This time of the year....


I love this photo. I like to imagine in my head that this is how fall is, when in reality I'm bumming about time change and cold weather coming. Oh well, make the most of it.

Here is a great looking motorcycle.


This photo was posted up by Roller Magazine and I keep coming back to look at it...... So I just took it and posted it here so I can look at it more. Does anyone have an 18" star hub wheel to sell me?

Cool Bobber, Bro.

Or a bobby, or a robert...... Or a panhead.

45 Fender Needed.

Garret is currently building a 45. This thing is going to rule. It may be a long shot, but he needs a pre 1947 front fender to match the bitchin' rear fender that he picked up. If you can help get him closer to completion, please email me NickResty@Gmail.com. Thanks players.

A Thing of Beauty.


I love choppers, really. But this is on my list of favorite bikes. Serious style.

Ba-ba-ba-ba- Blobbler.




I have drooled over this bike at the museum for years. Even before our gracious hosts schooled me on custom bikes from an era before choppers, I lusted over this machine. It's no wonder why my panhead took the shape that it did. Between this bike and the 1948 hotrod panhead, I have probably unconsciously ripped off the looks of both bikes. Anyways, this beautiful 1940 is bad as fuck. Cool parts all over it, including the rare "magdraulic" front brake. Magnets, how do they work? The Insane Clown Posse may think that this brake works off of magic, when actually engineers figured out a way to make electricity operate the mechanical front brake on a springer. Another cool part is the wide riser cover. Below, you can see that I made a critter version of that cover out of 2 standard Hydraglide riser covers. I can't wait for my next trip back to Wheels Through Time.

The 1960's.

My absolute favorite era of custom motorcycles.

Grimey's New Bike.


My friend Rod a.k.a. Grimey is a master and recently built this 48 panhead. Bad as fuck. His break in run was from Illinois to Born Free and back. Good Job my man.

Panhead Dreams.


This sweet 48 Panhead "Hotrod" resides at the Wheels Through Time museum. I drool over this machine about 80 different times during every visit. There are so many accessories on this thing it's ridiculous. When I first got my 48 motor my plan was to build a cocaine fueled chopper, but this bike steered me in a completely different direction. I have a sincere love for these type of classy shithead bikes. I never wanted to make a "bobber", I always wanted to find one...... which now days seems like a pipe dream. Well, I guess it's not really faking it if you assemble one from all from found old parts.

Pure Lust.


Club bike. I wonder if this was the FXR, fairing, T-bar bike of the time period.
