ISSUE 28 - SEPT/OCT 2009

Speaking of raves my dads hippy mate Julian (yes the same person who drove around with vice grips as a steering wheel on his V6 powered Transit van for 3 months) went to a rager one night and his experience was terrifying and hilarious at the same time. He was approached by a guy who had some little white pills in his hand which he thought were ecstasy tablets. It was after he took all 4 that he realized they were not. To this day he doesn't know what they were...but here is what happened. Everything started going in slow motion big time so he decided he had to find a chair in the corner and sit down to ride it out. About 5 minutes later he got crazy tunnel vision that consisted of total blackness and a tiny circle at the end of the tunnel where colour and sound became one and were spinning around simultaneously! It was at this point he knew he was going to die. Unbelievably he didn't and after what seemed like months his vision came back so he decided to dance it out for 3 days straight. Vincent Black Shadow Drag Bike.

I have always dreamed of riding a real Chopper across America so that I could really feel the freedom of life and have the experience of being completely at one with my Machine. Unfortunately riding across America takes more than a week and if I miss one episode of Eastenders I get super bummed.

Oh god how many times do I need to hear the whole thing about what is better, a 'Chopper' or a 'Bobber'. I mean that's like saying what's better a 'Slurpy' or a 'Slush Puppy'? The answer is simple... 'Slush Puppy'. 'Slurpys' are absolutely disgusting and the texture is terrible and the flavours are all rubbish and I wouldn't drink one if my face was on fire and my throat was drier than Ghandi's flip flop! So there you have it on the whole situation. Fraser is from London and this is his '45.

I can't really explain the brilliance of Nikki's bike so I will let this link do all the talking. http://www.unicornlady.net/stories/last_unicorns.html

I know I have talked about how much Paul McCartney looks like an owl before and I'm sorry to keep bringing it up, but come on! He really does look like an owl right?! Wait, I think I also talked about how much the Olson twins looks like owls too didn't I? Again...come on! It doesn't get more owlish than that does it?!

Gary is a legend. He customized this Corvette in the '60s and he still drives the hell out of it to this day! Oh and he wears Hush Puppies... yep, legend.

Jeremiah of Love Cycles has come a long way since we featured his Cone Shovel back in issue 17! Check out this ultra clean Panhead Chopper! I want it.

Hard Nine Choppers in Switzerland are pushing the boundaries with this BMX style Harley '45 and we have the full scoop on this little baby.

I owe Mike Davis $10.00 because I didn't have any money to pay for a couple of sissy bars I got from him at the Long Beach swap meet. So far I have managed to stay out of his way for a couple of months now and I'm hoping I can dodge him for a couple more...oh wait the Born Free show is this weekend. Damn it, there goes my tenner.



I saw this Ironhead Sportster at last years Jokers show in Sweden in pretty much stock form. This year it looked a whole lot different!

We told Mateo from Seattle that due to the fact that we are broke, our budget for a photo shoot is pretty non existent. He gave us these polaroids that he took himself. Touché Mr Mateo, Touché

The Style Bible in issue 28 is Animals. It's absolutely Ridoz!

If I were to ask you who you preferred...Gobachov or Yeltzin who would you say?
I personally haven't seen a film in recent years where any of them did a good job of acting so I'm on the fence. Pauly Shore though?!...Genius! "Wheezin The Ju-ice!"

Think…Stripped Down. Think….Light Weight. Think about…Megan Fox.
OH MY GOD!…MEGAN FOX!

"Mr. Morgan, If you're edged cuz I'm weezin' all your grindage, just chill.. cuz if I had the whole Brady Bunch thing goin' on over at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so don't taxt my gig so hardcore cruster." Pauly Shore...genius!

Yutaka's Sportster was built for a purpose…Tokyo Traffic. Plus it looks wonderful too!

You may remember Matt Darwon's killer Norton from issue 8? Well he has totally lost the plot now and built himself a Harley.
