THE 2018 HOT BIKE TOUR

It is pretty funny though that in one of the top five driest states in the nation (average rainfall of 4 to 8 inches per year), we were alerted to flash flood warnings the morning of October 2. We rallied the troops and headed over to the kickoff venue, the Roadrunner Saloon, and proceeded business as usual, stuffing 11 muddy custom motorcycles from the 2018 Hot Bike Build-Off inside the bar. A huge thank you to the invited builders Justin Coleman and Chris Staab, Bryan Schimke, Matt Frick, Lock Baker, Chris Moos, John Shope, Brandon Holstein, Al Raposo, Danny Wilson, Josh Rundlett, and Nick Trask. These gents only had a little over four weeks to build and bring a custom bike for this year’s Hot Bike Tour, and they all…

BARNSTORM CYCLES

When a boy turns 16 years old, everything changes. While most boys that age are consumed by getting their driver’s license in order to impress girls, Jake Cutler, from Barnstorm Cycles, was busy formulating plans on how he could turn his motorcycle passion into a full-time gig. Jake started out riding dirt bikes, but bought a Sportster when he was 16. He caught the Harley bug at an early age thanks to his old man and Barnstorm co-owner, Doug Cutler. In fact, Doug used to take Jake to all the East Coast biker rallies during Jake’s childhood, including one of the oldest motorcycle events in existence, Laconia Motorcycle Week. To this day, Doug and Jake still roll together. It’s clear this father-son relationship is so much more. They’re best buds. Eventually, Jake…

COLD-WEATHER GEAR OPTIONS

I hate being cold. I’m also not the biggest fan of most tech touring gear when it comes to styling. Here are a few options from Highway 21 Apparel to keep you looking fly while staying protected, with some much-needed cold-weather undergarments from Cycle Gear’s recently redesigned Freeze-Out line to layer up for even colder rides too. Kick Jack Frost in the nards and get out for a ride this winter! Marksman Flannel When perusing the Highway 21 site, I stumbled upon the Marksman flannel. I immediately thought of it as a good layer for winter riding. You never know if your destination is going to be a tad colder or hotter than your starting location, and layering provides options. The stylish Marksman flannel is no slouch as a stand-alone jacket for…

WHAT WE REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

We have a hard time asking for presents. The things we really want, we tend to go out and buy ourselves. Hell, as adults, we tend to take care of most of our own needs as they pop up, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t the occasional luxuries that we spot and have a hard time justifying among our normal necessities like groceries, school supplies for the kids, and that new exhaust set. So what do we do when our loved ones want to make our holidays special? Whiskey, knives, power, and storage. Sudden Wisdom Two-Year Rye Whiskey Sudden Wisdom, from Montgomery Distillery, has a tendency to grant me just that. Got a little writer’s block working on that new Indian review? One drink of this two-year-aged rye, and the words are…

WHAT WE REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

RSD’S NEW SUPER HOOLIGAN

How do you transform Indian’s recently released factory street tracker, the FTR 1200, into a track-ready dirt-spewing racebike? You turn to the king of road bikes on the flat track, the super hooligan himself, Roland Sands. Inspired by the FTR750, which has dominated the American Flat Track Twins class since its release, the FTR 1200 was developed for the street, yet it evokes a certain emotional response all race enthusiasts can identify with. Finally a legitimate production street tracker is well within grasp for consumers. It hits the nail on the proverbial head in terms of styling, and the specs say it has the performance to back it up. And the $12,999 to $14,999 price point is very attainable for consumers. A proper chassis with steel trellis frame, quality suspension, stylish 19-inch…

A TREAT FOR THE STREETS

“MMM…NOTHING SAYS FALL LIKE THE TASTE OF A yummy pumpkin spice latte.” Things your ol’ lady might say on October 1, right? Yeah, it might be something along the lines of a “basic” thing to say, but damn it if the guys at Klock Werks didn’t nail that sentiment in the form of a ridiculously slick Heritage Softail. The bike does summon all the feels of the autumn season, but in a badass, gentlemanly street-thug-who-really-loves-Halloween kind of way. All horseplay aside, the outcome of Klock Werks’ Vicla-styled Softail is definitely no joke. Nobody really planned for the bike to end up looking the way it does today. It really started out as a dilapidated bike that Brian Klock purchased from his longtime friend Gene Slater. The whole idea behind doing something…

A TREAT FOR THE STREETS

DOING SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE REALM ALWAYS SOUNDS ULTIMATELY EXCITING. While in the midst of it, one can feel like some sort of greasy-handed Magellan charting a dangerous two-wheeled petrol-fueled course into the unknown. And the story of the M8FXR is as such. It all started when Danny Wilson, aka the Motor Witch, and I had an idea to shoehorn a brand-new 2018 Milwaukee-Eight powerplant into a 1990s FXR. After I did some cycle searching, I found a blown-up and long-retired 1993 FXRP police bike from the Fairfax, Virginia, police department. Knowing that FXRPs were in short supply even when new, Danny and I wanted to do this bike build some justice (pun totally intended) and take the extra steps to make this cop bike…

Remember that bully who used to kick sand in your face? He was there to remind you of your traumatic past at the Bradford Beach Brawl. The Race of Gentlemen (TROG) brought bullies on vintage and modern bikes to the shores of Lake Michigan for the first time in 100 years. Nothing pays tribute to the roots of motorcycle racing like high-siding a prewar bike into the sand. We didn’t see many queens at the Run What You Brung drag race, but it was Harley-Davidson’s anniversary, and they were king! Later they took us down to Paradise City, that place, by the thing, where the lights are green and the bikes are pretty.…

TOP LEVEL TOURERS

HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO Harley-Davidson has its eyes set on 2020. It’s kicking off the manufacturing of electric bikes and a new liquid-cooled engine, and breaking into the sportbike genre. It’s going to be a massive year for the company, and a year full of changes for us. While we’d like to complain about not seeing a lot of updates to the touring line, it’s nice to have one constant in this soon-changing lineup. Th e 2019 CVO gets a larger engine, updates to the infotainment hardware and software, as well as integrated Apple CarPlay and an upgraded stereo system, but the base styling and functionality stay the same. Th e largest set of updates we see are based around the new Boom! Box infotainment system. All-new Gorilla Glass has a more responsive feel…

NEW AMERICAN AGGRESSION

INDIAN FTR 1200 From the FTR750 racebikes to the FTR1200 Custom, we have been watching and waiting patiently for the day we could ride an American-made tracker on the street. Indian Motorcycle unveiled its FTR 1200 production bike for the world to see, and while it is a dramatic change from the Custom that they’ve been using to tease this model, we were not disappointed. The FTR 1200 will come in two models, starting at $12,999 for the base model and $14,999 for the FTR 1200 S. Fans of the FTR1200 Custom will instantly notice some pretty major changes to the production model, but that’s to be expected when moving from a custom bike with race genetics to something made for consumers and street use—and that’s not even counting the price drop…

NESS’D-UP ROLLERS

With the performance side of things dialed in on the 2018 Indian Chieftain Classic project from the last issue—thanks to Lloyd’z Motorworkz cams, a Fab28 Industries exhaust, Power Vision CX tuner, and an Arlen Ness air cleaner—we were eager to focus on some more bling from the likes of Ness, and we definitely found it with its new ProCross wheels. The ProCross ($1,199.95) is an aggressively styled spinner, especially in the black and machined finish, which goes with our overall colorway vision of using silver and black accents throughout. The Ness ProCross wheels are lightweight yet engineered with a smooth rolled lip and CNC-machined details for weight reduction to perform and handle anything the road throws at you. The wheels are precision machined from radial-forged 6061-T6 aluminum for maximum road durability,…

CUSHION FOR THE PUSHIN’

I have only ever wanted two things in a motorcycle seat: style and comfort. Unfortunately, cushion tends to be bulky, so the comfier you get, the larger your seat gets and style goes out the window. Until Airhawk teamed up with legendary custom-seat maker Danny Gray, that is. Danny’s integration of Airhawk’s air-cell technology allows a new level of long-mile rideability while still retaining a signature cruiser aesthetic. In true “pump-it” fashion, you simply press the little Airhawk-logo-embossed bubble on the side of the seat. You can both feel and hear as air fills into the air cells under the seat. The shape of the seat works well with the Softail line. A large panel provides plenty of support for the lower back, and the passenger section is equipped with adequate…

BLACK ON BLACK ON BLACK

“What color would you like?” “Is black an option?” Every damn time. Black is consistent. It’s easy to keep clean. It matches my soul. These two items have been with me through countless trips, countless jobs, and have proved their reliability. The Pack Animal backpack and Zero Tolerance 0566BW knife are both no-nonsense items designed to do their jobs very well—and in all black, they both look good doing it. The Pack Animal backpack is designed to be simple and efficient, and it’s just that. Its one main pocket can be accessed through the roll-top opening in the top of the heavy-duty zipper down the side. There is only one small outer pocket in the front, perfect for carrying flat documents, charging cables, and accessories. A water-bottle holder on one side is complemented…
