The past few months have been a blur in many ways from getting to go see and take a few shots of Lindsey Stirling on a Wednesday night, then heading out to cover the Division 4 NHRA races that same weekend, to a change in my “real” job status just prior to the 26th Annual […]

Editor’s Note: I recently received a note about the last ’48 Panhead I owned. Two years ago Doc Robinson, a moto-journalist and tech writer from Australia, talked me out of it. Since it arrived on his little island in the Pacific he had a mission, to make it vintage road race rally ready. When

Several years ago, almost six, we finished a complete vintage 45 motorcycle roller. Powder coated and painted, it languished, but worked in our behalf, when Paughco developed the 4-speed 45 frame, which saved the world for H-D 45 flathead motorcycles. Dave Perewitz immediately built a classic chopper around this new configuration. It opened lots of

The mid winter air was pleasingly warm. I wore only jeans and T-shirt as the old Electra Glide beat its familiar rhythm against the broken pavement of this little third-world highway. Beyond the roadside, lush foliage rolled easily across the land and brought almost impossibly green hues to the eyes as strange trees and tropical

I rolled over to the Saddlemen headquarters, in Rancho Dominquez, California, not far from the Bikernet Interplanetary Ivory Tower. We planned a lunch, but it was Friday and the staff, on Hawaiian Shirt Day, was throwing their annual Father’s Day Bash. Saddlemen’s facility reeks of a family and employee friendly atmosphere.
