    G & B Customs 2011 Road Glide Text by Richard Kranzler, Photos by Julian Glascoe We have all spent a wild night throwing dollar bills around trying to convince ourselves that we really want to take home that painted up dancer. Then after the whisky wears off we realize that what we really want is that cute Southern Belle working the night shift down at the local gas station. Sure she isn’t dressed in Latex and Leather but there is something about her understated sophistication that just tells you she is the one. That’s exactly how I felt when I first got a look at George Bennett’s the owner of G and B Customs first bagger build “Copper Seduction”.  She isn’t the most dressed up Bagger in the parking lot but everyone in town is talking about it and its dressed just right for a night on the town whether that is the local strip club or 5 star Steak House, like that cute little thing at the gas station this bike is able to fit in anywhere.

  The Assalt Weapon II Reaches Lucky Devil Metal Works in Houston By Bandit with photos by Wrench It all started with a Denny’s breakfast conversation over bacon laced pancakes. I’ll never forget those tasty puppies. The first element we ordered was our belly tank fiberglass body from Class Glass back east. Very helpful staff. they manufacture fiberglass bodies for race vehicles, hot rods, Mustang hoods, you name it. Keep in mind; we don’t have an unlimited budget, so we are attempting a first with a hand full of dollars. But on the other side of the coin is the desire to create a classic racer, something that will stand the test of time, or at least my time. Belly Tanks are classic to the bone. Hard working guys with limited budgets, and a ton of desire used them. That’s us. Click to read Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

  Harley-Davidson Museum has acquired one of the few surviving 1990 Harley-Davidson FatBoy® motorcycles used in the filming of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” At the time of filming, the FatBoy was one of Harley-Davidson’s newest models, and the one now in the Museum’s permanent collection was ridden by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 action classic. “Terminator 2 is an iconic film and a celebrated piece of pop culture history,” said Jim Fricke, Curatorial director of the Harley-Davidson Museum. “This motorcycle arguably played one of the most significant film roles in Harley-Davidson’s history, and we’re thrilled it has found its permanent home here at the Museum, where it will be preserved for future generations.” The bike, which still shows significant production wear from filming, joins a collection of more than 450 motorcycles and thousands of other artifacts housed at the Museum in the Harley-Davidson Archives. More information on when the bike will be on public display will be released in the coming months
