This Sunday Russell Mitchell Is Doing Donuts. And Wheelies?

For sure donuts and coffee for an open house at his corporate headquarters of North Hollywood, CA. An opportunity for you to look at his industrial looking almost raw metal creations.

Then join Russ and his gang on an easy 18 mile ride up Highway 101 to the legendary biker hangout, the Rockstore on Mulholland Highway on Cornell. CA. No animals, small children and good looking women will be harmed in the process, and a good time will be had by all.

Say to Russ that you came on my behalf and that I will stop by again when croissants are waiting for me on one of his lifts. Sunday July 25th: Exile Cycles, 13209 Saticoy St., North Hollywood, CA 91605 USA.  818 255 3330. (photography Jim Gianatsis)

    I live near the Rock Store area – just a little heads up…they’ve been doing some road construction off the Kanan Rd. exit of the 101 fwy. Be careful and keep the shiny side up! Maybe I’ll ya down there!

    Be sure to check out the Rustic Canyon Market on Kanan Rd. on your way back. It’s right around the corner from the Rock Store. It’s another big bike hangout in the area that caters more to the Harley crowd.

    Duct tape is difficult and painful to remove when you are in the mood.

    Duct taping a woman is not illegal if it’s done with her consent. Now, you can dress up your lady for very cheap.

    yeah and it looks space age and shiny. @Patrick – with a layer of talc or cling-wrap under the tape itself it’ll cause less pain.

    Russell Mitchell is one of the very best in the world – I do a lot of research – and his bikes are fabulous. Sure wish I could find a used one…….(yeah, still trippin’ after all these years.

    I really messed up on this 2005 Iron & Lace Calendar shoot with Russell’s bike “Pure Sex.”

    I had thoght up the duct tape concept for use on the model with the silver bike a few days before, but never really thought it through when it came to getting it pulled off her clean dry skin after the shoot! Wrapping the tape around her nude body was definitely a lot of fun…. getting it off her was a nightmare as it had to be pulled gently and slowly over the course of about 15-20 minutes.

    Next time I’ll know to use baby oil or talcum powder first on her body before applying the Duct tape!

    All our Past edition Iron & Lace Calendars are still available on our website, and the photos are also available for downloading as screen savers in Members Corner.

    ^^ tough learning curve Jim …
    Thank God you could take the time and care needed to ‘de-duct” the model.
    Rough Job, I’m sure you handled well.

    Jim and I had a great time riding with Russell and Rachel and the crew on a couple of Jim’s
    Ducatis. Santa Monica hills and the Rock Store, now that’s some fun.
    Thanks to Exile Cycles.
