LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Editor-At-Large - Kevin Bean're
7-29-2010. Being a gypsy is all about being flexible. People get on me about my plans and where and when I will be someplace but it seems to work out the way is does and I can't really control it. I had made plans to ride up to millwakee and drive a truck and trailer out to Sturgis- this would pay my expenses out there and back. Now 3 days before I leave, they cancelled. Well no worries, I just have to figure out how to get a couple extra bucks gas money and ride out. I really wanted to ride out anyways. It gets me centered better for the rally. It always works out the way it is suppose to, not the way I WANT it too. Life happens if you let it. keep on, keepin' on! Bean're

Chris Flechtner Takes Best of Show

Chris Flechtner / Speed Shop Design returned to the 2010 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show & Calendar Girl Music Festival with an all-new, completely unique design to take 'Best of Show.' The custom motorcycle named "Beezerker" features a mid '60s BSA A65 engine in a fully handbuilt chassis and bodywork with such original features as a parallelogram front fork and a frame which houses the oil tank and hidden exhaust pipes routed up through the rear of the frame to exit at the rear of the seat cowling. Just like Kenji Negai of Ken's Factory, Japan, who took 1st Place Pro Builder in 2008 and returned with an all-new and even more exciting bike to take 2009 Best of Show, Chris also returned for blood... >> Read More


Michael Lichter's Motorcycles as Art at Sturgis

Michael Lichter’s internationally renowned and highly anticipated 10th Annual Motorcycles as Art exhibition is only weeks away and is guaranteed to be a significant highlight of Sturgis Rally Week 2010 festivities. The exhibit scheduled for August 7-13, will focus on the explosion of interest and the passion for custom motorcycles seen over the last thirty years. Entitled, “Eternal Combustion- 30 in the Wind,” this year’s display poses the question, “How is this passion passed on through time?” Thirty custom motorcycles recently built by 15 pairs of builders tied together by family, respect, friendship or apprenticeship will be on display at the impressive Lichter Exhibition Hall located on the grounds of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. Builder teams highlighted within the show include: Arlen Ness & Paul Yaffe, Carl & Matt Olsen, Dave & Jody Perewitz, Donnie Smith & Brian Klock, Eddie Trotta & Todd Silicato, Kevin Baas & his Kennedy High School Chopper Class... >> Read More

Builder Bio: Richard S - Stunata Customs

Stunata Customs - Richard S.Since a early age Richard S. has been working on anything with wheels. From Cars, Airplanes, Hot Rods to Motorcycles today. Richard has advanced to the position of owning his own shop in Mesa, Arizona. Motorcycles are the only priority at Stunata Customs, and have been to Richard since 1993. Richard's opinion is, "from the time the customer walks thru the door he or she should be treated with respect and the same goes for their motorcycle".
