Mindy by TPJ Customs
What we’re looking at here is a Buell/Harley Sportster 1200cc V-Twin with a unique motorcycle fabricated around it, for want of a better word it’s a supermoto bike…
Harley-Davidson
Ladies Beach Race
This is exactly the sort of motor sports event we need more of, although it might be a good idea to institute some sort of helmet rule as mid-50’s housewife headscarves generally don’t come with DOT certification.
Rossmeyer Flyer by Jesse Rooke
The Rossmeyer Flyer was built by Jesse Rooke for Bruce Rossmeyer, a very well-known Harley-Davidson dealership owner, the bike itself is a classic Rooke design with elements of board-tracker, chopper and cruiser all integrated without any one element overpowering the design.
War Crimes Harley Custom by Super Rat
Super Rat Motorcycles is one of those garages that never, ever builds anything normal. And this bike, War Crimes, is anything but normal. We…
Harley-Davidson Doll
Well there’s a lot to be said about vintage motorcycle photography. You’ll be hard pressed to find any pictures taken post-1970 that are as tasteful as this.
Custom Sportster by Hidemo
The humble Sportster is one of the most popular bases for custom motorcycle building in the US, interestingly it’s also a wildly popular bike for tweaking within the Japanese bike building community.
TwinTrax by The German Motorcycle Authority

Harley-Davidson Sportster Café Racer
The Harley-Davidson café racer genre is a little corner of the café racer world that I’ve grown very fond of, I love the history of the brand and although the modern offerings aren’t really my cup of tea, they are designed to be customised by their owners and their owners almost always oblige.
Custom Boardtracker Harley
I’m not entirely sure how to categorise this motorcycle, it started life as a 1996 Harley-Davidson Sportster however it’s clearly been reworked from tip to tail and it now resembles a sort of rat rod, heavy boardtracker.
Harley Café Racer
This Harley Café Racer by Italian garage Passion 4 Custom is a great example of what can be achieved with a v-twin and a little patience, the style of the finished bike is a little reminiscent of Shinya Kimura’s work although it’s also quite distinctly Italian.
Evel Knievel – 19 Car Jump
Evel Knievel is a step beyond iconic.
Dot Smith
This is Dot Smith, the famous female stunt rider from the 1930s and 40s, she was a member of the San Francisco Motorcycle Club and a founding member of the iconic “Motor Maids” with Dot Robinson and Linda Degeau.
