BOTT XR1
This bike, the BOTT XR1, is a great example of what could have been achieved had Harley-Davidson not axed its Buell division back in 2009.
Motorcycles
Motorcycle-Mounted Machine Gun
When I saw this remarkable WWI era photograph showing a chap from the 39th Tomsk Infantry Regiment with his motorcycle-mounted machine gun I immediately decided that I wanted one. Preferably without the million or so angry Germans on the other end of it.
Honda CB750 Custom by MotoHangar
The Honda CB750 is a motorcycle that’s been tweaked, customised and rebuilt in more ways than will ever be documented. The venerable Honda model was built between 1969 and 2007 in a wide variety of configurations, when it was first released into the US market in ’69 it became known as the “first superbike” and went on to influence modern high-performance motorcycles perhaps more than any other single bike.

Waiting Out Winter

Harley ‘Del Ray’ by DP Customs
When it comes to Harley customs, you’d be hard pressed to find more unique examples than those produced by DP Customs. Our regular readers will remember that we featured the work of DP just a couple of weeks ago with their beautiful Harley Cafe Racer…
