Victory Celebrates 15 Years

I remember visiting the Victory headquarters, back in the early days, when their first model rolled out. It looked a bit chunky, but it was a great ride overall. I have road tested every one of their models. Victory Motorcycles has gone a long way since 1998, and seems headed down the road to greatness.  To celebrate this 15-year milestone, Victory produced a nice video. Enjoy!

J&P Cycles Gears Up to Customize Four Bikes

The project is being headed up by Sean Salger, merchandising manager for J&P Cycles and a highly experienced technician.  He recently returned from a Midwest excursion to fill a trailer with not one, but three new bikes fresh off various dealer floors.  Instead of locking Sean in the shop with a single assistant for weeks on end, he’s going to get all of us desk jockeys involved.  When he’s working on aspects of the customization involving the lines we manage, we’re going to be right there with him, wrenching, learning and getting grease under our nails…and we can’t wait!

More Than 300 Motorcycles Shut Down Freeway for Marriage Proposal

  After several hundred motorcyclists shut down the 10 Freeway so one biker could propose to his girlfriend on the pavement, the California Highway Patrol says criminal charges could be filed. A YouTube video of the dramatic interstate proposal, posted below, drew attention to the event, which happened Sunday under a freeway overpass in West Covina, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles.   In the video, many dozens of motorcyclists occupied all eastbound lanes of the freeway, with the pack headed toward the overpass where family members were gathered, looking down. After emitting a cloud of pink smoke from his motorcycle, a biker got down on one knee before his girlfriend, who was still wearing her red helmet. Several other bikers did wheelies off to the side, with between 300 to 400 bikers behind them. With smoke swirling, the other bikers gathered around the couple, who got a few congratulatory hugs. The new fiancée looked shocked. Continue reading

Wimmer Best of Show in Charlotte

Story by "Cadillac" Joe D. This past weekend, the Mid-Atlantic region was host to a show that never disappoints. That was the Easyriders 2013 Bike Show presented by Geico and Dennis Kirk. An annual event in North Carolina where literally thousands of people flocked to the Charlotte Convention Center to view a vast array of some of the coolest custom bikes on the east coast. This region of the country has some of the best builders in the world, so the competition is ALWAYS a very close contest. This year, the best of show was history in the making. The best of show went to IMBBA Master Builder and Hall of Fame Member, Lee Wimmer of Wimmer Custom Cycle in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Not a huge surprise given the track record of this great builder and humanitarian.  The surprising thing might be the brand of bike the custom build was created from……..that being an SX 650 Yamaha. Now, is fairness, the only thing that is actually Yamaha is the motor. The entire rest of this exquisite bike is hand built by Lee Wimmer himself.   John Greene of Easyriders said "This is the first time in history that a metric bike under 1000cc has one best of show."  Congrats to Lee from all his pals and fans for a job well done.    >
