aiming to get another gun. “It’s the Annie Oakley Shootout this weekend and the trophy is a great gun,” Kopp said. “I would love to earn a third trophy from this event. It’s a cushion track that rewards great starts and I love surfaces like that. “I also have the benefit of not being in a pressure situation when it comes to the points chase. We’ve struggled a bit lately but last week’s third place finish has helped restore our confidence and I know this team is capable of winning. We’re going to climb back up the points and hopefully win along the way.” Some of the riders that might get in his way are Screamin’ Eagle factory rider Kenny Coolbeth – the defending AMA Twins series champion and winner of two events so far this season – as well as Wrecking Crew riders Jared Mees and Bryan Smith. Mees has earned three wins on his Blue Springs/Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson and currently leading the point standings. Smith has his Pat Moroney’s/Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson into fourth place of the standings. Coolbeth finished in seventh place last year at Greenville but is more confident going into the cushion track after his second place finish at Lima, Ohio’s cushion surface earlier this season. “We struggled with Greenville last year but we’ve worked a few things out for the setup we need for that kind of track,” Coolbeth said. “I owe that to my team. We’re working real well together and we’re in good shape going into this race. We’ve been consistent all season and we’ve already done better than last year when it comes to the cushion track. We did some testing and I think that has been paying off.” Coolbeth won last weekend’s race at Saluda, Va., and he was surrounded by his Wrecking Crew teammates. Mees finished second and Kopp was third, earning his first podium finish of the season. “It was so important finishing on the podium last weekend considering we didn’t qualify the weekend before that (Joliet, Ill.),” Kopp said. “It gives me a lot of confidence coming into an event that I like. The entire crew is happy. Just finishing as well as we did last weekend almost felt like we had won the race. It’s just going to get better.” One of Kopp’s mechanics, Larry Zumbrun, is a Greenville resident and just makes the race more interesting. “Larry was born and raised there and it’s always nice to do well in front of his home crowd,” Kopp said. “We’re feeling much more confident now and we don’t have any pressure on us. So we’re aiming for another gun and we’re not going to worry about anything else.” All the action of this weekend’s race and all AMA GNC Twins events can be seen via web cast provided by Live I Sports (www.liveisports.com).
