The Pig Seat: D.I.Y Air Ride Seat for Your Chopper

Our friend Ed wrote up this great tutorial about the home brew air ride seat he created for his rigid chopper. Read it all behind the cut.

The Pig SeatAn inexpensive way to create some seat travel.
My first rigid bike did not have a typical seat. It was basically a flat metal pan on top of […]

Sick Chopper Illustrations

Japanese illustrator Yoshihito Tomobe does some absolutely sick motorcycle themed artwork. Those of you who have read through issues of Vibes magazine might already notice his work.

Mark (aka Duckman) over at dbbp.com has posted a couple of great updates (as usual) to his site, but I wanted to point one out in particular. Mark has been turning his BMW bobber CAD bike into reality, and it’s looking great so far. The level of detail in his updates is astounding. In his […]

Classic Pin-Up Artwork

How about a little Thursday art to change things up? I stumbled on this site called imagenetion awhile back and knowing that many of you guys are probably fans of old school pin-up’s it’s only fair that I share. There is something so inherently alluring about classic pin-up art. Yes it’s beautiful, sexy and timeless, but the […]
