It was hot in New York. And the wool Pendleton board shirts and a heavy jacket were overkill for the 60 degree December weather. It was even hotter in the Javits Convention Center because it was packed wall-to-wall with enthusiasts.  Jeff Holt from Hot Bike Magazine and Street Chopper Magazine awarded the Editor’s Choice awards

  After a week of doubtful weather the day of Harry’s Bike Show dawned clear and bright, just what the doctor ordered or in this case Harry. Gates were due to be flung open at 9 am but some guys just couldn’t wait. With the Vietnam Veterans & Veterans MC manning the gate at The

  I think Willies Tropical Tattoo Old School Chopper Show is the most popular during the motorcycle events in Daytona Beach during Bike Week and Biketoberfest. It takes place on Thursday and the proceeds benefit Veterans and a No-Kill Animal Shelter.  

    There will probably be a lot written about the last Love Ride, so adding my 2 cents. Might seem like small potatoes, but the Love Ride holds many great memories for me and at least one I think is important to share.   Petrina and I left Dago at 5:30 a.m. to get

  The EXPO was an International Motor Sport Event held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida October 15-18 with the first two days for Trade & Media only.       Being a Motor Sports Event meant that it included products for numerous types of vehicles not just motorcycles.

I started my annual pilgrimage to Sturgis, SD to give thanks to the gods of pistons and petrol and to celebrate the 75th anniversary. Along with me, bikers arrived from every corner of the globe, of all nationalities, ages, and colors. They come together for the largest two and three-wheel gathering in the world. The

  This past Sunday, the phone rang and it was my friend Shannon Sweeney of SS Classics, a restorer/builder of righteous vintage Hondas, and I was thinking it was about the new project bike, a rare Red Dragon, but it wasn’t. He was about to leave his house in Alhambra to ride over to Deus

The 7th Annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering was on May 16th Armed Forces Day May 16th, new day and oops…gotta get a new tire. Lucky for me Gilroy Motorcycle’s owner Steve Schaub was able to replace the rear tire on my Raider and send me on my way to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel Valley.

    The show was held on Thursday the first day of Biketoberfest at Tropical Tattoo in Ormond Beach Florida.     I believe it is the largest bike show during Biketoberfest and Bike Week.
