From previous posts about crazy show bikes, I know that the HDForums crowd tends to gravitate toward bikes that are, you know, actually rideable. And to answer my own question? There’s no way in hell I’d trust this front wheel. I’ve been a fairly serious cyclist for the last five years, and while I’ve heard […] More »

Greetings from Las Vegas! I’ve been coming to SEMA since 2006, and while there have always been a few custom bikes sprinkled in among the cars, Harley—to my knowledge—has never had an official presence.

Earlier today, one of my colleagues forwarded over an AutoWeek story on the Storz Performance 1200RR. Now, I love the style of the classic XR750 dirt-tracker, and I dug what Aaron from Gas Monkey Garage did with his Sportster project. If I was going to build a custom machine, I’d definitely go for a cafe […] More »

When I think of a bunch of dudes walking around in high heels, I don’t really think of Harley-Davidson dealerships in Georgia. Or any Harley dealerships. Because first off, I don’t spend any time thinking about dudes wearing heels. And if I had to think of where guys wearing heels would be, I’d guess […] More »
