They are my tee-shirts. They are not on sale, never been and will never be. They don’t feature a bold political statement or a humorous slogan. Just my logo (yes I authorize you to use it for your next tattoo). So, why to buy one? Because it’s […]

Ask your lady or pay a visit to the mall… Military fashion is getting big. A few of my fellow builders already wear military pants, tees & hats. Not me, yet. Even if like me you are against war and believe that peace can be reached by other means, you know that military motorcycles always […]
When you think that everything has been done in terms of motorcycle headlight assemblies, somebody shows up out of nowhere to show you a new design. I still scratch my head to find out on which style of bike this Phantom headlight will look at its best. But maybe the style of bike doesn’t matter if the theme of your custom is […]

I have never been crazy on trikes. As a matter of fact there are probably less than 5 that I can remember and front of which I would agree to have my picture taken. And it includes this one which was a Discovery Channel Biker […]
Federal regulations state that your bike should be equipped with a horn. They are installed on all factory motorcycles, but on custom bikes? Huh, huh. I know your argument (and mine). When riding, nobody will hear your horn anyway. Loud pipes save lives….Right? But if you want a better looking horn than the factory "bel"l (why it continues to be so […]
If you are passionate about bikes you spend a lot of days and nights working in your garage. If she agrees (huh, huh), you should be able to both eat & drink without leaving the new project you are working on. Anyway, I consider that a fridge is must have in a garage or shop. […]

I upload this post on my Blog using a wireless network connection and fantasize at the same time on a fully wireless custom motorcycle. I know it’s not for tomorrow or even after tomorrow. But waiting for this happy event you can clean your bike by using a wireless starter […]
In a previous post called “But Where Is The Battery” I talked about the many ways you could hide a battery on a custom motorcycle. There is another way to solve the battery aesthetic issue. If you can’t hide it, show it in a very nice way. A good example, if you don’t fabricate yourself, […]
