Ryan’s Knuckle is a dream come true and if your heart doesn’t beat faster when you see it…you are not human. Original Chopper. Killer paint. Found in barn. Damn!

We were very lucky to be invited over to Belgium in April for this year’s S.I.N.S. show hosted by ‘The Scrapers’ car club and sponsor the Motorcycle show. Pete from Switzerland was there with his gorgeous bike, ‘Trump Terror’, so…BOOM! Here ya go!

Jimmy Monk aka Funky Monkey aka Jimmy Shimmy Shake aka Peter Pervis Pineapple hands has this great Panhead called ‘The Bollocks Rocket’ and it looks wicked riding around the streets of London.

Ok, here is the scenario. You get a lead on an original Vincent Grey Flash that has been sitting for years and it might be for sale really cheap…do you:
A. Do a doo doo right there and then.
B. Break into a Riverdance style leg workout.
C. Give yourself a bum shandy because you can’t get drunk quick enough to celebrate.
Answer: C although it’s always easier to get a friend to help when you go in for an alcohol enema.

Our mate Rich aka ‘The Performance King’ was in LA recently and of course he couldn’t just hire a car, so he just brought his, 440, 6 pack, 4 speed ’69 Roadrunner which he proceeded to blow the clutch out of in the first day here because he drives like a maniac. He flew back to Seattle a few days later and left the car with a friend to be fixed, although when it was ready he had nobody to pick it up for him. That was until he heard my parents were in town. Not only did my mum drive this beast of a car around LA for the week, she also saved a 4 year old boy by dragging his lifeless body out of the sea and giving him CPR the week before. No joke!

‘Slippery When Wet’ is the third studio album by Bon Jovi, released on August 18, 1986. It is the band's most commercially successful album, selling over 12 million copies in the United States and has sold over 28 million worldwide. It was named the top selling album of 1987 by Billboard. The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Just a fun little fact for you there….so….

The first 2 albums were crap though.

Disaster Dave was not only kind enough to let us have his stripped down Knuck grace our pages in this issue…but he is also letting us crash the bike show he puts on in Vancouver so we can launch this very issue! Cheers!

I made up a new word today and that word is; ‘Yozltov’. I did this by mixing the words ‘Yo’ and ‘Mazal tov’ and it can be used instead of the word ‘Yes’….Eg….
Weird guy at Rosebowl: “Are you interested in this limited edition A-Team lunchbox?”
Me, Dean: “Yozltoff!”
Weird guy at Rosebowl: “Piss off weirdo I don’t sell to mentally challenged people.”
Me, Dean: “Sigh…Alrozzle.”

We have had these pictures on file for so long that when we came time to put the text together we didn’t have a clue about where to start for finding all the details of who owned it except that it belongs to a geezer called Adam Cooper. Sorry Adam we are total douche bags…well Matt is anyway…he was the one that lost all your info. I have never done anything like that in my whole life, so it’s only fair to pass the buck.

T shirts…Muscle shirts….Capped sleeve shirts…they all scream, “Look at me I’m like everyone on the planet because I wear a T shirt and everyone I know wears a T shirt and everyone I don’t know wears one and is there really any point of me shouting about it right now?” Weird guy at Rosebowl: “Shut up no one cares about your stupid T shirt.”

Ok, when things get a little tough and you need to shake things up a bit, why not build a 2 wheeled freedom machine and make for the hills and ride the strange torpedo that is life all the way to the end...OR...you could just stay at home in fear that you will miss your favourite show on A&E every Tuesday night at 9pm. Did you see it last night though?! That was the best one yet! I heart 'The First 48'.

This Ironhead Sportster from new York is yet another bike that we have been meaning to use for ages! Enjoy people...

"Well I feel pretty good and I guess that I could get crazy now baby, Cause we all got in tune and when the dressing room got hazy now baby, I know how you want it child hot, quick and tight, The girls can't stand it when you're doin'it right, Let me up on the stand and let me kick out the jam Yeah, kick out the jams I want to kick'em out!"

Apparently if you take 3 Panhead engine and machine the lower cases together side by side, fit the barrells at a 45 degree angle, mill the heads so the deck meets the barrells to keep the rockers level...it will never ever run.

Chris is super lucky to be able to ride his XS650 chopper around Nor.Cal. Doll Baby Eyes is super un-lucky not to be able to ride his XS650 chopper around So.Cal because the frame is cracked and its totally fucked and its in a million pieces and Malcom blew his front end out.

Dr Glory….is a ‘Shrub Rockateer’.
