In Las Vegas, Easter bunnies and candy eggs are replaced with pomps and pinups as the Viva Las Vegas show rolls in to the Orleans. This was our first year at Viva and what a crazy time it was. On our way, across the California desert Friday afternoon, we got word from our Hub Buddy […]
I pulled this carcass off a junk truck passing by the neighborhood. Thought at first to make a tiki inspired beach cruiser with a banana seat and sissy bar with tiki torches. Blue frame with copper wheels. Well the colors are staying close but the bike is now going to be a board track inspired […]
May 21, 2011 – OC Fairgrounds Can you smell that? We got a whiff of the methanol as we get closer to the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA this Saturday afternoon. We are on our way to Harley Night at the Costa Mesa Speedway. First of two such events in the calendar and […]
I met Aly at a Viva Las Vegas After Party. I shot the first photo here of her making a face and shaking her fist! A bit of a sun-burn and all crazy! She was really cool and I asked if she would be our Blacktop Betty. She agreed and then found out she had […]
I just received the latest Eddie Motorsports Catalog. They have some very nice products for your car/truck project. From custom billet hood hinges to serpentine pulley systems. I especially dig their Steering Wheels. The Aria a particular favorite. Below is their latest (not included in the catalog) product; Billet Aluminum Hood Pins: There’s nothing more […]
EXPERIENCE MONTEREY CLASSIC CAR WEEK BY WINNING A TRIP FOR TWO Monterey, California (June 1, 2011) – The idea for an opportunity to provide automotive enthusiasts a chance to experience Monterey’s Classic Car Week was born from the continued amazement by many lifelong automotive enthusiasts proclamations that they’ve never been to Monterey, CA during this […]
The first-ever Car Show at the American Diabetes Association’s 14th Annual Rip’s B.A.D. Ride (Bikers Against Diabetes) came off without a hitch. Would’ve liked to see a few more cars, and all the cars that were there were really nice and a tough choice to choose a winner of the unique Best of Show trophy. […]
You may have read the article on Dan Fink Metalworks last month. While in the area I found Wheelers Speed Shop, just a few doors down the street from Fink. I was surprised to find a large busy shop with a collection of nice cars in the front. From a Wagonneer to a ’66 Mustang […]
When Heather commented on the Sidehack Racing article, I knew she would be a good candidate for a photoshoot at Driggers’ and Jones’ shop. I directed her that the sport is extreme and that we would use that as a theme for the shoot. She was game and I should fore-warn you, she brought the […]
Whiskey Pete told us: “If it’s shiney, it’s from my side of the garage (Sanitarium Cycles) and if you need a tetanus shot it’s from the other side.” The other-side is Welderup. And I must say these “Rat Rods” are nothing ratty and all inventive and inspiring. What is it about the allure of rusty […]
What a party it was. Disco and the crew at Anaheim/Fullerton Harley-Davidson know how to throw a party. Great music, awesome rides, plenty of friends and cool trophys. Potter and I brought the Rapidago out and entered it in the Rat-Bike class. We had a blast answering questions, like: “What the hell is that thing?”. […]
It all started with an e-mail from my buddy Keith at Sunnymead Cycles that T-Rod and his speedway sidehack crew will be at the Westminster HD for their open house. At the event, we heard there would be other teams at that weeks’ Starting Gate Bike Night. Billy, Potter and I met Kevin Brown and […]
