When we visited the proprietor of the haberdashery called Dixie in Long Beach last week, its proprietor John Tubbs tooled up on this sweet panhead. Mike Olson and John built this bike last year, and it's a fixture on curbs...

Can a swingarm bike look good as a custom? I'd argue a solid yes. Austin's example here shows that a brutal and classy machine can be created with reasonably mild modifications. 19" wheels front and rear give it a bit...

For most motorcycle enthusiasts there’s a certain style of bike they are drawn to, whether it’s American, British or Japanese. I walk the center line and normally become intrigued with a motorcycle by its finer aspects. The small additions to...

In traveling and doing work for Chop Cult, I’m lucky enough to meet a lot of multi-talented people. My bud, Christian Herr, from Lancaster, PA, is one of those dudes. I first witnessed his on-the-fly talent when I saw him...

Alberta, Canada's, Jason Brunner thrashed on this bike for weeks before slinging it in the back of his buddy's truck and heading south to Born Free 3. With zero shakedown time he was lucky to make it at all, but...
