ISSUE 25 - MAR/APR 2009

It was the late great Charlie Feathers that said “I'm a tip-top daddy and I'm gonna have my way, Keep away from the corners hear what I got to say, Hold a one hand only, get a-ready for a ride, Give me one hand loose and I'll be satisfied, Give me free hand baby, 'cause I wanna rock, Turn it loose and maybe I wont blow my top, Give me a free hand woman, let it swing by my side, A-give me one hand loose and I'll be satisfied”….and how right he was. Nathan’s Sporty is sick goddamn it!

It’s about bloody time brought you pictures of a guy riding bitch and being put in his place! But not only that people, its a fantastic time warp early ‘70’s Chopper with 2 headlights too! Hell Yeah!!

The Vise crew in Nagoya, Japan are super sweet and when you see pictures of them riding in a pack it makes you wanna get out there and tear up the road!

It’s a fact that girls on bikes are sexy. When that chick is also super sexy with or without a bike it’s off the chizart! This is Yaz from London and her BSA single…we are not worthy!

You know that wicked T.I. track where he is all like… “You can have whatever you like”…yeah well he actually got the inspiration for that song after he heard that the Kennedy Brother’s were selling this beast for $2500! See, dreams do come true and you CAN have whatever you like! Forget the Patron on ice though Mr. I,…or can I call you just T? Whatever, I think I’m just gonna go with the Stinkin’ Lincoln. Cheers Dog.

Do you know what the biggest cause of death is in the USA? You would think for sure it would be smoking or drinking or over eating or whatever right? WRONG! It’s actually from listening to any record that anyone associated with ‘American Idol’ puts out. Can you fucking believe that? I can.

I know you have all heard the story so I wont keep harping on about the time I had that Triumph that Matt broke yadda yadda…but…he really broke it bad. The idle sky rocketed and I only got about 300 meters from his place before it conked out! What a bastard.



This bike is BAD! Gaku and his boys at ‘Hawgholics’ in Japan are intense when it comes to what kind of look they go for when they build a chopper. This one was built around the gas tank that Gaku had hanging up in his shop. If you like real 60’s/70’s rides,,,you will love these guys!

This one is for you girl…don’t keep letting that bastard hit you!
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

Under my umbrella

Under my umbrella

Under my umbrella

This is the second bike we have featured from those master builders over at ‘Hamans Chop Shop’ and this time it’s a cone Shovel with way too much style. If this bike was a sandwich, it would be a Chick-fil-A original. Ooh yeah and the wheels would be the round crinkle cut fries…and the paint would be the trade marked Polynesian sauce!!

When I was about 6 I wore leg warmers because I had seen all the dudes in the film fame wear them while they jumping about and literally attacking sweet dance moves. I rocked those cream bad boys everywhere and I have to say the girls loved it! They would just smile and laugh and point and it was great. Plus when I wore them I actually felt like I would live forever. Dave Huntly owns this Garage Company built Shovelhead.

We have been holding back the pictures of Sam’s Evo forever because we wanted to put them in this special issue…. let me tell you…it was well worth the wait! The pictures were taken care of by your friend and ours, Tim ‘Hot As Balls’ O Keefe.

Matt got this Mattress from Ikea about a year ago and it was a right cheapo job, if I remember correctly it was about a hundred quid. It was a rubbish one. Anyway…recently he decided to buy a new one and get rid of the worn out old one all this time later even though it was uncomfortable even when it was new and now it had holes in it. I laughed until I fell over when told me he was going to sell it on Craigslist! He goes, “You’ll see!” You would not believe the amount of phone calls he had on that tattered old gross thing when he put it on there for 75 quid! He sold it after a couple of hours and people are still calling on it 2 months later! People will buy anything off Craigslist as long as they can save a quid or 2… including this Knucklehead for around $2k! Jeremiah at Love Cycles was blessed by the Chopper God’s on this one.

Jasin Phares pulled out all the stops when he built this Generator Shovel with a late 70’s feel. Mag wheels. Check. Hydraulic front-end. Check. Max Schaaf paint. Check. Looking fucking sweet riding down the road. Double check!

Style Bible…You think you can roll with the big boys? It’s all about the size my friend. Sissy Bars!!!

Brad’s Big Twin HD Flathead is a bike we would love to own. Brad’s a lucky boy because he also has a Panhead that he is campaigning next year at Bonneville too. Don’t worry, keep it locked because we are all over it mate.

Everyone loves that classic move the ‘Reversed Cowgirl’ right? Then you will love this too. If you don’t then you are probably more of a ‘2 in the pink and 1 in the stink’ kinda guy.

Just copy and paste this and it will explain everything.

I know you have all heard it so I wont keep harping on about the time I had that Triumph that Matt broke yadda yadda…but…if this bike was a drink it would be a Dr Pepper from Taco Bell! How do they make it so delicious?!
