George the Painter lining up on the dragway.
One question interview time - you know you’ve been craving it. In this months segment we asked all our favorite greasebags the following question:
What’s your favorite part about building a bike?
There seems to be a reoccurring theme when you look at the answers as a group, but I’ll let you figure that out on your own Einstein. Some answers are expected, some are not - good stuff to dig through.
As always, I love to hear you guys (yes YOU) answer the question as well, so use the comments section to drop some knowledge/sarcasm/humor/wit/etc…With that said, onto the show. (Make sure to click read more to check out all the answers).

My favorite part of building a bike is seeing all the parts I’ve collected and scrounged through swap meets and friends etc. come together along with all the ideas in my head to a final running scooter. Each bike I build has cool stories of where things came from and memories of the build that will never be forgotten.
Like the description says: Bunch of motherfuckers digging through South Texas on their home built choppers. Fucking heat. Fucking Cops. Fucking Ants. Fucking Skanks. Lone Star Beer. Tales for life.
Hell yeah, that’s what it’s about.

Trent from Atomic Customs built this bitchin’ Panhead chopper for Tim from Skateloaded.com and then Gary Griffin from Good Luck Photo took some seriously killer pics of it.
The bike is really straight up classic, all the bits and pieces fit and flow together really well. The megaphone muffles great and yup, that’s a Warbird taillight chillin on the sissy bar.
The photo above and the first photo below were shot by Gary. The others are from Trent.
Those of you who have cruised over to the “shop” section of the site know that we have a bunch of knucklebuster shirts up for sale. You also know that we sell them pretty cheap - $13 with free shipping anywhere in the continental United States. Well, just like everyone else, our costs have been steadily rising - whether it’s because of materials, fuel or shipping, everything is just a bit more expensive these days. So, starting on September 1st, the price of Knucklebuster t-shirts will be going up to $15 - that still includes shipping within the U.S. Still pretty cheap by all current standards, but I just wanted to give fair warning. The good news is that you have 2 weeks to get shirts at the $13 price. So if you were thinking about picking up a shirt, this is best time to grab one before the price increase. Head over to knucklebustershop.com to get yourself a shirt.
