Just before the heavy rains came through….
Remaining checklist: tail light / license plate mount fab (and location), battery mount fab, wiring, plumbing, front brake / throttle cables, little bits ‘n pieces, fluids, AND THEN shakedown - […]
The late Hal Robinson, one of the godfathers of the biker ‘toon. It would be hard to dispute the lasting mark his work in Easyriders left on the scene, and it still has that same punch today, that it did back then. Here’s a quick little gallery of some of his work that I’ve found […]
You may remember the post from our pal J.B on how to build your own stainless steel fender, here’s another run through on how to put a rib in a fender by hand. Click on read more to Dig in.

Biker cartoons rule. Nuff said. As a side note, if anyone has a copy of Hal Robinsons book “Trash” they want to sell, drop me a line. More ‘toons coming your way soon.

Forgot to mention this bit of news: Ken over at Biker Radio Magazine invited me to do a monthly editorial segment on his radio show, which of course I accepted. Once a month I’ll be stepping up to the virtual pulpit to spew my greasebag gospel to the internet-airwaves. I cut the clip for the […]

Last week I introduced you to the new one question interview feature I’ll be runnin’ on the site (check it out here if you missed it), and I also mentioned that my favorite response to the question came from Jason McElroy. Jason has some serious skills when it comes to putting pen to paper, and […]
For the un-educated (via Wikipedia):
One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a small, family-owned firm, selling far fewer hand-built motorcycles than the giant BSA, Norton, or Triumph concerns. Renowned for the quality of their products, the company was ‘always in the picture’ in international motorcycle racing, from the mid-1920s through the 1950s, culminating […]
I really dig the simplicity and style of what’s been done to this 1996 Sportster. Has a hint of that bratsyle thing going on. Nothing fancy, just simple and well executed. I don’t usually like the look of seats like this (flat on a horizontal frame rail) but it works well here.

Here’s a new bit to sink your chompers into like one of those gigantic turkey legs at the state fair - the one question interview. “What the hell is that?” Well here’s the skinny broham. Once or twice a month I email a single question to a bunch of dudes and ask them all […]

Mike sent in some photographic evidence that things are coming along.Unfortunately no witty commentary or pipe smoking references, but the pics will do for now.

Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
