If you've seen Cole Foster's appropriately named Blue Bike before, you're not alone. After he built this thoroughly modern, '50s inspired machine more than a decade ago, chopper journalists everywhere practically tripped over the skull-shaped headlights on their office floors...

Some bikes do all the talking for their owners. Big Scott's Blue Angel is just such a machine. Originally built in 1966 or '67 for stunt work in the biker flick "Wild Angels," Scott's period perfect panhead is a time...

It's safe to say the MoCo's knucklehead is on the dream list of practically every chopper junkie in the world. Sure, the perfectly restored '36-'47 full-fendered machines are gorgeous. How about one with all the gingerbread knocked off, stripped down...

This machine has been a labor of love for two and a half years. Since the fall of 2008, nearly every part on Kim Boyle's "Fingertight" panhead has been inspected, replaced, rebuilt, redesigned, fabbed from scratch or tweaked in some...

During our coverage of Pinned Ohio I had the distinct privilege of meeting Mikey Arnold. He's a local photographer willing to cover events and bikes throughout the Buckeye State. I'm a firm believer in letting others have the opportunity to...

Sumo is an English bloke with a serious motorcycle problem. He hasn't owned a car in years (except the 80 year old one he recently bought and promptly blew up). In a country with only sporadic sunshine, one has to...

Jordan Heathcock, of Slop Shop, humbly says a lot of “trial and error” was involved in this Shovel Long bike build. It sure looks dialed to my eyes.  Jordan was part of the 2015 Greasy Dozen Builder Collective and produced...

Certain styles have nearly infinite shelf lives. Things like good boots, black paint and 1911 pistols are just fine the way they are and you won't get tired of them after the shine wears off and trends fade on into...

Few bikes have gotten as much press in recent months as Kutty Noteboom's Plum Smuggler, and for good reason. With loads of epic '60s-style bikes coming out of the woodwork, this lawn dart of a digger sticks out like a...

Few motorcycles become legendary the first day their owners kick them. The Born Free 3 knuckle is one such machine. Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you're probably familiar with this bike and the men who made it happen....
