ISSUE 17 - NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2007

Mike Cunnien’s self torture started when he found a fucked up old Chopper in a front garden with a ‘For Sale’ sign on it. Did it take more time, money and labour that he ever imagined? Of course it did and we’ve all been there…

I felt a bit shaky when I woke up the day after the issue 15 release party in Brooklyn. I had a scrambled recollection of images from the previous night, and I didn’t know which ones were real and which ones were not. One of those twisted memories was seeing Duncan Macdonald riding his stripped down gold HD across the pavement and down the street into the night…Did it happen? Your guess is as good as mine geezer.

If I had to describe Donnie’s 1963 Oldsmobile in Chav slang, it would be; “Mental mental chicken oriental”.

The second part of the ‘Jokers’ article is about Jimmy and his Toxemia ’55 Panhead. Imagine you find a little kitten. Then imagine that you love this kitten so much that you just want to harm it physically. That’s how I feel about Jimmy. I love him so much I literally want to rip his face off.

About 10 years ago me and Chongo went to Hayling Island on the coast of England for a Hot Rod show. He had his freshly finished ’32 Roadster and I had a fucked up Model A coupe, which was an absolute death trap. After realizing we had made it without any problems or breakdowns we decided to celebrate with a couple of beers and lots of this weird green stuff he used to smoke back then. Oh my how we laughed. If I remember rightly we spent the whole weekend like that! Anyway it was funny at the time…well…that is until we had to drive back feeling a little paranoid. This is the Norton he has just built.

The first time we saw Trent’s bike was on the EDR last year and we knew right away that we had to have it in the mag! We got all excited and jumped up and down like little schoolgirls when we finally got the CD with the pictures on it!
Fuck The Rest, Buy Atomic!

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve had a slammed split screen VW in DicE so we proudly present this here rig in all its glory. Damo drives this beast in and around New South Wales, Australia. Wicked.



What would do if some geezer walked up to you and flicked you on the tip of your nose and said…“Come on then you Muppet”?
a). Start waving your arms and shouting, “Let’s have it then you nonce!”
b). Try to calm him down by promising to buy him food from Maccy D’s.
c). Run.
The answer is: All of them rude boy.

Wes and his company Four Aces took this Triumph to the Bonneville salt-flats and achieved one thing. The long downward spiral into a lifetime of pain, that is, racing and the constant urge to go faster. This in turn means they are never going to have money (buying stuff) and never going to have any time (changing stuff). I can’t think of a better life?!

Yorg is from Athens, Greece. Do you know how heavy that is?! Athens! It’s one of the oldest cities in the World and was home to such people like Plato's Akademia and Aristotle's Lyceum! WTF?! Even though it is referred to as the cradle of Western Civilization and the birthplace of a thing called Democracy, it doesn’t stop him from riding his Flathead there. That is Awesome!

“Hey bro what the fuck are you looking at?”… “Are you checking out the insane ink I have on my body bro?” … “In that case you are lucky bro”… “Yes, I’m a biker bro and bikers are tough bro and we have tattoo’s bro and sometimes little fluffy bear zip tied to our bikes bro”… “Drink in my toughness”… “Bro”…

Dan Dan The Batty Man, rode in the wind like you know he can, he sat on a rocket then missed all his…erm…pockets…and they couldn’t put humpty together again?

All the way over in Finland is a bike scene that is blowing minds. Misa’s Flathead is the first bike in a long line that we will be running in the pages of RicE magazine. No, I didn’t make a spelling mistake…watch out for our brand new cooking magazine available on newsstands everywhere from January 2008!

“Hi Dean….I’ve seen you around for ages now and I have to tell you something…I am madly in love with you…You have by far the cutest little muffin ass I have ever seen… and…I want to see you naked.” Candace Campbell.

What do you do if you want a Frisco style bike but have a tight budget to do it on? I would forget it and go to the bar. Or you could do what Romano did and blow people away and do it with a 1999 Kawasaki!

Matt recently met Jeremiah at a show in Long Beach. He looked like he had just been dragged through a hedge backwards and his bike was covered in shite. The reason being that he had just ridden it all the way from Phoenix Arizona! It was a bout halfway through the desert where he broke down…I could tell you more but you will have to buy this issue and find out if he makes it to Long Beach or not…Oh wait…I already said that Matt met him in Long Beach. Damn it!

I felt a bit shaky when I woke up the day after the Issue 15 release party in Brooklyn. I had a scrambled recollection of images from the previous night, and I didn’t know which ones were real and which ones were not. Did I dream it all? Your guess is as good as mine geezer. I do know is that we went to see Hugh at ‘Sixth Street Specials’ at some point while we were there though.

Dr. Glory got a taste of his own medicine last week when an old biker guy convinced him to buy an absolutely ruined Triumph 3TA for way more than it is worth! In his defense, he was totally tripping on Crystal Meth at the time. So was Dr. Glory.
