Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance Part II - The Cars
Story and Photos by Rodent
After checking out all the bikes, Mike Corbin and I began looking at the dozens of cars from manufacturers such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Alfa, Auto Union, BMW, etc., etc., etc. The weather, the people, the venue, and the vehicles at Pebble Beach were all awesome. An added attraction to a veteran rally-goer like me were the upper class porta-pots. They were all on trailers with real toilets, running water in sinks, and wood paneling! Every other venue should use them. Yeah, when hell freezes over! read more...

Iron Block Harley-Davidson's 1999 Fat Boy Street Stalker
Story by Mark Barnett, Photos by Sedrick C. Mitchell
I remember these factory Harley-Davidson Street Stalker kits. They had a funky headlight nacelle, a little spoiler that fit right behind the front tire, and a bobbed rear fender just as you see here. We sold a few but never thought of applying such a wild paint job. The kit really takes the paint well; the moment I saw this one I liked it. You have an eleven-year-old bike that’s as fresh as morning. Upstate New Yorker Erik Dunk owns Iron Block Harley-Davidson in Adams Center, New York, about 35 miles from Canada. This is his personal bike. read more...

Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance Part I - The Bikes
Story and Photos by Rodent
Last year, America's newspaper of record, the New York Times, called the "Legends of the Motorcycle" show at the Ritz-Carlton at Half-Moon Bay, California the “Pebble Beach" of motorcycle shows. In 2009, the Legends show was not held due to the economic situation. Soooo, the committee that runs the most exclusive automobile event on the planet, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance at the Pebble Beach Country Club in Monterey, California added a motorcycle division. read more...

AQG DDA15,
A Righteous Shovelhead From Italy
Story by Mark Barnett, Photos by Sedrick C. Mitchell
According to Barnett’s Magazine editor Buck Manning, this is the 256th bike built by Italian Aldo Querio Gianetto (AQG, get it?) that we’ve featured. You know, I guess that is supposed to make me feel bad or something, but it doesn’t. I simply like everything the guy puts together. “Bobbers you can eat off of,” would be the way I’d categorize most of his bikes. At first, you think you are approaching some low cost, stripped down, pieced together from salvage jalopy; but then, you get close to the bike and realize how intensely trick it is and how many one-off pieces there are. read more...

Mark Roberts' 1999 Harley-Davidson FXST
Story by Mark Barnett, Photos by Rodent
Purchased new ten years ago, Mark slowly modified his bike with bits and pieces over the years. When the bike was paid off, he got serious and contacted then El Paso- and now Albuquerque-based custom painter Danny Bally to apply the unique, understated, but definitely cool paint job. Sticking with El Pasoans, he then went over to Mean Street Products and bought a pair of 3” Styletto forks complete with new triple clamps from Tim Hanlon. Their blackened finish complemented the paint job perfectly. read more...
