Trick or Treat

Knock-knock

Karloff Ruled!

My all time favorite. As a kid, I was really into the Frankenstein monster. I use to draw and sculpt his head in clay.

My concept art for Keith Ball of Bikernet.com

Keith Ball is building a bike based on Rick Krost (US Choppers), latest board track frame which are now being produced by Paughco. The build will be documented on his site starting next week. His plan is to ride it to Sturgis next year.

The first chapter is now up. Here's a link:

Rick Krost's Prototype

Celebrity Biker Photo of the Week

Cool Bike , Gay Movie.

Johhny Depp on a K Model from the John Waters movie Cry Baby. The movie basically sucks. For some reason the bike changes from a K Model to a Sportster in different scenes. I always wonder where movie bikes came from and where are they are today?

MORE 49-MILE RIDE PHOTOS

These photos come from a few websites, including Max Schaaf's terrific 4QConditioning (which specializes in vintage Americana, bikers, and skating - Max and posse are in photo #2), plus the Picasa/Flickr pages of other riders; ie, people with real cameras (Craig Howell and 'Diamante').


I had my hands full of Sunbeam! While it's an incredibly simple motorcycle, it's not simple to ride - not only am I constantly playing with the lever throttle and timing levers, I have to keep a keen eye out for potholes (minimal suspension - probably 1.5" on those Druid forks) and braking 'opportunities' - ie the bike has no brakes to speak of...



Paul Zell brought his Indian bobber, which looks very rideable, with high ground clearance and real brakes up front. Everything the original 'bob-jobs' were... light and functional, stripped down for performance.



On the opposite end of the 'modified' spectrum, this extended-fork Harley chopper was certainly the most radical machine, along with the '13 Excelsior! The 'Black Widow' certainly cut a stylish figure...it's all about those pointed boots....enjoy the rest of the photos!
