Steve McQueen’s 1938 Harley-Davidson WLD Solo Sport was sold for $125,000 at the  recently held Mecom Auction in Anaheim, California. What makes this bike different from previously auctioned McQueen owned bikes was that this was the bike out of his collection that he rode the most. Plus McQueen’s personal tools that were discovered neatly wrapped in a piece of denim cloth and tucked away in a special frame-mounted toolbox were with the bike.  Another cool thing about this bike that was owned by the “King of Cool” was that had only 21,000 miles on its odometer.

The roar of motorbikes echoed through Australia's capital cities on Sunday as thousands of riders united in opposition to Queensland's anti-biker/anti-association legislation. The Australian Motorcycle Council (AMC) says the new laws, said to be aimed at criminal motorcycle clubs, have resulted in the harassment of law-abiding motorcyclists. Many have reported being pulled over by police multiple times a day and questioned over links to outlaw clubs. More than a thousand bikers, lawyer groups and civil libertarians protested outside Queensland parliament on Sunday. Melbourne had a similar turnout, while 500 people gathered in Sydney and 200 in Hobart and Adelaide, AMC chair Shaun Lennard told media.

    RetroMod Rigid Panhead Oil Tank Text and Photos by Doug Coffey I needed an oil tank for this build that would be rather unique. It had to hold a full size battery from a late model electric start Dyna or Softail as my large high compression stroker motor would need all the starting power it could get. It had to completely hide the battery because I didn’t want any of it to protrude above the frame rails and it had to hold lots of oil.
My preference was round oil tanks so I started looking for cylinder like containers to see what size might fit.
After testing a variety of ice cream containers and my wife’s Tupperware I found a ...

A month and a half later I woke up from a coma in the hospital bed not being able to get up to go take a piss. I was wondering what was going on so finally a nurse came in and just jokingly I asked her if I’m paralyzed ...
