Lowbrow Customs - Midwest Moto Swap

Went to Medina for Lowbrow's Midwest Moto Swap. Saw some killer bikes, ran into friends and got some deals on parts and tools. Had a great time. Tyler and the Lowbrow crew are awesome people. Looking forward to the next one.

The Steam Hammer - High Test Speed & Machine

I first saw this amazing industrial art deco bike last year during the BF5 Show Class Peoples Champ competition. It was built by the genius fabricator Trav at High Test Speed & Machine. Trav is a metal artist. His talents include fabrication, finishing, casting and vintage signs. You've probably seen some of his signs without realizing they were his creation. He made a sign for Josh at Old School Helmets and a sign for the legendary Jeff Wright at Church of Choppers.  He's one talented dude, especially for a Canadian ;)

Honda Rebel 250 Project Bike

My wife has ridden with me for years, but never ridden on her own. So this year for her birthday I bought her a Honda Rebel 250 I found on CL.

I taught her how to ride and she was on her own in a matter of minutes. Of course, we can't leave the bike completely stock. But, because she's still a beginner, I want to keep the bike safe for her, so I can't strip it down and do a full rebuild like I would like to. This project will be primarily aesthetic. She likes black and white, so probably wheels and tires, bars, grips, lights, etc. Nothing too crazy.

Here it is as I got it


I will post updates as it progresses

Born Free 6 : Cro Customs - Uncle Sam's Resurrection Episode 1


Caleb is changing it up this year. Instead of building a new bike for Born Free 6, he is rebuilding his beloved Uncle Sam chopper that was damaged when he was hit by a car while riding in Hollywood. He enlisted the help of Brandon at Mullins Chain Drive to fix the bent and broken frame.
