I remember about 10 years ago, me and my good mate Conrad went to 'The Monarch' in Camden to party the night before we recorded at 'Toe Rag Studios' in London. We got to the bar and ordered 4 beers and 2 chasers to set the mood. The DJ was fucking brilliant and was spinning all kinds of great stuff like 'The Sonics' and 'MC5'. I'm not sure if it was when the booze kicked in, the drugs finally hit, or when the intro to 'I wanna be your dog' came on, but we were both propelled into the heart of the Vortex! ps. This is his bike.

Rob sent us in some pictures of his flaked out Triumph and we loved it so much we had ro run it. We then got London born designer Rosie Davis to design the whole article and layout. This was going to be submitted to Vogue magazine, but we twisted their arms off and got it back.

Hunter is our man in Amsterdam and we gave him a mission to go out to 'The Road Devils' drag race in Germany to see whats goin on? Strange vibes and weird emotions are all part of the scene and it's a miracle he made it out alive!
Nice work babe.

Bill Mize is a legend. He has this Panhead and its so sweet that I wanted to kick him in the throat when he rode up on it at 'The Smokeout'! BUT not in a bad way! Only because I love him and love his bike so much! I mean, he's a pretty good bike builder but not as good as me. I don't want to come across as big headed or anything, but I am probably the best bike builder in the USA. Right now I'm in the middle of building my animal theme bike that is in the shape of a goat, with a girder front end that I cast in pure gold, and wheels I machined myself, including the tires! Build time was 1 minute.
Beat that, Mr. 'I can build a bike' Mize!

Tunnel Skateboards have re-launched and we are very lucky to have been let into a secret stash of old archive Tunnel pics and run em for you to see! There is great picture of me back in 1953 riding a crazy half wind ramp pipe, after I spun a 490 on a back flip vertigo stumble! At one point I thought I was going to 'slipstream drop' (this is a boarders term, so don't worry if you don't understand it!), but I bunny hopped a slip'n'slide. Whew! Those were the hardcore days!
Peace out Yo.

Greg Coddington had Rico Fodrey build his Harley motorbike with a very distinct look. After 7 straight days and nights of deep meditation and Yoga, their souls inter-twined to become one, floating through a sensual vibe of pure vegetation. It was followed by 3 more days and nights of watching 'Miami Vice' re-runs with the volume turned down and a Jazz Fusion soundtrack turned up on the cassette player. Say no more, you can see it for yourself.

Are you looking at me? I said are you looking at me you flippin' sicko?! I didn't think so, because as you can tell I'm a tough guy, and tough guys are really tough!

In this issue we look into what actually makes a guy REALLY tough and also combine it with our, 'Style Bible' series, part 2! This is the one where we go through the 'Do's and Don'ts' of rocking a Denim Cut-Off!

This is a great article about 2 paths. The rightous path and the...er..other path, which is also not too bad. It consists of having some cash and deciding what to do with it? Party or build a bike? OR, go 50/50 and get wasted on a bike!!! Marky kills it with this budget Honda that is cooler than an Eskimo's bollocks!

The 'Not See Run' took place last year for Paso Robles and our 'man with the plan', 'The Flyin' Dutchman' caught it all on camera! He's such a wacky little guy and we love him and always hug him when we see him. Once I hugged him for 4 minutes straight! Being the polite guy he is, he just stood there and patted me on the back for the duration!

Vince is from South London and he's built some great bikes in his time. The latest being this super fast S&S generator Shovel that got the full treatment. I'm surprised he doesn't get nicked by the rozzers everytime he even thinks about kicking it over! The best thing to do if you get a tug, is, speak with a really strong French accent and tell them 'I do not speak ze Onglish Monsieur'! This really yanks their chain because they know you're English because you have English plates and your drivers license says you were born in Putney! So not only do you get a ticket for loud pipes, you probably lose an extra 3 points too! What a laugh!

I think this picture is speaking to me...seriously...can you hear it?..."Hi Dean....you look cute today...wow, and such big muscles....have you been working out?....Me and my friend here want you to come over so we can worship your buff little bod...and if it's ok with you, we can undress you and then...."

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggh! (In girly Homer style scream)

I've known Jedwards for a long time. I actually went to high school with him and we used to go and sit on the donut shop stairs every Sunday when we were kids. I remember once thinking, this guy is really different to the others and I don't know why? It wasn't until years later, watching the old black and white super 8 films that I realised why! He was the only 4 year old kid I knew who had a full beard! Sometimes I chuckle to myself about those good old days, but everytime I see him, I see that little 4 year old bearded face. Respect J.E. I will always love you. x

Has anyone ever tried Limbo dancing? I tried it once at a party, but I was so wasted I just leant back until my head hit the ground really hard and I passed out. You may think that's stupid, but I bet its lower than anything you can do! The only way to describe this Triumph is this people,...Imagine a Limbo dancer. Imagine a salsa song. Imagine the happy little face of a motorcycle when it glides, at ease, under the pole that is 1 inch off the ground.

Caleb's garage has everything. I'm not going to give too much away, but when I was there I think I saw a door that leads to a secret way to The Brig in Venice. Shhh don't tell anyone I said that!

What do you mean you can't have a swingarm motorcycle to be an 'old school' biker guy? Get your mince pies around this bad boy! One of the best bikes at the 'Smokeout' was Victor's killer, '60s style Sickle with more class than Tom Sellecks Moustache!

We have had thousands of people emailing us about how shit our magazine is and we can appriciate that. Luckily for us there is one reason that all of these people would never stop buying it. One word guys. Dr. Glory. erm...actually thats 2 words but fuck you, you don't like us anyway!
