I said way back here that Tim Cameron was a motorcycle designer to watch. He has a series of designs that someone should be building. I stop by his site now and then but I had not been there for a while. As I have often said, there are far too many people building choppers [...]

This was bound to happen. If you’ve noticed the fat tire phenomenon with custom choppers where they just keep getting bigger, sooner or later someone was going to ask, “Why not a dualie?” and so here we have Tribal Iron Custom Choppers doing exactly that. Well, on the plus side, you don’t need a kickstand… [...]
Here’s another example of what looks like a joining of two engines to make one. Peregrine Engines has developed a new V4 that looks like two Harley V twins joined at the side though I can’t say for sure, they could be one of the other aftermarket V twins or their own creation.

With all of this talk of stuffing bike engines in cars and car engines in bikes and who knows what else, I recalled a fellow from long ago who gained some notoriety doing drag strip exhibitions, E.J.Potter. What most people remember of him is his Chevy powered bike, the “Widow Maker,” doing smoke filled quarter [...]
Neil Hodgson was testing some weeks ago at Daytona and was commenting on the speeds and how intimidating it was. He’s been testing at Laguna Seca and was fastest among everyone there. The WSB champion looks to me like he may have quite a lot in store for the AMA guys this year. For someone [...]
