Bikers In Need, aka B.I.N. an organization in Brevard County Florida started by Bear Conroy to help out bikers who were going through hard times for one reason or another. When Bear passed away it was taken over by Mama Bear, aka Ellen Gochenauer, who continues to run it today. Ellen and the others who […]

    It has been a long cold winter even in Charlotte NC. Ten inches of snow and ice at one time is unheard of.  Cabin fever hit hard and Daytona Bike week was fast approaching. Just the needed fix for those winter time blues!   Vicki and I decided we had to peel to

    If you ride motorcycles of any kind, street, dirt, race track, cruisers, café racer, dragster, dual-purpose, you most likely share a common denominator when it comes to motorcycle parties.  Basically any reason is good enough to call together your buddies, be it to ride for morning pancakes, benefit a worthy charity, or, what

    There are a lot of Bike Shows in Daytona Beach and the surrounding area during Bike Week and one I never miss is the one at Tropical Tattoo on Thursday. As usual it was packed so I must not be the only one who likes it.              

    We moved into our new shop in October 2009. The new shop was nice, all asphalt (no weeds to kill) and we didn’t have to drive 20 miles or more round trip every time we needed something. The very first time I needed a washer and was able to walk to the store

      Motorcycles sat at home, sad and waiting for warmer weather, but the riders were out in full force. The 2014 Colorado Motorcycle Expo was a big success, no thanks to old man winter. Even with highways closed all around Colorado about 20,000 bikers and motorcycle enthusiast came out to the National Western

    Working behind the scene to organize a Bike show can be a roller coaster ride of emotions, especially when relying on other people to do their part.     Ned Kelly’s Rally at the Mt Alford Hotel has been an annual event of stalls, bands and also a show and shine of the

  Lights, camera ACTION! and lots of it, morning to the next morning, does this town ever sleep??? Being from Philly, NYC is a skip and a jump up the Turnpike. I’m in Manhattan as often as possible because it’s clearly one of the greatest cities on Earth.        Jody Perewitz’s Bagger —

    Life is nuts, but freedom and the creative spirit never wanes. Each year we look for another way to modify anything and everything from our girl’s boob size, to her new bikini, to our shop two-stage epoxy deck, to the next project bike. You know the artsy metal drive is lingering deep in

AMA Pro Racing is pleased to announce the complete AMA Pro Flat Track schedule for the upcoming 2014 season; an agenda that includes 16 rounds featuring non-stop entertainment and thrilling motorcycle racing action from the AMA Pro Grand National Championship (GNC) and AMA Pro Singles classes.  “We’re excited to be announcing the 2014 AMA Pro

  Perhaps some would call it a “crime of passion” to “recycle” classic  British bikes into “works of art,” but perhaps there’s significant leeway when the custom creations are for the  most salvaged bits and pieces reconfigured into scratch built and streetable “one-offs.” Then again, do bikes… nut and bolt mechanical gizmos filled with goopy

      I still fondly remember the day and time when I bought my first Enfield back in April 2007. Until then I humped a Yamaha. Then I graduated and became a man, and rode a battle ready, World War II tested motorcycle. Enfield has indeed come a long way from its humble beginnings

    For over 30 years there have been Harleys running at Little River Raceway just outside of Temple, Texas at summers end.         The past 30 years Red Roberts has held these drag races each year on Labor Day weekend, which allows for 3 days of racing fun.  You do however

    The Dallas edition of the 2013-14 Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show was packed from opening bell on Friday to the awards ceremony on Sunday at 4PM. The free parking for motorcycles drew a huge 2-wheel crowd that funneled into the Progressive International Motorcycle Show and the very first bikes they saw were the

  The trials, tribulations and success of the Love Ride seem to have come full circle. They may not have raised the kind of money this year as they have in years past, but they held a masterly organized event packed with the most amazingly talented guest stars hitting the stage from start to finish.

  Reports are pouring in from Daytona Beach Biketoberfest. The attendance numbers from the event are still depressed. Traffic has been down since 2004. The majority of the rolling traffic hits the hub of the action, including the traditional biker areas on Main Street, Beach Street, Daytona 500 racetrack, Mid-Town in Daytona Beach and Bruce

   The Broken Spoke Saloon, the nation’s largest and longest running Biker Bar is definitely a place to go if you are looking for a good time during Biketoberfest.             The Broken Spoke Daytona is known for its historic willow tree with motorcycles hanging from it. With the open air bars,

      Biketoberfest 2013 started with a ride on Thursday morning with friends to the Tropical Tattoo Ride In Bike Show on US1 in Ormond Beach.      The Garage and Old Skool Bikes are a Big Hit and one of the major ride in shows during events in the Daytona Beach area.  

  BikeFest returned to Las Vegas for its 13th edition, with a twist.   New this year was headliner entertainment, a killer contemporary art show, and vendors peddling the fleshy wares that have made Sin City famous. Also noted—a growing Big Wheel trend in bike building. Super-sized front wheels reaching cartoonish heights were hung on

  Editor Note: The 2014 IronWorks Magazine Chile Pepper Rally is Sponsored by Bikernet   I got on the horn with Marilyn Stemp, Editor of IronWorks Magazine, and explained that I couldn’t make Indian Larry’s Block Party in Brooklyn, New York, because I was heading West to New Mexico to get the gears turning on the

  Cottonwood, Arizona, once home to bad guys and bootleggers, is nestled in Arizona’s verdant Verde Valley, a serene setting belying its often-violent past. It recently hosted the 13th Annual Thunder Valley Rally, giving props to all the outlaws and free spirits who have returned to its rebel bosom. Decades after Al Capone personally bailed

  The annual pilgrimage to Bruce’s Bar in Severance Colorado was only delayed a little by the recent floods that ravaged that area. Checking the web site the day before, I found the event had been postponed a week. Ninety percent of the roads and bridges heading from Denver to Severance were still closed because
