by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com If you’re a bike owner, it’s very hard to decide on what customization path to go down on, especially when there’s nothing to inspire the build you want. One way would be to leave the design and the build to the custom shop of choice, and trust that what comes out the garage’s doors at the end was worth the while and money spent. The owner of the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob we have here seems to have done just that. He trusted German garage Thunderbike with the creation of a unique machine, and what resulted is the aptly called Wrinkle Bob. The bike takes its name after the colors used all over the bodywork. Featuring ...

For those of us living or working in cities, getting around has been a whole lot more complicated in 2020. With the Government repeatedly telling us to keep away from public transport if at all possible and traffic returning to near pre-pandemic levels, as more people use their cars, many have been left to make the difficult decision of taking risks with their well-being or enduring hours a week in jams to get to work. But there could be an answer to the problem - and it ...

"Here’s your 2020 Biltwell People’s Champ finalists. These builders have busted their asses during an especially tough year and have all completed their machines. They may be show-quality bikes, but they are all rideable. Since COVID killed everything fun this year, we sent our photo/video dudes out on the road to each builder to document their finished machine. Follow their Instagram pages and pour over the details in the photos and videos by clicking the pics below. (Sadly, Steven Bate’s bike wasn’t rideable by the deadline, so he will not be eligible to be The Champ. He did get the $1K cash consolation prize, as well as a special spot next year at Cook’s Corner and Born Free with the ...

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com There are Star Wars fans, and there are Harley-Davidson fans. Somehow, these two categories don’t seem to mix very well, and this is why we don’t get all that many custom builds inspired by the George Lucas’ imaginary universe. That’s also why our minds light up whenever a Harley-Davidson custom build dedicated to Star Wars pops up. And one just did, courtesy of our favorite German specialized garage, Thunderbike. One of the garage's customers, owner of a Street Bob, asked for this special build to be made. Called Vader’s Fist, the finished project is both a nod to Star Wars, and a testimony of what the German shop can do given the liberty. Riding on ...

The Bavarian company’s new cruiser is even more gorgeous in the flesh than it is in photos, and a joy to ride. Our man Hill returns from a day in the sun on it deeply in love and with a smile as wide as those two mammoth cylinders By Geoff Hill, Mirror, England This time around, BMW has taken inspiration from the lovely 1936 R5, and kept its simple and exquisite look, but super-sized everything else, with the R5’s 494cc, 24bhp and 165kg becoming a whopping 1800cc, 91bhp and 345kg. That could have resulted in it going from young Marlon Brando to old Marlon Brando, but it hasn’t: it looked stunning in photos, and when I walked up to it ...

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler said Monday he would ask the Justice Department to look into whether environmental advocacy groups receiving overseas funding should register as foreign agents. His letter on enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) came in response to a request from Rep. Lance Gooden, Texas Republican, who raised concerns this month about overseas entities seeking to increase U.S. reliance on renewable energy by funding the environmental movement. “Given heightened concern that foreign countries, primarily China and Russia, are potentially funding U.S.-based ‘green’ groups to undermine American energy independence and to help maintain the integrity of EPA’s decision-making, EPA will refer this matter to the DOJ FARA Unit,” Mr. Wheeler said in his letter. “The ...
